POLICY ACTIVITIES AND OBJECTIVES
The Working Group’s core objectives include:
- Promoting the European Security Industry in general, and the interests of the members of EOS IBS WG in particular.
- Endorsing an integrated approach to procurement policy, in parallel to a comprehensive strategy for future ISF funding.
- Enhancing the reputation of security equipment manufacturers and building lasting relationships with all European Security Regulators.
- Enlarging the cross cutting applications of the technologies in the field of civil protection, land and maritime security, as well as non-transport security, such as customs, CBRNE and overarching communication networks.
- Working with regulators and customers to set up and define a stable regulatory environment that will increase security and counter threats in a manner that is realistic, achievable and acceptable to the industry.
- Supporting the harmonisation and development of EU Regulations, as well as standards and interfaces that will ensure equipment interoperability and compatibility.
