This Fourth CoESS White Paper builds on the earlier impetus of those that have preceded it: ‘La participation de la sécurité privée à la sécurité générale en Europe - Private security and its role in European security’, ‘Privat och offentlig säkerhet i ett nordiskt perspektiv - Private and public security in the Nordic countries’ and
‘Private veiligheid in België; een inspiratie voor Europa? - La sécurité privée en Belgique; source d’inspiration pour l’Europe? - Private security in Belgium, a source of inspiration for Europe?’.
The content of this Fourth CoESS White Paper does not break with the themes of its predecessors. This time we focus more, mostly from an economic perspective, on the added value of private security services in Europe. The core of this White Paper refers to the need for new ideas that are legitimately supported by existing
scientific literature. 14/03/2013 | |  |
| | | | | | METPROM stands for Modular Enhanced Training Programme for European Maritime Security Personnel.The main aim of the METPROM Project is to transfer the innovation already developed for the maritime security training and simulation based modules, in order to fill the security gaps created as the result of increased complex operational activities in ports which are vital for the timely conduct of shipping that more than 90 % of the world trade depend on.
CoESS will take the lead of Work Package 7 of the proposed project. It will oversee, support and coordinate the dissemination, exploitation and valorisation of the project. CoESS is fully committed to support the project when and where needed so as to ensure a successful project outcome and will assist – within the framework of its means and objectives – partners in their respective work packages. Through 27 national private security employers’ associations residing under CoESS’ umbrella, the outcomes of the project might receive widespread dissemination, which will in turn lead to a higher uniformity of vocational training programmes.
The first issue of the METPROM Newsflash is now available. | | |
