CONNECTOR’s vision is to contribute to the European Integrated Border Management (EIBM) and to the EU Customs Action Plan by addressing the
need of close cooperation between Customs, Border and Coast Guard Authorities within the current and upcoming challenging and demanding
environment of borders’ control by further involving Customs to the Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE) network and Enhanced
Common Information Sharing Environment (e-CISE) through the proposed Customs Extended Common Information Sharing Environment (CECISE).
CONNECTOR aims for the first time to suggest an integrated, common and shared risk assessment approach for all Border Management Authorities,
considering the pan-EU common risk indicators per end user group (Customs, Border and Coast Guards Authorities including FRONTEX), to ensure
external EU border and secure EU citizens from cross-border crime and/or secure the seamless flow of travellers, as recommended in the multiannual
strategic policy document . Thus, in this sense, CONNECTOR proposal, will design and develop the CONNECTOR system as an interoperable
technical environment, ensuring close and practical cooperation and information exchange at all levels. The design and the development of the
CONNECTOR system will be based on the analysis of current policy initiatives in EU level (directives, policy and staff documents, guidelines etc.)
along with needs, gaps and future views of the end-user groups going beyond previous initiatives (ANDROMEDA, MARISA, EFFECTOR, etc.),
complying with the Societal, Ethical and Legal (SoEL) requirements and regulations, following the SoEL-by-design principle. The CONNECTOR
system will be validated in real operational environment, based on well-defined National, Cross-border and Transnational use cases defined commonly
by Customs and Border and Coast Guards authorities, during three (3) long lasting trials (Demonstration and Testing) under standardised
methodology.
