On 26 May, the ATU, with support from the Secretariat’s External Co-operation Section, coorganized a visit for the OSCE Mediterranean Partners for Co-operation to the Austrian State Printing House and a Vienna Passport enrolment centre. The goal was to further enhance co-operation between the OSCE and Mediterranean Partners in the area of travel document security. On 7-8 October, the ATU and the Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan co-organized a two-day training on “Promoting the ICAO Public Key Directory” in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The training covered, for example, the advantages of the PKD over other methods to validate ePassport data. On 8-19 November, the OSCE Centre in Bishkek and the ATU, in co-operation with the OS/Borders Team, also co-organized a training on “Increasing Operational Awareness to Detect Forged Travel Documents” in Novopokrovka, Kyrgyzstan. The 20 participants came from the Border Troops of the State National Security Service, the Ministry of Interior, the State Customs Service and the State Registration Service of Kyrgyzstan. On 6-10 December, the OSCE Centre in Bishkek and the ATU, in co-operation with the INTERPOL General Secretariat, co-organized a training on “Strengthening Database EndUser Skills” for border control officials in Kyrgyzstan. The training was held in the newly opened INTERPOL National Central Bureau training facility supported by the Centre in Bishkek. The training comes within the framework of the OSCE/INTERPOL project to provide real-time access to INTERPOL databases at 10 border control points. Container/Supply Chain Security The ATU also runs a programme addressing the threat of smuggling explosive devices and weapons. The security of Containers Supply Chains (CSC) has great importance for countering trafficking of illegal drugs and other goods, as well as human beings. On 15-25 May, the ATU facilitated and participated in a needs assessment visit on port and container security with UNODC and the World Customs Organization (WCO) in Georgia, within the framework of the Container Control Programme (CCP). The CCP supports the establishment of inter-agency port control units, comprising staff trained in risk profiling and advanced search techniques to target and inspect high-risk containers. The assessment team confirmed that the establishment of port control units would significantly enhance the capabilities of Georgia to counter various forms of illicit trafficking, in line with its international commitments. On 7-11 June, the ATU co-sponsored a Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) regional WCO workshop in St. Petersburg. The workshop was hosted by the Russian Customs Academy and brought together customs officers from 16 WCO European Members/OSCE participating States. The workshop focused on procurement and maintenance of NII equipment (in particular x-ray scanners), tactical risk management approach to targeting containers for inspection, training of NII operators and interpretation of x-ray images. Cyber Security Throughout 2010, the ATU continued its close co-ordination and co-operation with the SPMU on the development and promotion of a comprehensive approach to cyber security. Both structures pro-actively informed each other of planned activities and initiatives and kept each other in the loop throughout their implementation. In addition, frequent informal exchanges of views and brainstorming sessions took place during 2010. 26
