On 11 November, a ten-day training course on the detection of forged documents was held for border officials in the Novopokrovka Border Troops Training Centre near Bishkek. The training was led by two Document Advisors from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Interior and included sessions on how to detect forged documents, analysis and global developments in travel documents. The course was part of a wider project of the OSCE to enhance travel document security in the Kyrgyz Republic. This was the 17th course organized by the ATU and the OS/Borders Team in co-operation with OSCE field operations. The course material has been developed by the Austrian Federal MoI and recognized by FRONTEX as best practice material. In Uzbekistan, the Unit continued to support the OSCE Project Co-ordinator’s large-scale project supporting the introduction of an electronic passport, which was co-developed with the ATU. In 2011, this included facilitating an 11-day study visit for a group of seven Uzbek travel document security officials to North America to learn more about the introduction of ePassports. The Uzbek delegation visited the national passport authorities of Canada and the United States, as well as the Secretariat of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). As in past years, the ATU contributed to the ICAO’s decision making body, the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) and its working groups, the Implementation and Capacity Building Working Group (ICBWG) and the New Technologies Working Group (NTWG), to support policy level initiatives strengthening law enforcement and border management tools used to fight organized crime. Container/Supply Chain Security On 16-17 May, the ATU co-organized with the World Customs Organization (WCO) a subregional workshop for South-Eastern Europe on the “SAFE Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade”, with particular focus on the concept of the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO). The workshop was held at the WCO Regional Training Centre Skopje and brought together 15 customs participants. In addition to the ATU, representatives from the OS/Borders Team and the OCEEA helped to prepare the workshop and gave presentations on relevant OSCE activities. On 13-16 June, the ATU and the WCO jointly organized a National Workshop in Yerevan on introducing simplified and more secure customs procedures to facilitate international trade, known as Single Window. The workshop, attended by 20 participants from the Republic of Armenia was a follow-up to the national SAFE strategic action plan workshop held by the WCO in Yerevan in 2009 with support from the ATU. The concept of Single Window counts among the technical specifications of the SAFE Framework. Cyber Security From 9-10 May, the ATU, on behalf of the Lithuanian OSCE Chairmanship, organized the “OSCE Conference on a Comprehensive Approach to Cyber Security: Exploring the Future OSCE Role”.
