Contribution to wider strategies and policies:

EUStrategyDanubeRegion The Romania-Ukraine (RO-UA) project aimed at securing the border at Romania-Ukraine's northern border can contribute to the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) in several ways:
Environmental Protection: The project will include elements of environmental protection, such as monitoring and controlling cross-border pollution, which aligns with the EUSDR’s focus on environmental preservation and sustainable use of natural resources.
Enhanced Security and Stability: By securing the border, the project contributes to the overall stability and security of the Danube Region. This is crucial for fostering a safe and secure environment, which is a foundational aspect of the EUSDR.
Improved Cross-Border Cooperation: Effective management of the border can lead to enhanced cooperation between Romania and Ukraine. This can result in better coordination in areas like crime prevention, border management, and emergency response, which are important aspects of the EU's regional strategy.
SeaBasinStrategyBlackSea The Romania-Ukraine (RO-UA) project aimed at securing the border at the northern Romania-Ukraine border can contribute to the Common Maritime Agenda for the Black Sea in several ways:
Enhanced Security and Stability: Strengthening border security can help maintain stability in the Black Sea region. A secure border reduces the risk of illegal activities like smuggling and trafficking, which can have wider regional implications.
Improved Surveillance and Information Sharing: The project can enhance surveillance capabilities and information sharing between Romania and Ukraine. This can be extended to maritime surveillance, contributing to the overall safety and security of the Black Sea.
Environmental Protection: Border security initiatives often involve monitoring environmental factors. This aligns with the Common Maritime Agenda's focus on sustainable blue growth and environmental protection in the Black Sea region.
Collaboration in Emergency Response: The RO-UA border project can establish protocols and infrastructure for emergency response, which can be beneficial in maritime emergencies, such as oil spills or search and rescue operations in the Black Sea.
Boost to Regional Cooperation: This project can serve as a model for regional cooperation, encouraging other Black Sea countries to collaborate on border security and maritime issues. This aligns with the Common Maritime Agenda's goal of fostering regional cooperation.
Combating Cross-Border Crime: Effective border control between Romania and Ukraine can help combat cross-border crime, which in turn can have a positive impact on the security of the Black Sea region, making it safer for maritime activities.
In summary, the RO-UA border security project can significantly contribute to the goals of the Common Maritime Agenda for the Black Sea by enhancing regional security, environmental protection, and cooperation, all of which are essential for the sustainable development of the maritime sector in the region.
Other EU Internal Security Strategy
The project directly supports Objective 1 Disrupt international crime
networks, Objective 4: Strengthen security through border management. Objectives 1 and 4 will be supported by enhancement of the capacities of the border police and national police in Romania and Ukraine, as well as supporting their cooperation in the cross-border area.

The project supports the objectives 1 Increasing citizens' safety, 4 Developing and strengthening national and international cooperation in the field of public order and security, 5.4 Improving public communication approaches and strengthening public confidence in the structures/institutions in charge of public order and safety.
The project activities contribute directly to achieving the above objectives both through concrete measures, such as improving the law enforcement infrastructure.
National Integrated Border Management Strategy:
The border police are responsible for the surveillance and control of national borders, ensuring the effective monitoring and management of cross-border movements. This includes implementing advanced methods for border surveillance to prevent illegal smuggling.
The border police work in tandem with other relevant authorities to ensure a comprehensive approach to border management.
National Strategy Against Organised Crime 2021-2024:
The border police are critical in preventing and detecting organized crime activities at the national borders, such as smuggling of goods.
They gather intelligence on cross-border criminal activities and share this information with national and international law enforcement agencies.
Ukraine National Security Strategy
