MEDIA RELEASE:- MINISTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY AND HEAD OF THE EUROPEAN UNION IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO SIGN MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Minister of National Security the Honourable Fitzgerald Hinds M.P. and Head of Delegation of the European Union to Trinidad and Tobago, His Excellency Peter Cavendish on Wednesday May 18, 2022 signed an historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
The MOU formalizes arrangements between the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and Expertise France to implement the Seaport Cooperation Project Phase V (SEACOP V) in Trinidad and Tobago. Expertise France will be administrating the SEACOP in this region.
The Signing Ceremony took place at the Ministry of National Security Head Office at Temple Court 1, 31-33 Abercromby Street, Port-of-Spain.
Speaking at the Signing Ceremony, both Minister Hinds and His Excellency Cavendish stated that the MOU signing demonstrates the further strengthening of collaboration between Trinidad and Tobago and the European Union, as it relates to combatting transnational crime, in particular the transshipment of illicit narcotics, which will redound to bolstering domestic, regional and international security.
Also speaking and signing the MOU, on behalf of Expertise France, was Project Director of the SEACOP Mr. Dominique Bucas.
In 2015, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago agreed to participate in the European Union SEACOP Project. SEACOP was established in 2010 and is one of seven (7) projects under the wider European Commission-funded Cocaine Route Programme (CRP), which is aimed at effectively addressing the broad spectrum of challenges presented by organized crime and drug trafficking, particularly cocaine trafficking. The Project seeks to enhance capacities and strengthen cooperation against maritime trafficking in countries on the transatlantic cocaine route, via the creation of inter-agency units in key ports, as well as the establishment of a national maritime information system to promote information sharing.
