Over the last two days, CEPOL's Executive Director Detlef Schröder has held many discussions on the areas of the future cooperation with the Agency's key stakeholders in Lisbon, Portugal.
On 27 May, the ED met with Portuguese Minister of Internal Administration Eduardo Cabrita, visited Portuguese Judiciary Police to discuss areas of potential strengthened cooperation and Portuguese National Republican Guard and the representatives of Polícia de Segurança Pública at the Instituto Superior de Ciências Policiais e Segurança Interna.
Detlef Schröder commented on these:
I have felt today sincerely honoured by the excellent hospitality of my Potuguese hosts! It was a great pleasure to meet Minister Cabrita and the representatives of the different services. I am very grateful for the open and constructive discussions. The proven high commitment of these partners and a strong interest in CEPOL services are really encouraging!
It was also again a great pleasure to visit our reliable partners from GNR in their HQ! With their broad expertise, e.g. on CSDP missions and cooperation with third countries, I do see an excellent potentialeven to deepen our collaboration. I was impressed with the state of the art analysis of operational data!
Great thanks also to the partners from Police Judiciary in Portugal for enabling such a great visit! They have an outstanding modern headquarters with very advanced training and operational facilities. I am looking forward that we can even deepen our solid partnership!
Portugal has been CEPOL's strong partner with high rates of involvement in recent activities, high attendance to training and standards of their contribution. CEPOL has received a number of quality seconded national experts from this Member State and practical support in leading CEPOL Knowledge Centre on CSDP missions.
On 28 May, Executive Director also met with his counterpart, Alexis Goosdeel, at the Lisbon-based sister Justice and Home Affairs EU Agency - The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA). They both discussed training activities supported by EMCDDA and cooperation within the JHA Agencies network. Among other issues touched upon were: cooperation with third countries, including synergies in capacity building projects, development of webinars and cooperation on training accreditation.
