1. Programme strategy: main challenges and policy responses Reference: points (a)(iii), (iv), (v) and (ix) Article 22(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 (CPR)

In Estonia, there has been a significant change in the national strategic planning process compared to the programming of the 2014-2020 period. All strategic planning of the national needs and their financing is central; there is no separate process for programming the EU funds. The planning is source-neutral; the mapping of important strategic goals is done without determining the source of budget. The funding is decided on a rolling basis during the yearly budgeting exercises. This fundamental change in process has also affected the compilation and structure of this programme. The ISF programme is designed to address the most pressing challenges identified at the national level and complement the national funding. Synergies and consistencies with other programmes and instruments are sought, where possible. Security is addressed in several Union programmes, coherence is integral with other EU funds e.g. AMIF and BMVI which all support actions contributing to the EU’s overall security. Furthermore, synergies between the Justice programme and the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme are relevant in terms of assisting and protecting the victims of crime and judicial training to a lesser extent but also inter-agency cooperation between relevant law enforcement authorities and ensuring connection of LEAs security-related IT-systems to ECRIS-TCN. Also, there is synergy with the EU Customs Programme 2021-27 in terms of responding to security threats and cross-border crime. Similarly, coherence with Cohesion Policy Funds, Horizon Europe and the Digital Europe programme are kept in mind in relevant areas. Simultaneously with the programming of the ISF, the planning of the use of Cohesion Policy Funds is carried out in Estonia, thereby the complementarity and prevention of any overlaps on national level is ensured. The actions to be financed will depend on the resources available and priorities at the time. The precise actions and the source of financing will be agreed during the implementation of the programme in accordance with national procedures. Synergies with other funds (e.g. AMIF, BMVI) and agencies’ toolbox will be sought and overlapping avoided by the thorough communication between the ministries, the European Commission, agencies and other relevant stakeholders. The-long term umbrella strategy Estonia 2035 provides a coherent guidance for policy-makers in different areas. The main national strategy covering the internal security goals is the Internal Security Development Plan (ISDP). The ISDP has been developed in close partnership with all relevant partners and stakeholders (please see Section 4 for more comprehensive overview concerning their input). The priorities highlighted in the ISDP are creating secure living environment (incl. less violence); ensured internal security (incl. fight against organised crime, readiness for crisis); fast and professional help; citizenship, migration and identity administration policy that ensures Estonian development; smart and innovative internal security.

The ISDP 2020-2030 takes into account the relevant EU policies and goals. In Estonia, the responsibility for implementing various relevant policies is intertwined between several ministries and areas of government. Complementarity is sought with national strategies: e.g. Digital Agenda 2020, the general principles of Criminal Policy until 2030, National Security Concept of the Republic of Estonia, the internal security strand in the National Defence Development Plan 2017-2026 and National Radiation Safety Development Plan 2018‒2027.

The main keywords that describe the challenges in Estonia cover most of the ISF objectives: cybercrime, money laundering and terrorist financing, terrorism and radicalization, serious and organised crimes, drug trafficking, financial investigations, corruption, detection and confiscating of criminal assets, trafficking in human beings, (sexual) abuse and exploitation of children, forensic capacity, crisis prevention, emergency preparedness, resilience during crisis, repulsion of cyber-attacks, chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) materials and explosives. The measures to address these challenges include developments and continuity of information and communication technologies, smart and innovative technological tools, increased analytical capacity, (operational) cooperation within and between different parties and authorities as well as improved national capabilities incl. through training and purchase of relevant equipment. Staffing the relevant units with sufficient number of skilled professionals is also a necessity. Other keywords are prevention, early warning and awareness raising. Security research plays an important role in developing

EN 5 EN

innovative methods or deploying new technologies. The goals of the ISF programme can be achieved with the contribution from various authorities in their area of responsibility. The involvement of civil society, other relevant partners and cooperation with the private sector is similarly essential in this area - projects of this nature as well as cooperation with third countries will also be considered when implementing the ISF programme. The support will be given as grants. As some of the challenges remain the same, the ISF 2021-27 programme will partly focus on similar activities as those of ISFP in the period of 2014-2020. ISF-Police 2014-2020 has provided valuable complementary resources for implementing the relevant EU acquis. The current programme continues to ensure coherence with the application of the Union acquis, and where appropriate, action plans, throughout the cycle of the programme and taking into account the new emerging threats. A brief overview of the state of play in implementing the EU acquis is as follows. Estonia has been following the aims and actions of the EU Drugs Strategy 2013-2020 and the EU Action Plan on Drugs 2017-2020 by implementing the national strategy document The White Paper on Drug Prevention Policy, adopted in January 2014. Its main objective is to reduce drug use and the resulting harms. It follows the EU’s balanced approach to drug policy and is structured around seven pillars: (i) supply reduction; (ii) universal primary prevention; (iii) early detection and intervention; (iv) harm reduction; (v) treatment and rehabilitation; (vi) resocialisation; and (vii) monitoring. The implementation and funding of drug policy activities is done through national strategies that follow the aims of White Paper and therefore the EU Drugs Strategy. In terms of EU information systems, the required works stemming from the regulations are ongoing on a national level. The PNR database is being developed from the ISF 2014-2020. The PNR directive was transposed in February 2019. The PIU unit was set up in May 2018 and from 15 August 2019 there is an automatic comparison of passenger data with the SIS. According to the PNR directive Annex I, list of the PNR data also consider API data as a part of the PNR. The programme will ensure the processing of API data as a part of the PNR. API regulation (Regulation (EU) 2025/13 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 December 2024 on the collection and transfer of advance passenger information for the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of terrorist offences and serious crime) implementation will also be addressed with the ISF programme. The SIS in the field of police cooperation has been developed under the ISF-Police. Interpol inquiries have been integrated into SIERNE. The recommendations of Schengen Evaluation 2018 and 2023 reports were considered and kept in focus when planning for 2021-2027. One of the recommendations from the Schengen Evaluation made to Estonia in 2018 is financed from the ISF - development of an interactive e-learning solution on international police cooperation based on practical situations and cases. (see the description of SO2). As for 2023 Schengen evaluation, the recommendation on introducing an automated data loader to the Europol Information System will be financed from the ISF programme. The other needs stemming the Schengen evaluations in the field of SIS/SIRENE and Police Cooperation will be mostly financed from the national budget, however ISF funding could be used where appropriate. The Prüm II regulation (Regulation (EU) 2024/982 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 March 2024 on the automated search and exchange of data for police cooperation) significantly enhances and expands the existing automated data exchange mechanism established under the original Prüm framework. Previously, European Union Member States’ law enforcement authorities could exchange DNA profiles, dactyloscopic data and certain vehicle registration data through bilateral channels with all Member States. The updated regulation adds facial images and police records to these three existing categories, enabling the automatic and anonymized exchange of all five data types. This advancement significantly facilitates the prevention, detection, and investigation of crimes, as well as the search for missing persons and the identification of unknown human remains. Given the aforementioned improvements, the Prüm II mechanism has the potential to be a true game-changer for cross-border police co-operation. The Prüm II Regulation implementation will be addressed by the ISF programme. (see the description of SO1). Estonia participates actively in CEPOL cooperation. CEPOL National Unit is located in Police and Border Guard College of Estonian Academy of Security Sciences (EASS). EASS is also the Framework Partner of CEPOL. In Estonia cooperation with CEPOL is organised in the format of national network

EN 6 EN

consisting of 11 agencies having responsibilities in the field of law enforcement. The training activities for law enforcement officials will take into account the outcomes of the EU Strategic Training Needs Assessment 2022-2025 prepared by CEPOL, special attention will be given to the core capability gaps. The principles of the Directive (EU) 2022/2557 of the European Parliament and of the Council have been taken over by the Emergency Act. There are no problems with the transposition and implementation of EU acquis in Estonia regarding anti- corruption measures. With the Act on Protection of Persons Who Report Work-Related Breaches of European Union Law Estonia has transposed the Directive (EU) 2019/1937 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law. There is no separate EU action plan on anti-corruption and until April 2021 when EU Strategy to tackle Organised Crime 2021-2025 was adopted. It can be concluded that activities of Estonia in the area are not in contradiction to EU strategic objectives. The Commission’s 2021 Rule of Law report points out that the Estonian criminal justice system has proven its effectiveness in identifying high-level corruption cases. Measures to strengthen the preventive side include guidelines for lobbying and conflict of interests. The legislative procedure to adopt comprehensive rules on whistleblowers protection is currently ongoing. The asset declaration system was updated to oblige ministers’ political advisers to submit a declaration of financial interests. The transposition of the EU acquis related to trafficking in human beings into Estonian law has been carried out. Nevertheless, the implementation of measures by different authorities need to be further improved as not all the special measures related to treatment of victims are implemented in everyday work of authorities (e.g. special measures related to hearings). According to Article 2 of the Directive 2011/36/EU of 5 April 2011, Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the following intentional acts are punishable: the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or reception of persons, including the exchange or transfer of control over those persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Estonia is dedicated to the full compliance with the definition of the Anti-trafficking Directive as a primary point of reference. Until April 2021 the latest EU level strategic guidelines in the area of trafficking in human beings were provided in the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council „Reporting on the follow-up to the EU Strategy towards the Eradication of trafficking in human beings and identifying further concrete actions”. Estonia is taking relevant actions to address the three priorities outlined in the communication and contributes in relation to the priorities set in the new EU Strategy on Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings.

Estonia has transposed Directive 2021/555/EC defining a set of common minimum rules for the control of the acquisition and possession of firearms in the EU, as well as the transfer of firearms to another EU country into national law. The 2017 revision brings substantial improvements to security by making it harder to acquire legally certain high capacity weapons, such as automatic firearms transformed into semi- automatics. The firearms directive also strengthens cooperation between EU countries by improving the exchange of information between EU countries (Estonia has been using IMI since September 2019), and brings substantial improvements to traceability of firearms by improving the tracking of legally held firearms, to reduce the risk of diversion into illegal markets. Commission Implementing Directives (EU) 2019/69 and (EU) 2019/68 have also been transposed into Estonian law. Estonia follows the implementing regulation on common minimum standards for deactivation of firearms. All deactivated firearms are registered by the Estonian Police and their records are stored in the register of service and civilian weapons.

The government of Estonia is in process of renewing its priorities for the fight against terrorism in the Internal Security Development Plan (ISDP) 2020-2030. The Strategy will cover all the necessary factors and developments regarding counter-terrorism and violent extremism. ISDP priorities are in conformity with the UN CT Global Strategy, as well as the main principles and priorities of the UN, EU, CoE, OSCE and international law (incl. the protection of human rights). The ISDP is partly restricted.

In December of 2018, the Estonian Parliament passed a bill, which implements UN resolution 2178, the

EN 7 EN

CoE’s Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism Additional Protocol (CETS 217) and EU Directive 2017/541 into national law. Among other things, the bill expanded the notion of victims of terrorism and the elements of crime for the crime of terrorism. The Estonian Parliament adopted amendments to the Penal Code, the Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Prevention Act and Victim Support Act in December 2018 in accordance with the directive of the EU. The bill also brings Estonian legislation in line with the UN resolution and additional protocol of the Council of Europe convention on the prevention of terrorism. The Chemicals Act was amended with additional requirements to oblige prior authorisation for handling hazardous chemicals and the state supervision and notification of suspicious transactions as well as of loss and theft of the explosive precursor(s). The field of security of radioactive sources is regulated by Radiation Act that is in accordance with EU Council directive 2013/59/Euratom and other international conventions and standards. Estonia is in the process of developing additional capacity to identify and interrupt terrorism-related activities on the internet (the EU initiative to counter terrorist content online in cooperation with private sector, incl. the EU Internet Forum). The implementation of the Terrorist Content Online Regulation will be financed from the state budget. Web constables (police officers working on the internet) cooperate with the Internet Referral Unit of the Europol Counter Terrorism Centre (ECTC) on countering illegal web-content and the violent propaganda.

The Anti Money Laundering Act which transposes the Fifth AMLD directive has been adopted in July 2020.

Regarding cybercrime, Estonia has set up legislation and implementation of Budapest Convention and penalisation of illicit activities. Internal operative cooperation between law enforcement and judicial authorities is working well and Estonia is looking forward to new legislation regarding the e-evidence.

Estonia has ratified the Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse (the Lanzarote Convention). Estonian law is in conformity with the criminal law provisions of the Lanzarote Convention. The activities required for ratification of the Convention are specified in the “Development Plan for Children and Families for 2012–2020” and in the “Violence Prevention strategy for 2015–2020”. The topics are also covered in “Action Programme of the Government of the Republic for 2019–2023”, which highlights combating sexual crimes related to minors and targeting perpetrators.

Unfortunately it is not feasible to overcome all the current challenges described in the next section solely with the help of the ISF funding. This programme seeks to address these to the maximum extent possible while also leaving a degree of flexibility to be able to respond to future events and changing priorities. The actions to be financed will depend on the resources available and priorities at the time. The precise actions and the source of financing will be agreed during the implementation of the programme in accordance with national procedures. The programme design and strategy take into account the administrative capacity and governance rules for efficiency and wherever possible simplification measures will be implemented to reduce the administrative burden and enhanced efficiency, effectiveness and economy.

2.1. Specific objective: 1. Exchange of information

2.1.1. Description of the specific objective

Creating and modernising different secure information systems and e-solutions is a key when ensuring high level of security. As digitalisation has been one of Estonian flagships for years, it has resulted in a shortage of funding and experienced developers in the market. At the same time, new requirements for the Member States to ensure the full and uniform implementation of the Union acquis on security supported information exchange and in relation to Europol data must be met. Gaps in the EU information architecture must also be addressed with appropriate tools. Estonia has successfully set up and adapted national IT systems to ensure the effective connection to security relevant Union information systems and this is an on-going effort. Estonia plans to use the ISF funding mainly for setting up, adapting and maintaining ICT systems contributing to the objectives of the Fund. It is also necessary to guarantee training of the use of the systems. The current strategy is that the potential activities considered under this specific objective will mostly focus on the implementation measure (d) (supporting relevant national measures) from Annex II of the ISF regulation. Implementation measure (a) is also a priority - ensuring the uniform application of the Union acquis on security by supporting the exchange of relevant information. If the need arises, implementing measures (b) and (c) may also be considered at later stage of implementation. There are no specific actions planned at the time of programming. The planned addressing of the implementation measures in Annex II and examples of actions are as follows. (a) Ensuring the uniform application of the Union acquis on security by supporting the exchange of relevant information for example via Prüm, EU PNR and SIS, including through the implementation of recommendations from quality control and evaluation mechanisms such as the Schengen evaluation mechanism and other quality control and evaluation mechanisms. The current situation concerning the application of the relevant legislation (PNR, SIS, PRÜM) is described in Section 1. One of the priorities is to keep ensuring further developments and maintenance of the PNR. The PNR database has been developed in the frame of the ISF 2014-2020 programme but continuous funding is essential to build on the results of this project. Several study visits are planned in addition to further developments to ensure the reliability of the system and guarantee the compliance with the requirements of the PNR directive and API Regulation (EU) 2025/13. PNR database interacts with the Europol Information System. The new functionalities in SIS should be completed by 2022. Should there be any changes in the timeline or new agreements on SIS in the future; ISF funding may be considered for this. In addition, the proposed measures to establish the interoperability between EU large-scale information systems need to be continuously addressed. Estonia plans to use the BMVI programme for this purpose. However, should the need arise, developments necessary to meet the objectives of the ISF regulation may also be considered from this programme. The capacity to implement the Regulation on automated data exchange for police cooperation (Prüm II) will be enhanced. An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex III include:

• Setting up, adapting and maintaining ICT systems that contribute to the achievement of the ISF objectives, training on the use of such systems, improving the interoperability components and data quality of the systems;

• financing of equipment; • training for staff and experts in relevant law enforcement and judicial authorities and

EN 10 EN

administrative agencies; • financing the cost of staff involved in the actions that are supported by the Fund or actions that are

supported by the Fund or actions requiring involvement of staff for technical or security-related reasons.

Other actions within the scope of ISF may be considered during the implementation of the programme, depending on the actual needs and available resources. An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex IV include:

• Projects which aim to improve the interoperability of EU information systems and national ICT systems, insofar as provided for by Union or Member State law.

(d) Supporting relevant national measures including the interconnection of security-relevant national databases and their connection to Union databases when foreseen in relevant legal bases, if relevant to implement the specific objectives set out in Article 3(2)(a). The main focus of this programme shall be on supporting the relevant national measures. There are several challenges to better collect, analyse and share information within and between the relevant competent authorities. It is important that all offenses are dealt with as expeditiously as possible and that the competent authorities have legitimate access to the necessary national and international databases. To this end, the relevant (national) information systems and databases and their interoperability need to be developed, taking into account information security measures and ensuring effective supervision and enforcement. There are still areas in Estonia where data exchange is not digital and much work is done manually. The criminal proceedings are not fully digitised which hinders the speed of expertise and does not provide the maximum effective life cycle of evidence. The interaction between the police investigator and the forensic scientist concerning a specific case file still needs to be improved with the use of technology. There is a need for new nationwide monitoring application (e.g. people, vehicles, objects), connected to the SIS and ensuring the fulfilment of international obligations in the fight against terrorism and serious and covert crimes (e.g. cybercrime, money laundering, sexual offenses against children, etc.). Estonia plans to invest both structural funds and national budget into this area; ISF funding is also considered.

There is a shortage of resources for the development of digital forensics in Estonia. As crimes move more to the Internet and digitalisation increases, the capacity of the relevant authorities should be increased to cope with the volume of work. There are shortcomings in ICT tools and sector-specific training, which are often funded on a one-off basis, leading to a lack of systemic and sustainable capacity. There is a need for automated solutions for the operative performance of works.

The surveillance capacity, incl. data gathering during surveillance activities, and relevant information exchange within and by the criminal police needs to be improved, incl. the upgrading of the national systems and purchasing relevant (ICT) equipment. The operational surveillance procedure tool used by the Estonian law enforcement authorities needs to be updated. It is necessary to develop a new surveillance module to conduct surveillance and tactical analysis as a whole in a single environment with the possibility of performing various queries (incl. to relevant EU information systems) and exchanging information. The surveillance system will be connected with the Europol Information System (EIS) and the SIS.

Money laundering, funding most of the serious and organised crime, is one of the main drivers in the field. To enhance and facilitate the accountability of corporate service providers, financial institutions and virtual currency service providers to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, an appropriate portal for reporting needs to be introduced.

EN 11 EN

Estonia outsourced a development of risk assessment methodology to put together a new risk assessment for money laundering and terrorist financing in Estonia. Several working groups started in autumn 2019 and the national risk assessment was approved in April 2021. According to the Schengen evaluation recommendation, the Police and Border Guard Board needs to introduce an automated data loader to the Europol Information System. Developing capacities of relevant authorities to deal with open source intelligence is a priority that needs funding and different sources, incl. the ISF are considered for this purpose.

An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex III include: • setting up, adapting and maintaining ICT systems that contribute to the achievement of the ISF

objectives, training on the use of such systems, improving the interoperability components and data quality of the systems;

• financing of equipment; • financing the cost of staff involved in the actions that are supported by the Fund or actions that are

supported by the Fund or actions requiring involvement of staff for technical or security-related reasons.

Other actions within the scope of ISF may be considered during the implementation of the programme, depending on the actual needs and available resources. An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex IV include:

• projects which aim to improve the interoperability of EU information systems and national ICT systems, insofar as provided for by Union or Member State law.

Operating support: Estonia plans to use operating support to better contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the ISF programme. The use of operating support enables to maintain capabilities which are crucial to the Union as a whole. It is necessary to increase the staffing of the national PIU within the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board (PBGB). The PIU analyses passenger lists, processes post-hit information 24/7 and exchanges information with their counterparts. Recruiting additional officials to the PIU is vital to ensure the required level of data exchange. There is a consistent need to ensure the maintenance of the PNR system (e.g. security and software upgrades, infrastructure costs - costs required to maintain the servers, licenses, disk space, etc.) In the field of digital forensics the yearly costs of special software (upgrades, fees, licences) must be guaranteed to deal with the identification, collection, handling and storage of digital evidence. In the field of cybercrime and OSINT, the yearly maintenance costs of special software and network equipment must be covered to increase and maintain the capacity of the police to systematically manage, analyze and extract incoming information.

For all the mentioned areas, the final beneficiary is the PBGB which is by the statute responsible for security and public order in the state and the investigation and prevention of offences. Depending on national arrangements, funding related to the maintenance of ICT systems may be directed to the IT and Development Centre, Ministry of the Interior which by the statute is responsible for providing necessary ICT services to the Ministry and its area of government.

The possibility of financing other activities is not ruled out. Financial instruments: n/a.

2.1. Specific objective: 2. Cross-border cooperation

2.1.1. Description of the specific objective

Estonia is active both in bilateral and multilateral cross-border (operational) cooperation at Union level to combat the important serious and organised crime threats to the EU. There is tight cooperation in operational matters between the Estonian Criminal Police and their counterparts in neighbouring countries in the area of drug trafficking. Several Joint Investigation teams have been formed. In addition to competent authorities within and Between Member States, cooperation with international organisations (Europol, Interpol, CEPOL, EMCDDA, UNODC, DEA, etc.) needs to be enhanced. Both the Estonian police and customs authority have placed their Liaison Officers at Europol to facilitate day-to-day information exchange. Trainings, exercises, mutual learning and specialised exchange programmes are useful tools for this purpose. Focus must be on the current trends – notably technological developments and the spread of synthetic opioids, incl. fentanyls. It is crucial to respond better to a globalised drug market by strengthening partnerships between Member States’ authorities and other relevant partners, incl. third countries, where relevant. In the fight against terrorism, the Estonian law enforcement agencies are supported by international cooperation within the EU, the Counter Terrorism Group CTG, and the European Counter Terrorism Centre at Europol, information exchange at Interpol, counter-terrorism cooperation with UN, NATO, Council of Europe, OSCE and bilateral relations with partner countries. Coordination and cooperation of law enforcement authorities and other competent authorities dealing with organised crime is vital. In the framework of the EU Policy Cycle for organised and serious international crime: EMPACT 2022+, Estonia is planning to Estonia participate in the operational action plans for the following areas: excise fraud, Missing Trader Intra Community (MTIC) fraud, new psychoactive substances and synthetic drugs, irregular migration, attacks against information systems (cybercrime), sexual exploitation of children (cybercrime), fraud with non-cash means of payment (cybercrime), firearms smuggling, environmental crime and organised property crime. It is important for Estonia to emphasise the enhancement of EU inter-agency security cooperation (joint activities, information sharing, etc.). Estonia itself has contributed to this when the first Europol- FRONTEX Management Board joint meeting was organised under the auspices of the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the EU and the cooperation principles and activities were agreed. Under this specific objective Estonia plans to use the ISF funding mainly for increasing coordination and improving inter-agency cooperation of competent authorities at national and Union level and with third countries, where relevant.

The current strategy is that the potential activities of this specific objective will form the most modest part of the programme. The planned focus of this specific objective is to contribute to implementing measures (a): concerning the increased law enforcement operations between Member States, with special emphasis on operational cooperation mechanisms in the context of EMPACT (b) and (c): improving inter-agency cooperation at Union level between Member States, and the relevant Union bodies, offices and agencies as well as at national level among the national authorities; also to increase coordination and cooperation of law enforcement and other competent authorities within and between Member States.

The minimum percentage set for this SO is not reached. This decision stems from the nature and amount of cross-border (joint) operations which cannot be forecast. These operations arise on a rolling basis in each field and Estonia continues to finance these from the state budget when the need occurs or use specially earmarked funds (e.g. funding provided by the Commission). Operational cooperation is of utmost importance and Estonia has and will continue actively participate both in bilateral and multilateral cross-border (operational) cooperation as described in the beginning of this Section. Moreover, there are several actions planned under the SO3 which have a broader purpose and therefore also contribute to the objectives of the SO2 (e.g. study visits and enhancing cooperation in the field of preventing and tackling

EN 16 EN

corruption, international cooperation in preventing and combating cybercrime).

The current strategy takes into account the country's actual needs and challenges. While using additionally the state budget and other relevant funding possibilities, allocating resources for this specific objective below the level stipulated in the ISF regulation does not jeopardise the achievement of the objective. The planned addressing of the implementation measures in Annex II and examples of actions are as follows. (a) Increasing the number of law enforcement operations involving two or more Member States, including, where appropriate, operations involving other relevant actors, in particular through facilitating and improving the use of joint investigation teams, joint patrols, hot pursuits, discreet surveillance and other operational cooperation mechanisms in the context of the EU policy cycle, with special emphasis on cross-border operations. To reduce excise criminality and excise tax gap in the Baltic region and EU overall, the efficiency and capabilities of the relevant authorities in fight against shadow economy (illegal tobacco, fuel, alcohol) is planned to be increased with the support of ISF. In cooperation with Spain, several EU member states and third countries (incl. Norway, UK, USA), Frontex and Europol, an European Operational Team (EOT) will be established in the Spanish region ‘Costa del Sol’, to develop and implement a joint investigative and operational strategy against the main criminal organisations. An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex III include:

• providing support to thematic or cross-border networks of specialised national units and national contact points to improve mutual confidence, the exchange and dissemination of know-how, information, experience and best practices, the pooling of resources and expertise in joint centres of excellence;

• education and training for staff and experts in relevant law enforcement authorities and administrative agencies;

• financing of equipment. Other actions within the scope of ISF may be considered during the implementation of the programme, depending on the actual needs and available resources. An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex IV include: - Projects which aim to fight the most important threats posed by serious and organised crime, in the framework of EU policy cycle/EMPACT operational actions. (b) Increasing coordination and cooperation of competent authorities within and between Member States and with other relevant actors, for example through networks of specialised national units, Union networks and cooperation structures, Union centres. Pursuant to Council Implementing Decision No. 10388/19, in the framework of the Schengen evaluation of Estonian police co-operation, a recommendation has been made that Estonia should develop an interactive and user-friendly e-learning solution on international police cooperation based on practical situations and cases. This recommendation is planned to be addressed with the support of the ISF. In 2019, the Estonian Social Insurance Board identified and assisted 67 victims or alleged victims of trafficking in human beings. This is a significant increase compared to 2018 when 12 (alleged) victims were identified. Investigative bodies and victim support organisations continuously carry out international cooperation in criminal matters and in cases with suspicion of trafficking in human beings. Cooperation is important to prevent exposure to human trafficking in host countries and to break up the organised crime groups mediating prostitutes and illegal labour force to reduce trafficking problems in Estonia. Therefore, one of the priorities for Estonia is operational level cooperation with third counties, establishing and maintaining reliable contacts, providing training and introducing monitoring methods developed by the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board and if necessary setting up JITs.

An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex III include: • providing support to thematic or cross-border networks of specialised national units and national

contact points to improve mutual confidence, the exchange and dissemination of know-how, information, experience and best practices, the pooling of resources and expertise in joint centres of excellence;

• education and training for staff and experts in relevant law enforcement authorities and administrative agencies.

Other actions within the scope of ISF may be considered during the implementation of the programme, depending on the actual needs and available resources. (c) Improving inter-agency cooperation at Union level between the Member States, and between Member States, and relevant Union bodies, offices and agencies as well as at national level among the competent authorities in each Member State.

It is essential to explore ways to improve the cross-border police and customs cooperation with the involvement of relevant EU bodies (e.g. Europol, EUROJUST). Criminal investigation officers from Estonian customs and police authorities need to be better prepared and informed to prevent and combat all forms of serious and international crime (e.g. drugs, trafficking in human beings, firearms trafficking, euro counterfeiting, money laundering). The secondment of officers for traineeships to the Estonian Liaison Office of Europol is a useful way to promote and improve the effectiveness of transnational operational cooperation (e.g. the use of Joint Investigation teams’ capabilities, Joint Analyst Teams (JAT), Controlled Delivery (CD), and other possibilities offered by Europol, for example the Analysis Work Files and SIENA network), cooperation with Europol Counter Terrorism Centre and its units, incl. CBRN, demining and special tactics.

Estonian customs authorities would also benefit from closer operational cooperation with other EU customs administrations for better gathering and analysing information; to identify targets of organised crime; and gathering evidence in criminal proceedings. Study visits may be organised to serve this purpose.

Enhancing preparedness, early warning and response to threats and crisis requires greater cooperation between the authorities involved in CBRNe events, incl. the need to develop international cooperation under the RescEU, EU CBRNe Action Plan and threat assessments on CBRNe and terrorism. Trainings, guidelines, regulations, exercises, case studies, joint investigation teams, testings, participation in seminars and conferences on a national level and abroad contribute to this end.

It is also necessary to enhance inter-agency cooperation between first responders in the rescue services on how to safely react to calls concerning security incidents. This is an area which goes beyond the basic training of rescue services but is essential when co-responding with the police services. The knowledge and best practices of partners from other Member States is similarly crucial.

An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex III include: • actions that improve resilience as regard emerging threats, including chemical, biological,

radiological and nuclear threats; • providing support to thematic or cross-border networks of specialised national units and national

contact points to improve mutual confidence, the exchange and dissemination of know-how, information, experience and best practices, the pooling of resources and expertise in joint centres of excellence;

EN 18 EN

• education and training for staff and experts in relevant law enforcement authorities and administrative agencies.

Other actions within the scope of ISF may be considered during the implementation of the programme, depending on the actual needs and available resources. Operating support: The current strategy does not foresee using the operating support under this specific objective. However, when the need occurs, operating support may be considered.

2.1. Specific objective: 3. Preventing and combating crime

2.1.1. Description of the specific objective

When aiming to strengthen the capabilities of the national authorities in relation to combatting and preventing crime, having motivated, skilled and informed people is the key. Training, shared knowledge and awareness raising are crucial in this respect. On the other hand, the need for modern technology, incl. IT tools, and equipment cannot be overlooked.

The focus of this specific objective is planned to be on the implementing measures (a) increasing the law enforcement training, exercises and mutual learning; and (d) acquiring relevant equipment to increase preparedness, resilience and adequate response to security threats. The potential activities will also address the implementing measures (b) and (c).

If the need arises, implementing measure (e) may also be considered at later stage of implementation.

The planned addressing of the implementation measures in Annex II and examples of actions are as follows. (a) Increasing training, exercises and mutual learning, specialised exchange programmes and sharing of best practice in and between Member States’ competent authorities, including at local level, and with third countries and other relevant actors. There is constant need for systematic training in different areas. Training of law enforcement officers has been an important part in the 2014-2020 ISFP programme and this is also a priority in 2021-2027 period. Estonia has also benefited greatly from CEPOL trainings as different authorities have taken part in CEPOL residential activities, webinars, online-trainings, workshops and exchange programs. However, there is also a need for more specific trainings which CEPOL does not offer. Some specific trainings are planned to be financed with the ISF support. The national CEPOL unit was consulted on the design of training activities in the ISF programme to avoid overlaps. The principal rationale for including specific training actions in the programme is that CEPOL generally organizes basic or intermediate level trainings, there is less focus on more specific topics relevant for the advanced level specialists in the narrower fields. In addition, the CEPOL trainings and study visits are for limited numbers of participants per Member State and this is not always sufficient, especially for highly specialised units. In any event, all training activities will be coordinated with CEPOL. Effective fight against cybercrime requires targeted action and is one of the priorities in the ISF programme. Various data thefts and data leaks, ransomware claims and online payment fraud have become commonplace problems in Estonia. Citizens, businesses and public authorities need to be aware of the dangers of ICT and be willing and able to protect themselves. Investigation of cybercrime requires very specific knowledge and skills on how to use digital evidence. The relevant law enforcement authorities need to be sufficiently staffed, trained and equipped to collect and analyse information at the necessary level and ensure the sustainability of activities. In order to alleviate these shortcomings, it is planned to finance activities under both measure (a) and measure (d) – trainings and study visits plus necessary technology and equipment.

Awareness raising on anti-corruption activities have become more successful over the years. Corruption offences registered in Estonia: 291 offences in 2017; 376 offences in 2018 and 72 offences in 2019. Detection of high-profile corruption cases continues to be a priority. As corruption is increasingly hidden in Estonia, there is a need for specialisation and systemic collection and analysis of information, which can lead to better detection and prosecution of such crimes. Investigating corruption and other covert crimes, requires the provision of tools and professional skills obtained through training, exchange of best practice with external partners, large-scale capture of electronic information and analysis of evidence.

EN 25 EN

Emphasis is also on raising awareness and conducting studies in the field for better policy decisions.

The likelihood of CBRN incidents has been risen, therefore preparedness for CBRN incidents needs more attention, including enhancing relevant know-how and skills in this field.

An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex III include: • education and training for staff and experts in relevant law enforcement authorities and judicial

authorities and administrative agencies, taking into account operational needs and risks analyses, in co-operation with CEPOL and, when applicable, the European Judicial Training Network;

• actions that improve resilience as regards emerging threats, including hybrid threats and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats;

• providing support to thematic or cross-border networks of specialised national units and national contact points to improve mutual confidence, the exchange and dissemination of know-how, information, experience and best practices, the pooling of resources and expertise in joint centres of excellence;

• financing the cost of staff involved in the actions that are supported by the Fund or actions that are supported by the Fund or actions requiring involvement of staff for technical or security-related reasons.

Other actions within the scope of ISF may be considered during the implementation of the programme, depending on the actual needs and available resources. An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex IV include:

• Projects which aim to prevent and fight cybercrime, in particular child sexual exploitation online, and crimes where the internet is the primary platform for evidence collection.

1. Exploiting synergies by pooling resources and knowledge and sharing best practices among Member States and other relevant actors, including civil society through, for instance, the creation of joint centres of excellence, the development of joint risk assessments, or common operational support centres for jointly conducted operations.

Not all extremism leads to violence, but it is important for society, especially parents, teachers, youth workers and officials, to set an example, and intervene to ensure security on both sides. It is important to train primary officials and professionals to recognize the first signs of radicalisation and to be able to assess risks and act accordingly in a sensitive way while respecting the fundamental rights of individuals. More than 2000 first level practitioners have been trained in the past under the leadership of the Estonian Ministry of the Interior and the Academy of Security Sciences. In the future, a more systematic approach to training is planned. It is necessary to continue developing the expertise of various professionals, also with the support of international networks such as RAN and ESCN, and to become familiar with practices in partner countries.

To make full use of the potential of the Estonian Academy of Security Sciences (which is also the CEPOL National Unit in Estonia), it could be developed into a center of excellence for internal security (e.g in the domains of anti-radicalisation and counter-terrorism, fight against organised crime and cybercrimes; the use of AI). The Center would support planning and strategic development in the field through research, analysis and training, in coordination with CEPOL.

An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex III include: • education and training for staff and experts in relevant law enforcement authorities and judicial

EN 26 EN

authorities and administrative agencies, taking into account operational needs and risks analyses, in co-operation with CEPOL and , when applicable, the European Judicial Training Network;

• providing support to thematic or cross-border networks of specialised national units and national contact points to improve mutual confidence, the exchange and dissemination of know-how, information, experience and best practices, the pooling of resources and expertise in joint centres of excellence.

Other actions within the scope of ISF may be considered during the implementation of the programme, depending on the actual needs and available resources. An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex IV include: - projects which aim to prevent and counter radicalisation.

1. Promoting and developing measures, safeguards, mechanisms and best practices for the early identification, protection and support of witnesses, whistle-blowers and victims of crime and to develop partnerships between public authorities and other relevant actors to this effect.

The biggest challenge in Estonia in the fight against trafficking in human beings is the lack of funding of prevention activities. Prevention and awareness-raising activities and training are provided on a small scale and with small repetition interval. Joint trainings for officials dealing with trafficking in human beings are necessary to raise the competence and improve the implementation of EU acquis. There is a need for greater awareness of third-country nationals entering Estonia and education of young people at school. Also the relevant training for law enforcement authorities. According to the data from the Labour Inspectorate and the Social Insurance Board, the number of labour disputes with foreigners is increasing and the number of foreigners seeking help from the anti-trafficking hotline is increasing. Educational tools have been produced for schools (supported by the ISF 2014-2020 project), but to facilitate their use, the training scope needs to be widened to include trainers going to schools to adequately change young people's attitudes and future behaviors to prevent trafficking. Also, the competence and skills of officials, volunteers and other notifiers involved in the fight against trafficking in human beings will be increased on state and local level in order to increase the level of identification of possible victims overall in Estonia. It is necessary to carry out information campaigns, to work closely with communication companies and education institutions to prevent the sexual abuse of children. The idea is to use different expertise and activities for cross-cutting prevention. The purpose is to explore how prevention opportunities can include different parties in new and innovating ways. There is also a need to raise the awareness (with appropriate long-lasting material and campaigns being worked out) and skills (special trainings in Europe and in Estonia) of adults who come into contact with young people to spot victims of abuse and to provide appropriate assistance (such as police officers, child protection officers, teachers, doctors as well as parents). We will offer special trainings to child hotline workers to give appropriate counselling in case of child sexual abuse cases online. The trainings will take into account the Council Conclusions on combatting the sexual abuse of children (12862/19). Raising the capability to identify victims would lead to better safeguarding of children and apprehend offenders in early stages of the activities. The third line of activities is to carry out research and evaluation of programs/services preventing the sexual abuse of children in Estonia. An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex III include:

• Actions that improve resilience as regards emerging threats, including trafficking via online channels;

• education and training for staff and experts in relevant law enforcement authorities and judicial authorities and administrative agencies, taking into account operational needs and risks analyses, in co-operation with CEPOL and, when applicable, the European Judicial Training Network;

EN 27 EN

• providing support to thematic or cross-border networks of specialised national units and national contact points to improve mutual confidence, the exchange and dissemination of know-how, information, experience and best practices, the pooling of resources and expertise in joint centres of excellence.

Other actions within the scope of ISF may be considered during the implementation of the programme, depending on the actual needs and available resources. An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex IV include:

• Projects which aim to prevent and fight cybercrime, in particular child sexual exploitation online, and crimes where the internet is the primary platform for evidence collection.

1. Acquiring relevant equipment and setting up or upgrading specialised training facilities and other essential security relevant infrastructure to increase preparedness, resilience, public awareness and adequate response to security threats.

Preparedness for CBRNe and HAZMAT incidents need more attention, given the changed nature of threats in Europe. It is estimated that over half a million World War II explosives are still in the Estonian soil - the accessibility of these explosive substances is an essential internal security problem in Estonia and carries high risk in terms of possible terrorism or lone offenders. Illegal e-commerce, incl. the import of dangerous substances, are also increasing the likelihood of CBRNe incidents. Relevant know-how and skills, technical ability, the availability of (personal protective) equipment, and specific vehicles (incl. in the area of explosive ordnance disposal) are also crucial. It is closely related to protection of citizens and infrastructure, crisis management and strategic communication. There were many similar actions carried out from 2014-2020 ISF programme (e.g purchasing bomb robots and bomb suits) which have had a major positive impact in the field.

ISF 2014-2020 supported the updating of the system of early warning in case of danger of radiation (caused by man-made crisis, e.g. a dirty bomb). It is planned to further upgrade this system and include new functionalities like the analysis of radioactive noble gases.

One area where Estonia plans to contribute more in the near future is the wider and more systematic use of drones in the fight against crime. This would considerably improve the capacity to detect and react to security incidents and contributes to the protection of people and public spaces. Professional capacity building in this area will allow the police to react more effectively to security incidents and detect threats in public space. It also supports the police in enhancing cooperation with European Union law enforcement agencies in the fight against serious and organized crime.

Measures for physical protection of security relevant infrastructure and/or ensuring their resilience during crisis are crucial. The continuity of the activities of the Police and Border Guard Board, the Rescue Board or other institutions providing essential services in crisis situations must be ensured. It is also important to enhance the forensic capacity to provide forensic expertise.

An indicative list of actions in connection with Annex III include: • actions that improve resilience as regard emerging threats, including chemical, biological,

radiological and nuclear threats; • financing of equipment and communication systems.

Other actions within the scope of ISF may be considered during the implementation of the programme, depending on the needs and available resources.

Operating support: Estonia plans to use operating support to better contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the ISF programme. The use of operating support enables to maintain capabilities which are crucial to the Union as a whole. There is a need to increase the number of staff in the Central Criminal Police Cybercrime Bureau to improve the capacity to collect and analyse the information. Staff costs will be covered by using the operating support. The final beneficiary is the Police and Border Guard Board which is by the statute responsible for security and public order in the state and the investigation and prevention of offences.

Technical assistance is the precondition that sufficient means and resources are available to achieve the objectives and indicators set in the ISFprogramme. TA is used for

• Preparation, implementation, monitoring and control • Capacity building • Evaluation and studies, data collection • Information and communication

Preparation, implementation, monitoring and control TA is used by the competent officials of Responsible Authority (RA) and Audit Authority (AA). In the Ministry of the Interior there are approximately 10 RA officials responsible for implementation of HOME funds and 2 AA auditors. The TA is used for the RA and AA personnel costs, training, participation in workshops and meetings, etc.

Capacity building Consultation and sharing of best practices are key factors in successful implementation so that applicants and beneficiaries have the ability to prepare and implement projects. Therefore, the RA also ensures continuous training, counselling and guidance of applicants and beneficiaries funded by the TA. To reduce the burden on applicants and beneficiaries, the TA is used for novel IT solutions of application, reporting and reimbursement. The SFOS information system will be introduced to simplify the technical procedures, reduce the workload of applicants, beneficiaries and administration, and thus contribute more to substantive activities. The principle of single entry is used as far as possible for electronic applications. In addition, the information system enables the RA to monitor the achievement of results, the progress of commitments and disbursements, the volumes and results of audits, administrative, financial and on-the- spot controls, irregularities and recoveries.

Evaluation and studies, data collection It is important to ensure that objectives are met in time and resources are used efficiently. Therefore two evaluations are foreseen: the mid-term evaluation in 2024 and final evaluation in 2030. If needed, resources could be used for studies and data collection.

Information and communication The TA is also used for communication and publication activities (see p 7.)

6. Partnership Reference: point (h) of Article 22(3) CPR

The preparation of the ISF programme is based on the principle of transparency. All relevant stakeholders were given an opportunity to contribute to resolving Estonia's current and future challenges in implementing internal security policy. In Estonia, the strategic planning of the national needs and their financing is centralized. There is no separate process (incl. involvement of partners and stakeholders) for programming the EU funds. The planning is source-neutral; the mapping of important strategic goals is done in the process of developing national strategies. The ISF programme for 2021-2027 has planned hand in hand with preparing the long-term national umbrella strategy "Estonia 2035" and the “Internal Security Development Plan”. An overview of compiling the strategies is found on following websites: https://www.riigikantselei.ee/et/Eesti2035 and https://www.siseministeerium.ee/et/STAK2030. The process started in the spring of 2018. At the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019, consultations with other ministries and umbrella organizations took place. Additionally, discussions were held in all counties. County Security Councils, other institutions related to internal security in the county, interest groups and representatives of civil society organizations, city and rural municipality leaders, and the county development centers were invited to the discussions. In total, more than 100 stakeholders contributed to preparing the long-term strategy. The discussions were summarized and used in the preparation of the “Internal Security Development Plan 2020–2030”. The development plan was submitted for public consultation through the dedicated web platform. The same system was used to get an approval from all ministries and the Government Office, and an opinion of the Association of Estonian Cities and Municipalities. The financing for meeting the goals set in strategies are decided during the annual discussions of national budget, which quarantees synergy with national and other resources and enables to avoid double financing. The implementation of the Internal Security Development Plan is monitored by the sectoral committee which consists of representatives from relevant authorities, intermediate bodies and partners. There is a common committee to monitor the implementation of the BMVI, ISF and AMIF. This monitoring committee consists of the same parties which are members of the sectoral committees of the Internal Security Decelopment Plan. In additon, bodies responsible for promoting social inclusion, fundamental rights, rights of persons with disabilities, gender equality and non-discrimination are involved.

7. Communication and visibility Reference: point (j) of Article 22(3) CPR

The communication of EU funds aims to ensure target group awareness of EU support through comprehensive, open and relevant communication.

A single website portal providing access to all programmes covered by CPR will be established by the State Shared Service Centre (SSSC). The website portal will be made available in English and Russian as well, since surveys show that the Russian-speaking population is less aware of support measures.

The Ministry of the Interior ensures the continuation of dedicated website for the HOME funds covering the programmes’ objectives, activities, available fundidng opportunities and achievements. Estonia will ensures transparency on the implementation of the national programme and publishes a list of actions supported by each programme.

Both the single website portal as well as HOME funds website are designed and constructed to comply with the WCAG 2.0 AA Accessibility Guidelines. This means that certain technical tools and content creation principles have been used to help consumers with visual, hearing, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities use the content of the website.

A Facebook page is used to communicate HOME funds’ open calls for proposals and achievements of projects.

The communication coordinator in the SSSC will lead the national communication network to ensure central visibility, transparency and communication acitivities. Furthermore, it will hold a yearly national Europe Day in association with the European Commission Representation in Estonia.

A dedicated HOME funds communication officer is appointed within the Ministry of the Interior.

Technical Assistance is used for communication activities.

Indicators: 1. Audio storytelling through five (5) podcasts to rise awareness of the projects financed from the HOME funds during the new period. Podcasts will be part of the regular podcasts published by the Ministry of the Interior. 2. At least four (4) major information activities during the new period to present the achievements for the target audience. 3. At least four (4) digital media content created, including visual content such as illustrations and video materials to introduce the HOME funds in Estonia. 4.

Ensuring the protection of the rights of people with disabilities is divided between different strategies. The strategy for the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities is set out in the "Welfare Development Plan 2023–2030". The challenges, policies and relevant indicators facing the target group are described in the programmes of the same strategy. The requirements of the UN CRPD are also covered by the strategy "Estonia 2035". "Welfare Development Plan 2023-2030" covers the requirements of the UN CRPD in its entirety. Statistics Estonia collects statistics on the situation of disabled people through the Estonian Social Survey, the Estonian Labor Force Survey, the Working Life Survey and the Household Budget Survey and the corresponding studies on health, ageing and pension. The Ministry of Social Affairs publishes regular social welfare statistics and, if necessary, conducts surveys.

For example, in the "Welfare programme 2023-2030” the indicator is the proportion of people with disabilities of working age who receive public care or non-institutional services supporting independent living at home and institutional care around the clock. The Ministry of Social Affairs collects data on recipients of services from service providers and local authorities on an annual basis. The social security programme monitors the following indicators: The at-risk-of-poverty rate for persons with disabilities and the impact of disability benefits on reducing the at-risk-of-poverty rate for persons with disabilities (aged 18-64).

One of the tasks of the Statistical Office’s work programme is the collection of statistical data on the situation in the field of persons with disabilities. Therefore, where possible, data collected from individuals shall be linked to data on persons with disabilities and, where possible (depending on the sample size of the survey), the data will be published in the Statistical Office’s database. Dashboard with indicators of the Welfare Development Plan.

Information on people with disabilities is collected by the Social Insurance Board, which is responsible for determining the disability of children, people of working age and retired people. The Social Insurance Board has data on the severity, type and diagnosis of the disability.

The policy strategy for the protection of the rights of people with disabilities is set out in the “Wellbeing Development Plan 2023–2030”. The challenges of the target group, policy measures and relevant indicators are described in the programmes of the same development plan. The umbrella strategy “Estonia 2035” also covers requirements of the UNCRPD.

Statistics on the situation of people with disabilities are collected by Statistics Estonia through the Estonian Social Survey, the Estonian Labor Force Survey, the Working Life Survey and the Household Budget Survey, as well as relevant health, ageing and pension surveys. The Ministry of Social Affairs publishes regular social welfare statistics and, where necessary, conducts specific surveys.

The Ministry of Social Affairs has also carried out specific studies focusing on families with a disabled child or adults with disabilities. These studies have been carried out to gather information on the use of different services, problems encountered, etc.

The promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities in line with the principles of the Convention is integrated into a number of development plans and strategies e.g. the Estonia 2035 Strategy, the “Public Health Development Plan 2020–2030”.

The challenges faced by the target group and the treatment of policy instruments are explicitly described in the sub-objective 3 of the Welfare programme, which focuses directly on improving access to and quality of social services, developing services that involve people in society and protecting fundamental rights. The programme also includes appropriate indicators which are regularly monitored.

On 13 June 2018, the Estonian Parliament adopted the Act supplementing the Chancellor of Justice Act (https://www.riigiteataja.ee/akt/103072018014), the purpose of which was to define the institution of the Chancellor of Justice within the framework of the tasks referred to in Article 33(2) of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to promote, protect and monitor the implementation of the Convention. The amendment (Paragraph 1(10)) entered into force on 1 January 2019. The Chancellor of Justice is an independent official who checks the conformity of legislation with the Constitution of the Republic of Estonia and the laws of the Republic of Estonia. Its tasks include, for example, monitoring the conformity of legislation with international treaties and resolving discrimination disputes between private parties arising under the Constitution and other laws. In recent years, the Office of the Chancellor of Justice has stepped up its oversight of institutions where persons with disabilities may be deprived of their freedom, in particular in specialized care homes and psychiatric clinics.

The current national framework covers the implementation of the UNCRPD in its entirety. Estonia’s approach is to integrate the UNCRPD implementation into its national legislation, strategies and action plans. Welfare Development Plan 2023-2030 as well covers the UNCRPD in its entirety. Also the Estonia 2035 plan, what is at the same time a UN Agenda 2030 tool, is backing up UNCRPD requirements, having been drafted with open consultation with stakeholders, including the Estonian network of DPO-s.

To be certain that the UN CRPD is covered in its entirety the verification was made, a mapping of the coverage of requirements of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in the Constitution and national law and a checklist has been developed as part of the Guide for drafting the conditions for support. The checklist gives the overview of all the articles, their main content and indicates where more thorough analysis is required, same approach as with the articles of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Accessibility within the meaning of Article 9 of the UN CRPD is the strategic objective and fundamental principle of the national long-term development strategy "Estonia 2035"– “the living environment is secure and public space planning gives priority to solutions that promote safe and health-friendly behaviors that ensures accessibility.” These objectives act as principles at horizontal level within the meaning of Article 9 of the regulation (EU) 2021/1060 and are therefore covered throughout the implementation process. According to § 48 (1) – (3) of the Act on the Implementation of the Cohesion and Internal

Security Policy Funds 2021-2027, the Managing Authority (the Ministry of the Interior)

centrally coordinates and monitors how the support enables to maintain the base principles

of the strategy "Estonia 2035" (including the values of the Charter) and contributing to the achievement of goals.

The Equality Competence Centre in the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications verifies that during the implementation of the funds the UN CRPD requirements are followed. The Equality Competence Centre, as an advisory and training unit, advises the Managing Authority on how to take into account accessibility requirements and equal opportunities aspects for persons with disabilities in programmes and projects and evaluates compliance with these requirements when the conditions for support are drafted.

To develop a comprehensive accessibility policy, the Accessibility Task Force was established by the Government of the Republic in 2019. Its policy recommendations are duly followed through. The accessibility agenda has been strengthened. Monitoring of the accessibility of the built environment, access to information, access to goods and services is in addition to the Competence Centre a task for the Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority.

2. Accessibility is a strategic goal and fundamental principle of "Estonia 2035" within the meaning of Article 9 of the UNCRPD. In order to develop a comprehensive accessibility policy, the Government established an accessibility task force in 2019.The Equality Competence Centre provides advice to MA and beneficiaries on accessibility and equal opportunities and approves conditions of giving support and monitors the fulfillment of UNCRPD requirements.

In 2018, the regulations “Requirements for buildings arising from the special needs of people with disabilities” and “Requirements for living space” entered into force.

Since 1 January 2019, the Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority (CPTRA) monitors the implementation of respective legislation on accessibility of the physical environment and the EU Accessibility Directive (EU) 2019/882.

Accessibility policy, legislation and standards are properly reflected in the preparation and implementation of the programmes, being in compliance with the UN CRPD, anti- discrimination law on the grounds of disability as this is required by the legislation.

While drafting the conditions for granting the support the Ministry of the Interior in cooperation with relevant other ministries shall make an analysis on how it can contribute to maintaining the base principles of the strategy “Estonia 2035” including accessibility and contribute to the objectives set. The analysis includes going through the checklist with the articles of the CRPD and the result of the self-assessment shall be part of the consultation with the Equality Competence Centre who according to the Act on the Implementation of the Cohesion and Internal Security Policy Funds 2021-2027, § 7 (3) is responsible for the central coordination of these aspects as this is their field of responsibility among other aspects in the domain of social affairs.

The Ministry of the Interior responsible for drafting the respective conditions for support is responsible for the general Articles of the CRPD covered primarily by the Constitution and national law. When the applicants submit the applications, they must comply with the requirements of the conditions of support, including possible additional requirements related to the CRPD and they also shall confirm that they act in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Estonia, the Charter of Fundamental Rights and CRPD. Thus, the conditions for support are drafted in a way that there would not be any violation cases regarding the CRPD and additional confirmation is required from applicants that they would respect the rights of persons with disabilities.

In 2018, the following regulations entered into force: "Requirements for buildings arising from the special needs of disabled persons" "Requirements for dwellings". As of 1 January 2019, the Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority will exercise state supervision over the application of the regulations. The Technical Regulatory Authority supervises the accessibility of the physical environment and is also planned to supervise the EU Accessibility Directive (EU) 2019/882.

The Ministry of Econimic Affairs and Communications is the national coordinator and promoter of accessibility for all sectors. The Ministry has been actively involved in promoting and coordinating accessibility by supporting the work of the Accessibility Council, which brings together the various stakeholders in the relevant ministries, representatives of the private sector and representative organisations of persons with disabilities. The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications also coordinates the transposition of the Accessibility Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/882 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on the accessibility requirements for products and services). The Accessibility Directive focuses on empowering persons with disabilities to enable them to participate fully and effectively in society on an equal basis with others, although it also benefits persons with functional limitations. The Directive requires that laws, regulations and administrative provisions was transposed into national law that entered in force on 28 June 2022.

A support structure (Equality Competence Centre) was set up in 2015 to provide further support to policy makers and promoters in gender mainstreaming and to ensure non- discrimination (including accessibility) in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation process of programmes and projects under the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESF, ERDF, CF). As of 2021-2027 period the Equality Competence Centre provides the same type of support for AMIF, ISF and BMVI projects. The Centre has published a wide range of information materials, including thematic factsheets and guidelines, and organised training sessions for implementing bodies, intermediate bodies and applicants for funding to raise awareness of accessibility and inclusion of persons with disabilities.

In 2020 the Ministry of Social Affairs carried out an analysis of the accessibility of public transport stops throughout Estonia. The results give an overview of some of the major intersections and the associated public transport stops, together with the necessary cost calculations for the necessary adjustments.

To increase access to assistance for people with disabilities, the Emergency Response Centre has developed an SMS-112 service. It allows people with hearing and speaking disabilities to send SMS messages free of charge when they need rescue personnel, ambulances or police assistance. A user account must be created to use the service. For target groups, information

and awareness-raising on such an opportunity has been organised in cooperation with representative non-governmental organisations.

In launching and implementing awareness-raising activities, specific efforts have been made to ensure accessibility, thereby making the campaigns accessible to people with visual and hearing impairments. The preparation of the campaigns has been carried out in close cooperation with representative organisations to involve persons with disabilities already in the preparation phase. The campaigns have also successfully involved people with disabilities as spokespersons. Using people as genuine spokespersons has helped the public to communicate with and improve the effectiveness of campaign messages. Consultations and cooperation with relevant representative organisations have taken place in the preparation and implementation of thematic analyses and studies.

Anyone with accessibility problems has the right and the opportunity to contact the Gender Equality and Equal Treatment Commissioner (anonymously if necessary). The website is adapted for visually impaired people and information is available in five languages. Every person also has the right to contact the Chancellor of Justice via a website, e-mail, phone, etc. The website is adapted for visually impaired people and information is available in three languages.

All persons who have reached a statutory voting age have the same right to vote and to vote in elections or to stand as a candidate. According to the Riigikogu Election Act (https://www.riigiteataja.ee/akt/1045561), all voters entitled to vote must be able to vote in the manner they choose: at a polling station, electronically or at home. As a general rule, voters vote independently, but voters who wish or need assistance in completing a ballot paper have the right to receive assistance from anyone who does not stand as a candidate in a given constituency. The Riigikogu Selection Act also requires the application of electronic voting to support visually impaired persons.

Polling stations are located in public buildings in Estonia, which must meet the requirements of the Regulation of the Minister for Enterprise and Information Technology on the basis of the Building Code “Requirements for buildings arising from the special needs of persons with disabilities”.

The National Electoral Service provides information on its website for people with special needs, including information on which polling stations are fully accessible to wheelchairs or persons with a baby carriage.

In Estonia, all persons also have the right to vote electronically, which means that they are allowed to vote in any place where there is an online service. The requirements governing electronic voting (Section 483(5) of the Assembly Electoral Act) also require that a vote must support visually impaired persons and that this requirement must be met in practice in such a way that visually impaired persons can exercise their voting rights without assistance.

3. As of 1 January 2019, the Chancellor of Justice performs the tasks of promoting, protecting, and monitoring the implementation of the UN CRPD. In 2019, the Council of Persons with Disabilities was established at the Chancellor of Justice with the aim of advising the Chancellor of Justice on the promotion, protection, and supervision of the rights of persons with disabilities. The Council has been set up based on Article 33(3) of the UN CRPD.

In accordance with the working procedures of the monitoring committee, which were approved at the first meeting, the representative of the Chancellor of Justice shall, if necessary, give an overview of the complaints submitted to him where the activities supported by the funds did not comply with the UN CRPD.

A member of the monitoring committee (e.g. Estonian Chamber of Disabled People, the Commissioner for Gender Equality and Equal Treatment) may make a proposal to the chairman of the monitoring committee to convene a monitoring committee or add an additional item on the agenda should there be a case where activities supported by the funds do not comply with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

The Member State (Ministry of Interior) also uses monitoring data and may, if necessary, initiate a discussion on the subject at a meeting of the Monitoring Committee.

The non-compliance of different non-discrimination clauses is reported to the Chancellor of Justice office. The Chancellor of Justice office has an officer dedicated to the implementation of the UNCRPD and is proactively monitoring the compliance of the Estonian legislation and practices vis a vis the UNCRPD.

3. As of 1 January 2019, the Chancellor of Justice (CJ) is responsible for promoting, protecting and monitoring the implementation of the UNCRPD. In 2019, the Advisory Board for Persons with Disabilities was established under the CJ, with the aim of advising the CJ on the promotion, protection and monitoring of the rights of persons with disabilities. The Advisory Board is established under Article 33(3) of the UNCRPD.

For BMVI. AMIF and ISF projects, the contact point is the monitoring committee (MC), which consists of the relevant umbrella organizations and, if necessary, the MA expands the list of partners. The Estonian Chamber of Disabled People, the CJ and the Commissioner for Gender Equality and Equal Treatment are invited to the meetings of the monitoring committee.

Representative of the CJ provides, if necessary, an overview of the complaints at the MC meeting.

The AMIF, ISF and BMVI monitoring committee meets at least once a year and the Chancellor of Justice office is reporting its findings in case there are any linked to EU funds implementation. If needed ad-hoc meetings will be held.

The reporting arrangement are fixed in the Rules of procedures of the Monitoring Committee of the AMIF, ISF and BMVI Programmes, which were agreed on in first meeting of the Monitoring Committee in 2022.

The Secretariat of the Monitoring Committee shall make a request to the Chancellor of Justice at least 1 week before the draft agenda of the Monitoring Committee is sent to the members of the committee. The query specifies whether complaints have been made to the Chancellor of Justice about violations of fundamental rights, including the rights of persons with disabilities, which are related to the AMIF, ISF and BMVI implementation. In the event of complaints, a discussion point shall be added to the agenda of the meeting enabling decision on possible additional follow-up activities if deemed necessary by the members of the Monitoring Committee. In addition, the members of the Monitoring Committee whose area of competence are among other Articles 20-26 of the Section III of the Charter and UN CRPD shall inform the Chairman of the Monitoring Committee of the need to discuss the problems raised by their members, which might not be submitted as formal complaints to the Chancellor of Justice but are nevertheless essential to be taken into account and discussed. The members of the Monitoring Committee shall be informed in the first monitoring committee meeting of their role and expectations to enable information exchange and effective reporting of the possible violation cases. The organizations to whom the invitation to appoint the member to the Monitoring Committee was sent will be listed in the procedures – the Estonian Chamber of Disabled People, the Gender Equality and Equal Treatment Commissioner.

Members of the MC may propose additional meetings or an additional agenda item if a case arises in which an activity supported by the funds does not comply with the UNCRPD

1. Programmi strateegia: peamised katsumused ja poliitilised lahendused

Viide: määruse (EL) 2021/1060 (ühissätete määrus) artikli 22 lõike 3 punkti a alapunktid iii, iv, v ja ix

Selles punktis selgitatakse, kuidas programm aitab lahendada riigi tasandil kindlaks tehtud

peamisi katsumusi, tuginedes kohalike, piirkondlike ja riiklike vajaduste hindamisele ja/või

strateegiatele. Antakse ülevaade asjaomase liidu õigustiku rakendamise seisust ning liidu

tegevuskavadega saavutatud edusammudest ning kirjeldatakse, kuidas fondi kaudu toetatakse

nende arendamist programmitöö perioodil.

Võrreldes programmitöö perioodiga 2014–2020 on strateegiline planeerimine Eestis

märkimisväärselt muutunud. Riiklike eesmärkide ja nende rahastamise strateegiline planeerimine

toimub keskselt. Euroopa Liidu (edaspidi ka EL) vahendite kavandamiseks ei ole eraldi protsessi

ja planeerimine on allikaneutraalne. Olulised strateegilised eesmärgid tehakse kindlaks eelarve

allikat määramata. Rahastamise üle otsustatakse iga-aastase eelarve koostamise käigus. Selline

põhjapanev muudatus on mõjutanud ka Sisejulgeolekufondi (edaspidi ISF) rakenduskava

koostamist ja ülesehitust.

2

ISFi rakenduskavas käsitletakse kõige pakilisemaid riiklikke probleeme ja ISF täiendab riiklikke

vahendeid. Kus vähegi võimalik, on rakenduskava koostoimes teiste programmide ja

rahastamisvahenditega. Julgeolekut käsitletakse mitmes ELi programmis. ISFi rakenduskava on

tihedalt seotud Varjupaiga-, Rände- ja Integratsioonifondi (edaspidi AMIF) ning piirihalduse ja

viisapoliitika rahastuga (edaspidi BMVI), millega toetatakse samuti ELi üldist julgeolekut

soodustavaid meetmeid. Lisaks on ISFi rakenduskaval koostoime õigusprogrammi ning kodanike,

võrdõiguslikkuse, õiguste ja väärtuste programmiga kuriteoohvrite abistamine ja kaitsmise ning

vähemal määral õiguskoolituse vallas ja ka asjaomaste õiguskaitseasutuste koostöö ja

õiguskaitseasutuste turvalisusega seotud IT-süsteemide ühendamine Euroopa karistusregistrite

infosüsteemiga kolmandate riikide kodanike kohta ehk ECRIS-TCNiga.

Rakenduskaval on koostoime ka tollikoostöö programmiga turvalisusega seotud ohtude ja

piiriülese kuritegevuse vastu võitlemise vallas. Samamoodi peetakse asjakohastes valdkondades

silmas sidusust ühtekuuluvuspoliitika fondide rakenduskavadega ning programmidega „Euroopa

horisont“ ja „Digitaalne Euroopa“. ISFi ja ühtekuuluvuspoliitika fonde kavandatakse Eestis samal

ajal. Seega on tagatud, et rakenduskavadtäiendavad üksteist ja välditakse tegevuste võimalikku

kattuvust. Rahastatavad meetmed sõltuvad olemasolevatest vahenditest ja prioriteetidest. Täpsed

meetmed ja rahastamisallikas lepitakse kokku riiklike protseduuride järgi. Välditakse kattumist ja

tagatakse koostoime teiste fondidega (nt AMIF ja BMVI) tihedas suhtluses ministeeriumide,

Euroopa Komisjoni, ametite ja teise asjaomaste sidusrühmadega.

Pikaajaline katusstrateegia „Eesti 2035“ annab valdkondade poliitikakujundajatele selged

suunised. Peamine riiklik strateegia, mis hõlmab sisejulgeoleku eesmärke, on siseturvalisuse

arengukava (edaspidi STAK). STAK on töötatud välja tihedas koostöös kõigi asjaomaste partnerite

ja sidusrühmadega. STAKi prioriteedid on turvalise elukeskkonna loomine, sh vägivalla

vähendamine, sisejulgeoleku tagamine, sh võitlus organiseeritud kuritegevusega ja kriisiks

valmisolek, kiire ja professionaalne abi, kodakondsus-, rände- ja identiteedihalduspoliitika, mis

tagab Eesti arengu, ning arukas ja uuenduslik sisejulgeolek.

STAKis 2020–2030 on võetud arvesse asjaomaseid ELi poliitikavaldkondi ja eesmärke. Eestis

vastutab asjakohase poliitika rakendamise eest mitu ministeeriumi. Riiklikud strateegiad

täiendavad üksteist, näiteks Eesti infoühiskonna arengukava 2020, kriminaalpoliitika põhialused

aastani 2030, Eesti julgeolekupoliitika alused, riigikaitse arengukava 2017–2026 ja kiirgusohutuse

riiklik arengukava 2018–2027.

Eesti katsumuste peamised märksõnad hõlmavad enamikku ISFi eesmärkidest: küberkuritegevus,

rahapesu ja terrorismi rahastamine, terrorism ja radikaliseerumine, raske ja organiseeritud

kuritegevus, uimastikaubandus, finantsuurimine, korruptsioon, kuritegeliku vara avastamine ja

konfiskeerimine, inimkaubandus, laste (seksuaalne) väärkohtlemine ja ärakasutamine,

kohtuekspertiisi suutlikkus, kriisiennetus, hädaolukorraks valmisolek, vastupidavus kriisi ajal ja

küberrünnakute ning keemiliste, bioloogiliste, radioloogiliste ja tuumaainete (edaspidi CBRN)

tõrjumine.

Probleemide lahendamiseks võetakse järgmisi meetmeid: info- ja sidetehnoloogia arendamine,

nutikad ja uuenduslikud tehnoloogilised vahendid, suurem analüütiline suutlikkus, (operatiivne)

koostöö ametiasutuste vahel ning parem riiklik suutlikkus, mis saavutatakse muu hulgas koolituse

ja asjakohase varustuse soetamise kaudu. Samuti on oluline, et asjaomastes üksustes oleks piisav

arv spetsialiste. Märksõnad on ka ennetamine, varajane hoiatamine ja teadlikkuse suurendamine.

Julgeolekuteemalised teadusuuringud on olulised, et töötada välja uuenduslikke meetodeid ja võtta

3

kasutusele uut tehnoloogiat. Võimalikud tulevased rakendusmeetmed on kooskõlas määruse

(EL)2021/1060 artikli 22 lõike 4 punktiga d tabelites 3, 6 ja 9 märgitud 0 euroga, et lisaraha

saamisel tagada võimalike kulude tagasiulatuv abikõlblikkus.

Tegevuste kavandamisel ja elluviimisel hinnatakse detailsemalt sihtrühmapõhise lähenemise

vajalikkust, et tagada meetmete maksimaalne mõju ja sobivus. Tegevuste elluviimisel austatakse

põhiõiguseid, sealhulgas andmekaitse, sooline võrdõiguslikkus, mittediskrimineerimine,

rahvusvaheline kaitse ning haavatavate isikute, sealhulgas laste ja puuetega isikute erivajadused.

ISFi rakenduskava eesmärke on võimalik saavutada vaid koostöös teiste ametiasutustega. Samuti

on oluline kaasata kodanikuühiskonda ja teisi asjaomaseid partnereid ning teha koostööd

erasektoriga. ISFi rakenduskava rakendamisel kaalutakse ka koostööd kolmandate riikidega.

Toetust antakse grantidena.

Kuna osad katsumused eelarveperioodi 2021-2027 on samad, mis perioodil 2014-2020,

rahastatakse osaliselt sarnaseid tegevusi.

Politseikoostöö, kuritegevuse tõkestamise ja selle vastu võitlemise ning kriisiohje

rahastamisvahendi (edaspidi ISF Police) programm 2014–2020 on andnud asjaomase ELi acquis’

rakendamiseks vajalikke lisavahendeid. Praeguses rakenduskavas toetatakse jätkuvalt ELi acquis’

ja vajaduse korral selle tegevuskavade rakendamist kogu programmitsükli vältel, võttes samas

arvesse uusi ohte. Lühiülevaade ELi acquis’ rakendamisest on järgmine.

Eesti on järginud ELi narkostrateegia 2013–2020 ja ELi narkootikumidealase tegevuskava 2017–

2020 eesmärke ja meetmeid, rakendades 2014. aasta jaanuaris vastu võetud riiklikku

strateegiadokumenti „Valge raamat uimastiennetuspoliitika kohta“. Selle peamine eesmärk on

vähendada uimastite kasutamist ja sellest tulenevat kahju. See järgib ELi tasakaalustatud

lähenemisviisi uimastipoliitikale ja toetub seitsmele sambale: i) pakkumise vähendamine; ii) üldine

esmane ennetamine; iii) varajane avastamine ja sekkumine; iv) kahju vähendamine; v) ravi ja

rehabilitatsioon; vi) resotsialiseerimine ja vii) järelevalve. Uimastipoliitika meetmeid rakendatakse

ja rahastatakse riiklike strateegiate kaudu, mis järgivad valge raamatu ja seega ELi narkostrateegia

eesmärke.

Mis puutub ELi infosüsteemidesse, siis EL määrustest tulenevaid töid tehakse riigi tasandil.

Lennureisijate broneeringuinfo andmebaasi ehk PNRi andmebaasi arendatakse ISFi programmi

2014–2020 raames. Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu direktiiv (EL) 2016/681, 27. aprill 2016, mis

käsitleb broneeringuinfo kasutamist terroriaktide ja raskete kuritegude ennetamiseks,

avastamiseks, uurimiseks ja nende eest vastutusele võtmiseks (edaspidi broneeringuinfo direktiiv),

võeti üle 2019. aasta veebruaris. Lennureisijate broneeringuinfo üksus loodi 2018. aasta mais ja

alates 15. augustist 2019 võrreldakse reisijate andmeid automaatselt Schengeni infosüsteemiga

(edaspidi SIS). Broneeringuinfo direktiivi I lisa kohaselt käsitatakse broneeringuinfo andmete

loetelus broneeringuinfo osana ka rakendusliidese andmeid. Programmis tagatakse rakendusliidese

andmete töötlemine broneeringuinfo osana. ISF programm adresseerib ka 19. detsembri 2024. aasta

Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu määruse (EL) 2025/13, mis käsitleb resijaid käsitleva eelteabe

kogumist ja edastamist terroriaktide ja raskete kuritegude ennetamiseks, avastamiseks, uurimiseks

ja nende eest vastutsele võtmiseks (edaspidi API määrus), nõudeid.

Schengeni politseikoostöö infosüsteemi arendati ISF Police’i programmi raames. Interpoli

päringud on integreeritud SIRENEsse. 2018. ja 2023. aasta Schengeni hindamise soovitusi on

peetud silmas 2021-2027. aastate plaanide koostamisel.

Üht Eestile 2018. aasta Scengeni hindamise raames tehtud soovitust rahastatakse ISFist –

rahvusvaheliseks koostööks töötatakse välja interaktiivne ja kasutajakeskne e-õppe lahendus, mis

põhineb praktilistel olukordadel ja juhtumitel (vt erieesmärk 2). ISFist rahatatakse ka 2023. aasta

Schengeni hindamise käigus tehtud soovitust võtta kasutusele automaatne andmelaadija Europoli

infosüsteemiga suhtlemisel. Teisi vajadusi, mis tulenevad Schengeni ja Schevali hindamistest

SIS/SIRENE ja politseikoostöö valdkonnas, rahastatakse peamiselt riigieelarvest, kuid vajaduse

korral kasutatakse ka ISFi vahendeid.

Prüm II määrus (Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu 13. märtsi 2024. aasta määrus (EL) 2024/982

politseikoostöö raames toimuva automatiseeritud andmete otsingu ja vahetuse kohta) tõhustab

oluliselt ja laiendab olemasolevat automatiseeritud andmevahetusmehhanismi, mis on loodud algse

Prümi raamistiku alusel. Varem võisid Euroopa Liidu liikmesriikide õiguskaitseasutused vahetada

kõigi liikmesriikidega kahepoolsete kanalite kaudu DNA-profiile, daktüloskoopilisi andmeid ja

teatud sõidukite registreerimise andmeid. Uuendatud määrus lisab neile kolmele olemasolevale

kategooriale näopildid ja politseiandmed, mis võimaldavad kõigi viie andmetüübi automaatset ja

anonüümset vahetamist. See hõlbustab oluliselt kuritegude ennetamist, avastamist ja uurimist,

samuti kadunud isikute otsimist ja tundmatute inimsäilmete tuvastamist. Eelmainitud täiendused

võimadavad piiriülest politseikoostööd oluliselt tõhustada. Prüm II määruse rakendamist

toetatakse ISF programmi raames.

Eesti osaleb aktiivselt Euroopa Liidu Õiguskaitsekoolituse Ameti (edaspidi CEPOL) koostöös.

CEPOLi riiklik üksus asub Sisekaitseakadeemias. Sisekaitseakadeemia on ka CEPOLi partner

Eestis. Eestis on koostöö CEPOLiga korraldatud võrgustikuna, kuhu kuulub 11 õiguskaitseasutust.

Sisejulgeolekufondi rakenduskava raames planeeritavad õiguskaitseametnike koolitused

arvestavad CEPOLi koostatud Euroopa Liidu strateegilise koolitusvajaduse hinnangu 2022-2025

tulemusi. Erilist tähelepanu pööratakse nimetatud koolitusvajaduse hinnangus toodud peamistele

võimelünkadele.

Hädaolukorra seadusega on võetud üle 14. detsembri 2022. aasta Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu

direktiiv (EL) 2022/2557.

Korruptsioonivastaseid meetmeid käsitleva ELi acquis’ ülevõtmise ja rakendamisega Eestis

probleeme ei ole. Tööalasest Euroopa Liidu õiguse rikkumisest teavitaja kaitse seadusega on Eesti

üle võtnud rikkumisest teatanud isikute kaitset käsitleva direktiivi (EL) 2019/1937. Eraldi ELi

korruptsioonivastast tegevuskava ei ole loodud. 2021. aasta aprillis võeti vastu ELi organiseeritud

kuritegevuse vastu võitlemise strateegia 2021–2025. Kokkuvõtvalt võib öelda, et Eesti tegevus

selles valdkonnas ei ole vastuolus ELi strateegiliste eesmärkidega.

Komisjoni 2021. aasta õigusriigi olukorda käsitlevas aruandes on märgitud, et Eesti

kriminaalõigussüsteem on tõestanud oma tõhusust korruptsioonijuhtumite kindlakstegemisel.

Ennetusmeetmed hõlmavad suuniseid lobitegevuse ja huvide konflikti kohta. Seadusandlik

menetlus rikkumisest teataja kaitset käsitlevate terviklike eeskirjade vastuvõtmiseks on käimas.

Varade deklareerimise süsteemi ajakohastati, et kohustada ministrite poliitilisi nõunikke esitama

majanduslike huvide deklaratsioone.

Inimkaubandusega seotud ELi acquis’ on võetud Eesti õigusesse üle. Sellest hoolimata tuleb

meetmete rakendamist asutustes veelgi parandada, sest mitte kõiki ohvrite kohtlemisega seotud

meetmeid ei rakendata asutuste igapäevases töös (nt meetmed, mis on seotud ärakuulamistega).

Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu 5. aprilli 2011. aasta direktiivi 2011/36/EL artikli 2 järgi võtavad

liikmesriigid vajalikke meetmeid tagamaks, et karistatakse järgmisi tahtlikke tegusid: isikute

värbamine, transportimine, üleandmine, varjamine või vastuvõtmine, sealhulgas nende isikute üle

kontrolli vahetamine või üleandmine, ähvardades või kasutades vägivalda või muid

sunnimeetmeid, inimröövi, pettust, võimu või kaitsetu seisundi kuritarvitamist, raha või hüvitiste

võtmist või andmist, et saavutada teise isiku üle kontrolli omava isiku nõusolek ärakasutamise

eesmärgil. Eesti on pühendunud inimkaubanduse tõkestamise direktiivi kui esmase võrdluspunkti

täielikule järgimisele.

Kuni aprillini 2021 oli viimane ELi tasandi strateegiline inimkaubanduse teemaline juhis Euroopa

Parlamendile ja nõukogule komisjoni teatises „Aruanne inimkaubanduse kaotamist käsitleva ELi

strateegia järelmeetmete ning konkreetsete edasiste meetmete kohta“. Eesti võtab teatises

nimetatud kolme prioriteedi rakendamiseks asjakohased meetmed ja aitab saavutada uues

inimkaubanduse vastu võitlemise ELi strateegias sätestatud prioriteete.

Eesti riigisisene õigus on vastavuses direktiiviga (EL) 2021/555, milles on määratud kindlaks

tulirelvade omandamise ja omamise ning tulirelvade teise ELi riiki üleandmise kontrolli ühised

miinimumnõuded ELis. Tänu 2017. aasta revisjonile paraneb tuntavalt turvalisus, sest teatavate

suure võimsusega relvade, näiteks poolautomaatseks muudetud automaatsete tulirelvade

omandamine muutub õiguslikult keerulisemaks. Samuti tugevdab tulirelvade direktiiv koostööd

ELi riikide vahel, parandades teabevahetust (Eesti on siseturu infosüsteemi kasutanud alates 2019.

aasta septembrist), ning edendab märgatavalt tulirelvade jälgitavust, parandades seaduslikult

hoitavate tulirelvade jälgimist, et vähendada nende ebaseaduslikele turgudele sattumise ohtu.

Komisjoni rakendusdirektiivid (EL) 2019/69 ja (EL) 2019/68 on võetud üle ka Eesti õigusesse.

Eesti järgib tulirelvade deaktiveerimise ühiseid miinimumstandardeid käsitlevat rakendusmäärust.

Eesti politsei registreerib kõik deaktiveeritud tulirelvad ning nende andmed salvestatakse teenistus-

ja tsiviilrelvade registrisse.

Eesti valitsus uuendab STAKiga 2020–2030 oma terrorismivastase võitluse prioriteete. Strateegia

hõlmab kõiki terrorismivastase võitluse ja vägivaldse äärmusluse arengusuundi. STAKi

prioriteedid on kooskõlas Ühinenud Rahvaste Organisatsiooni (edaspidi ÜRO) ülemaailmse

terrorismivastase võitluse strateegiaga ning ÜRO, ELi, koostööpartnerluse, Euroopa Julgeoleku- ja

Koostööorganisatsiooni (edaspidi OSCE) ja rahvusvahelise õiguse peamiste põhimõtete ja

prioriteetidega (sh inimõiguste kaitse). STAK on osaliselt piiratud juurdepääsuga.

2018. aasta detsembris võttis Riigikogu vastu seaduseelnõu, millega rakendatakse riigisiseses

õiguses ÜRO resolutsiooni 2178, terrorismi ennetamise lisaprotokolli ja ELi direktiivi

(EL) 2017/541. Muu hulgas laiendati seaduseelnõus terrorismiohvrite mõistet ja

terrorismikuritegudega seotud kuritegevuse elemente. Riigikogu võttis 2018. aasta detsembris

kooskõlas ELi direktiiviga vastu karistusseadustiku, rahapesu ja terrorismi rahastamise tõkestamise

seaduse ning ohvrite toetamise seaduse muudatused. Samuti viidi seaduseelnõu kooskõlla ÜRO

resolutsiooni ja Euroopa Nõukogu terrorismi ennetamise konventsiooni lisaprotokolliga.

Kemikaaliseadust täiendati lisanõuetega, mis kohustavad küsima ohtlike kemikaalide käitlemiseks

luba, teostama riiklikku järelevalvet ja teatama kahtlastest tehingutest ning lõhkeaine kadumisest

ja vargusest. Radioaktiivsete kiirgusallikate julgeolek on reguleeritud kiirgusseaduses, mis on

6

kooskõlas ELi nõukogu direktiiviga 2013/59/Euratom ning muude rahvusvaheliste

konventsioonide ja standarditega. Eesti arendab lisasuutlikkust tuvastada ja tõkestada internetis

terroristlikke tegevusi (ELi algatus võidelda terroristliku infosisu vastu internetis koostöös

erasektori ja ELi internetifoorumiga). Terroristliku veebisisu vastase määruse rakendamist

rahastatakse riigieelarvest. Veebikonstaablid (internetis töötavad politseinikud) teevad koostööd

Europoli Euroopa terrorismivastase võitluse keskuse internetisisust teavitamise üksusega, et

võidelda ebaseadusliku veebisisu ja vägivaldse propaganda vastu.

Rahapesu ja terrorismi rahastamise tõkestamise seadus, millega võeti üle viies rahapesu

andmebüroo direktiiv, võeti vastu 2020. aasta juulis.

Küberkuritegevuse vallas on Eesti kehtestanud asjakohased õigusaktid, Budapesti konventsiooni

rakendamise ja ebaseadusliku tegevuse karistamise. Sisemine operatiivkoostöö õiguskaitse- ja

õigusasutuste vahel toimib hästi ning Eesti ootab uut e-tõendit käsitlevat õigusakti.

Eesti on ratifitseerinud Euroopa Nõukogu konventsiooni laste kaitse kohta seksuaalse

ärakasutamise ja kuritarvitamise eest ehk Lanzarote konventsiooni. Eesti õigus on kooskõlas

Lanzarote konventsiooni kriminaalõigussätetega. Konventsiooni ratifitseerimiseks vajalikud

tegevused on kirjas „Laste ja perede arengukavas aastateks 2012–2020“ ja „Vägivalla ennetamise

strateegias aastateks 2015–2020“. Teemasid on käsitletud ka Vabariigi Valitsuse

tegevusprogrammis 2019–2023, milles tõstetakse esile alaealistega seotud seksuaalkuritegude

vastane võitlus ja süütegude toimepanijate vastutusele võtmine.

Kahjuks ei ole võimalik tegeleda kõigi järgnevalt kirjeldatud katsumustega üksnes ISFi rahastuse

abil. Rakenduskava eesmärk on käsitleda probleeme võimalikult ulatuslikult, kuid samas

paindlikult, et reageerida tulevastele sündmustele ja muutuvatele prioriteetidele. Rahastatavad

meetmed sõltuvad ressurssidest ja prioriteetidest. Täpsed meetmed ja rahastamisallikad lepitakse

kokku riiklike protseduuride järgi.

Rakenduskavas võetakse arvesse haldussuutlikkust ja tõhusust ning võimaluse korral rakendatakse

lihtsustamismeetmeid, et vähendada halduskoormust ning suurendada mõjusust, tõhusust ja

säästlikkust.

2. Erieesmärgid

2.1. Erieesmärgi nimetus

Tõhustada ja hõlbustada teabevahetust pädevates asutustes ja asjaomastes liidu organites,

ametites ja asutustes ning nende vahel ning asjakohasel juhul kolmandate riikide ja

rahvusvaheliste organisatsioonidega

2.1.1. Erieesmärgi kirjeldus

Käesolevas punktis kirjeldatakse iga erieesmärgi puhul esialgset olukorda, peamisi katsumusi ja

pakutakse välja lahendused, mida fondist toetatakse. Siin kirjeldatakse, milliseid

rakendusmeetmeid fondi toetusel käsitletakse; samuti esitatakse esialgne loetelu meetmetest, mis

kuuluvad AMIFi, ISFi või BMVI määruse artiklite 3 ja 5 kohaldamisalasse. Täpsemalt:

tegevustoetuse puhul esitatakse selgitus kooskõlas AMIFi määruse artikliga 21, ISFi määruse

7

artikliga 16 või BMVI määruse artiklitega 16 ja 17. See sisaldab soovituslikku loetelu

toetusesaajatest koos nende seadusjärgsete kohustustega ja põhiülesandeid, mida tuleb toetada.

Rahastamisvahendite kavandatud kasutamine, kui kohaldatav.

Turvalisuse tagamise põhitegur on luua ja ajakohastada turvalisi infosüsteeme ja e-lahendusi. Kuigi

digiteerimine on juba aastaid olnud üks Eesti lipulaevadest, on see alarahastatud ja turul ei ole

piisavalt arendajaid. Samal ajal tuleb täita uusi liikmesriikidele esitatavaid nõudeid, et tagada

turvalisusega seotud teabevahetus ja Europoli andmeid käsitleva liidu acquis’ täielik ja ühetaoline

rakendamine. Ka ELi infosüsteemide puudujääkidega tegelemiseks tuleb suunata piisavalt

vahendeid. Eesti on edukalt loonud ja kohandanud riiklikke IT-süsteeme, et tagada tõhus ühendus

ELi turvalisusega seotud infosüsteemidega, ning sellega tegeletakse ka edaspidi.

Eesti kavatseb kasutada ISFi vahendeid peamiselt selleks, et luua, kohandada ja hooldada ISFi

eesmärkidele vastavaid info- ja sidesüsteeme. Samuti on vaja tagada süsteemide kasutamise

koolitus.

Erieesmärgi raames kaalutakse võimalikke tegevusi, mis keskenduvad peamiselt ISFi määruse

II lisa rakendusmeetmele d: toetada asjakohaseid riiklikke meetmeid. Rakendusmeede a on samuti

prioriteet: tagada liidu julgeolekualase acquis’ ühetaoline kohaldamine, toetades asjakohase teabe

vahetamist.

Vajaduse korral võib rakendusmeetmeid b ja c kaaluda rakendamise hilisemas etapis.

Rakenduskava koostamise ajal ei ole konkreetseid meetmeid planeeritud.

Kavatsetakse rakendada järgmisi ISFi määruse II lisas toodud meetmeid, sh teha järgmisi tegevusi.

a) Tagada liidu julgeolekuvaldkonna acquis’ ühtne kohaldamine, toetades asjakohase teabe

vahetamist näiteks Prümi lepingu, ELi broneeringuinfo ja SIS raames, sealhulgas

rakendades kvaliteedikontrolli- ja hindamismehhanismide, näiteks Schengeni hindamis- ja

järelevalvemehhanismi või muude kvaliteedikontrolli- ja hindamismehhanismide kaudu

saadud soovitusi.

Asjakohaste õigusaktide kohaldamise praegust olukorda (PNR, SIS, Prüm) on kirjeldatud punktis

1.

Üks prioriteete on endiselt tagada PNRi andmebaasi edasine areng ja haldamine. PNRi andmebaas

on töötatud välja ISFi programmi 2014–2020 raames, kuid projekti tulemuste kestlikuks arenguks

on vaja tagada pidev rahastamine. Et tagada andmebaasi usaldusväärsus ja broneeringuinfo

direktiivi ning API määruse nõuete täitmine, arendatakse andmebaasi edasi ning korraldatakse

õppevisiite. PNRi andmebaas suhtleb Europoli infosüsteemiga.

SIS uued funktsioonid töötatakse välja 2022. aastal. Kui tulevikus SIS ajakava muudetakse või

sõlmitakse uusi lepinguid, võib nendega tegelemiseks kaaluda ISFi rahastust. Lisaks tuleb pidevalt

käsitleda kavandatavaid meetmeid ELi suuremahuliste infosüsteemide koostalitlusvõime

loomiseks. Eesti kavatseb selleks kasutada BMVI vahendeid. Vajaduse korral võib ISFi määruse

eesmärkide saavutamiseks vajalikke arendusprojekte rahastada ISFist.

Rahastatakse ka Prümi II määruse nõuete täitmisega seotud projekte.

ISF määruse III lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

8

- võtta kasutusele, kohandada ja hooldada käesoleva määruse eesmärkide saavutamisele kaasa

aitavaid IKT-süsteeme, pakkuda selliste süsteemide kasutamisalast koolitust ning nende

komponentide koostalitlusvõimet ja andmete kvaliteeti testida ja parandada;

-seadmete soetamine;

-asjaomaste õiguskaitse- ja kohtuasutuste ning haldusasutuste töötajate ja ekspertide haridus ja

koolitus;

- töötajate kulude rahastamine, kes on seotud fondist toetatavate meetmetega, või meetmetega, mis

nõuavad töötajate kaasamist tehnilistel või julgeolekuga seotud põhjustel.

Rakenduskava rakendamisel võib sõltuvalt tegelikest vajadustest ja olemasolevatest ressurssidest

kaaluda ka teiste ISFi meetmete rakendamist.

ISF määruse IV lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- projektid, mille eesmärk on ELi infosüsteemide ja riiklikke IKT-süsteemide koostalitlusvõime

parandamine liidu või liikmesriigi õiguses sätestatud ulatuses.

d) Toetada asjakohaseid riiklikke meetmeid, sealhulgas turvalisusega seotud riiklike

andmebaaside omavahelist seotust ja kõnealuste andmebaaside sidumist liidu

andmebaasidega, kui see on asjaomaste õiguslike alustega ette nähtud ja vajalik artikli 3

lõike 2 punktis a sätestatud erieesmärkide rakendamiseks.

Rakenduskava peamine eesmärk on toetada asjakohaseid riiklikke meetmeid. Katsumus on, kuidas

teavet paremini koguda, analüüsida ning asjaomaste pädevate asutuste sees ja vahel vahetada.

On oluline, et kõiki kuritegusid menetletaks võimalikult kiiresti ning pädevatel asutustel oleks

õiguspärane juurdepääs vajalikele riiklikele ja rahvusvahelistele andmebaasidele. Selleks tuleb

töötada välja asjakohased (riiklikud) infosüsteemid ja andmebaasid ning tagada nende

koostalitlusvõime, võttes arvesse infoturbemeetmeid ja tagades tõhusa järelevalve.

Eestis on veel valdkondi, kus andmevahetus ei ole digitaalne ja tehakse palju tööd käsitsi.

Kriminaalmenetlus ei ole täielikult digiteeritud ja see mõjutab menetluse kiirust. Politseiuurija ja

kohtuekspertiisi teadlase suhtlust konkreetse juhtumi kohta tuleb tehnoloogia kasutamise abil veel

parandada. Vaja on uut üleriigilist seiret (nt inimeste, sõidukite ja esemete üle), mis oleks

ühendatud SISga ning tagaks rahvusvaheliste kohustuste täitmise võitluses terrorismi ning raskete

ja varjatud kuritegude vastu (nt küberkuritegevus, rahapesu ja lastevastased seksuaalkuriteod).

Eesti kavatseb sellesse valdkonda investeerida nii struktuurifondide kui ka riigieelarve vahendeid,

kaalutakse ka ISFi vahendite kasutamist.

Eestis on digitaalse kohtuekspertiisi arendamises vajakajäämisi. Kuna kuriteod liiguvad rohkem

internetti, suureneb digiteerituse vajalikkus. Seega tuleks suurendada asjaomaste asutuste

suutlikkust tulla töömahuga toime. IKT-seadmete ja sektoripõhiste koolituste ebajärjekindel

rahastamine ei taga valdkonna kestlikku ja süsteemset arengut. Operatiivseks töötamiseks on vaja

automatiseeritud lahendusi.

Tuleb suurendada järelevalvesuutlikkust, sh parandada andmete kogumist ja asjakohast

teabevahetust nii keskkriminaalpolitsei sees kui ka teiste asutustega. Muu hulgas tuleb

ajakohastada riiklikke süsteeme ja soetada vajalikke IKT-seadmeid. Operatiivse järelevalve

tööriist, mida Eesti õiguskaitseorganid praegu kasutavad, vajab ajakohastamist. On vaja töötada

välja uus järelevalvemoodul, et teha seiret ja taktikalist analüüsi tervikuna ühes keskkonnas koos

9

võimalusega teha eri päringuid (sh asjaomastes ELi infosüsteemides) ning vahetada infot.

Operatiivse järelevalve tööriist suhtleb Europoli infosüsteemiga ja Schengeni infosüsteemiga.

Rahapesu, mis rahastab suuremat osa raskest ja organiseeritud kuritegevusest, on üks selle

valdkonna peamisi liikumapanevaid jõude. Selleks, et suurendada ja hõlbustada ettevõtete,

teenuseosutajate, finantseerimisasutuste ja virtuaalvaluuta teenuse osutajate vastutust rahapesu ja

terrorismi rahastamise ennetamisel, tuleb luua asjakohane aruandlusportaal.

Eesti tellis riskihindamise metoodika, et koostada Eestis uus rahapesu ja terrorismi rahastamise

riskihindamine. Mitu töörühma alustas tööd 2019. aasta sügisel ja riiklik riskihindamine kiideti

heaks 2021. aasta aprillis.

Politsei- ja Piirivalveamet võtab kasutusele automaatse andmelaadija Europoli infosüsteemiga

suhtlemisel.

Asjaomaste asutuste suutlikkuse arendamine, et tegeleda luureandmetega avalikest allikatest

(edaspidi OSINT), on prioriteet, mis vajab eri rahastusallikaid, mh kaalutakse selleks kasutada ISFi

vahendeid.

ISF määruse III lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- võtta kasutusele, kohandada ja hooldada käesoleva määruse eesmärkide saavutamisele kaasa

aitavaid IKT-süsteeme, pakkuda selliste süsteemide kasutamisalast koolitust ning nende

komponentide koostalitlusvõimet ja andmete kvaliteeti testida ja parandada;

- seadmete rahastamine;

- töötajate kulude rahastamine, kes on seotud fondist toetatavate meetmetega, või meetmetega, mis

nõuavad töötajate kaasamist tehnilistel või julgeolekuga seotud põhjustel.

Rakenduskava rakendamisel võib sõltuvalt tegelikest vajadustest ja olemasolevatest ressurssidest

kaaluda ka teiste ISFi meetmete rakendamist.

ISF määruse IV lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- projektid, mille eesmärk on ELi infosüsteemide ja riiklikke IKT-süsteemide koostalitlusvõime

parandamine liidu või liikmesriigi õiguses sätestatud ulatuses.

Tegevustoetus

Eesti kavatseb kasutada tegevustoetust, et aidata saavutada ISFi rakenduskava eesmärke.

Tegevustoetus võimaldab säilitada kogu liidu jaoks olulist suutlikkust.

Politsei- ja Piirivalveametis (edaspidi PPA) on vaja suurendada riikliku broneeringuinfo üksuse

(edaspidi PIU) personali. PIU analüüsib reisijate nimekirju, töötleb teavet ööpäev ringi ja vahetab

seda oma kolleegidega. Vajaliku andmevahetuse taseme tagamiseks on hädavajalik värvata PIUsse

ametnikke juurde.

Tuleb tagada PNRi andmebaasi pidev hooldus (nt turva- ja tarkvarauuendused ning taristukulud,

sh serverite ja litsentside hooldamise kulud).

Digitaalse kriminalistika valdkonnas tuleb näha ette iga-aastased eritarkvara (uuendused, tasud,

litsentsid) kulud, et tagada digitõendite tuvastamine, kogumine, käitlemine ja säilitamine.

10

Küberkuritegevuse ja OSINTi valdkonnas tuleb katta eritarkvara ja võrguseadmete iga-aastased

hoolduskulud, et suurendada ja säilitada politsei suutlikkust teavet süstemaatiliselt hallata ja

analüüsida.

Kõigis nimetatud valdkondades on lõplik toetusesaaja PPA, kes vastutab seaduse järgi riigi

turvalisuse ja avaliku korra eest ning kuritegude uurimise ja ennetamise eest. Sõltuvalt riiklikust

korrast võib info- ja sidetehnoloogia süsteemide hooldusega seotud rahastust suunata

Siseministeeriumi infotehnoloogia ja arenduskeskusele, kes vastutab põhimääruse kohaselt

ministeeriumile ja selle haldusala asutustele vajalike IKT-teenuste osutamise eest.

Teiste tegevuste rahastamise võimalus ei ole välistatud.

Finantsinstrumendid. Ei kohaldata.

2.2. Erieesmärgi nimetus

Parandada ja tõhustada piiriülest koostööd, sealhulgas ühisoperatsioone pädevate asutuste

vahel seoses terrorismi ning raske ja organiseeritud kuritegevusega, millel on piiriülene mõõde

2.2.1. Erieesmärgi kirjeldus

Käesolevas punktis kirjeldatakse iga erieesmärgi puhul esialgset olukorda, peamisi katsumusi ja

pakutakse välja lahendused, mida fondist toetatakse. Siin kirjeldatakse, milliseid

rakendusmeetmeid fondi toetusel käsitletakse; samuti esitatakse esialgne loetelu meetmetest, mis

kuuluvad AMIFi, ISFi või BMVI määruse artiklite 3 ja 5 kohaldamisalasse. Täpsemalt:

tegevustoetuse puhul esitatakse selgitus kooskõlas AMIFi määruse artikliga 21, ISFi määruse

artikliga 16 või BMVI määruse artiklitega 16 ja 17. See sisaldab soovituslikku loetelu

toetusesaajatest koos nende seadusjärgsete kohustustega ja põhiülesandeid, mida tuleb toetada.

Rahastamisvahendite kavandatud kasutamine, kui kohaldatav.

Eesti on liidu tasandil aktiivne nii kahepoolses kui ka mitmepoolses piiriüleses koostöös, et

võidelda raske ja organiseeritud kuritegevusega.

Eesti keskkriminaalpolitseil on naaberriikide koostööpartneritega hea koostöö uimastiäri vastu

võitlemises, rajatud on mitu ühist uurimisrühma. Liikmesriikide asutustevahelise koostöö kõrval

tuleb parandada koostööd rahvusvaheliste organisatsioonidega (Europol, Interpol, CEPOL,

Euroopa Narkootikumide ja Narkomaania Seirekeskus, ÜRO narkootikumide ja kuritegevuse

büroo jne). Nii Eesti politseil kui ka tollil on Europolis oma kontaktametnikud, et hõlbustada

igapäevast teabevahetust. Selleks organiseeritakse koolitusi, vastastikust õppimist ja spetsiaalseid

vahetusprogramme. Keskenduda tuleb praegustele suundumustele, eelkõige tehnoloogia arengule

ja sünteetiliste opioidide, sh fentanüülide levikule. Oluline on üleilmastunud uimastiturule

paremini reageerida, tugevdades partnerlust liikmesriikide ametiasutuste ja teiste asjaomaste

partnerite vahel, sealhulgas vajaduse korral kolmandate riikidega.

Terrorismivastases võitluses toetavad Eesti õiguskaitseasutusi rahvusvaheline koostöö ELis, sh

terrorismivastase võitluse rühma ja Europoli Euroopa terrorismivastase võitluse keskusega,

teabevahetus Interpolis, terrorismivastane koostöö ÜRO, NATO, Euroopa Nõukogu ja OSCEga

ning kahepoolsed suhted partnerriikidega.

Koordineerimine ja koostöö õiguskaitseasutuste ja teiste organiseeritud kuritegevuse vastu

võitlevate pädevate asutustega on oluline. ELi poliitikatsükli organiseeritud ja raske rahvusvahelise

kuritegevusega võitlemiseks EMPACT 2022+ raames on Eestil kavas osaleda järgmiste

valdkondade tegevustes: aktsiisipettused, varifirmadega seotud ühendusesisene pettus, uued

psühhoaktiivsed ained ja sünteetilised uimastid, ebaseaduslik ränne, infosüsteemide vastu suunatud

rünnakud (küberkuritegevus), laste seksuaalne ärakasutamine (küberkuritegevus), pettused

mittesularahaliste maksevahenditega (küberkuritegevus), tulirelvade salakaubavedu,

keskkonnakuritegevus ja organiseeritud varavastane kuritegevus.

Eesti jaoks on oluline rõhutada ELi institutsioonidevahelise julgeolekukoostöö tugevdamist

(ühistegevus, teabevahetus jne). Eesti aitas sellele kaasa, kui korraldas ELi nõukogu

eesistujariigina Europoli ja Frontexi juhatuse esimese ühiskoosoleku, kus lepiti kokku

koostööpõhimõtetes ja -tegevustes.

Erieesmärgi 2 raames kavatseb Eesti kasutada ISFi vahendeid peamiselt selleks, et parandada

asutustevahelist koostööd ja koordineeritust riiklikul ja liidu tasandil ning vajaduse korral ka

kolmandate riikidega.

15

Praeguste plaanide kohaselt moodustavad selle erieesmärgi tegevused rakenduskavast väikese osa.

Kõnealune erieesmärk aitab rakendada meetmeid a: suurendada õiguskaitseoperatsioonide arvu

kahe või enama liikmesriiki vahel, sealhulgas vajaduse korral operatsioone, mis hõlmavad teisi

asjaomaseid osalisi, eelkõige hõlbustades ja parandades ühiste uurimisrühmade kasutamist, ühiseid

patrulle, jälitustegevust, varjatud jälgimist ja muid operatiivkoostöömehhanisme ELi poliitikatsükli

raames, pannes erilist rõhku piiriülestele operatsioonidele; b ja c: parandada koostööd

liikmesriikide ning liidu asutuste ja ametite vahel ning liikmesriikide asutuste vahel, samuti

õiguskaitseasutuste ja teiste pädevate asutuste vahelist koordineerimist ning koostööd

liikmesriikides ja nende vahel.

Erieesmärgi jaoks ISFi määruses seatud rahastamise miinimumprotsenti ei saavutata. Otsus tuleneb

piiriüleste (ühiste) tegevuste laadist ja mahust, mida ei ole võimalik prognoosida. Selliseid tegevusi

tehakse pidevalt igas valdkonnas, ja kui tekib vajadus, rahastab Eesti neid edasi riigieelarvest või

kasutab sihtotstarbelisi vahendeid (nt komisjonipoolne rahastamine). Operatiivkoostöö on väga

tähtis ja Eesti jätkab aktiivset osalemist nii kahe- kui ka mitmepoolses piiriüleses koostöös, nagu

eespool kirjeldatud. Lisaks on erieesmärgi 3 raames kavandatud meetmed, millel on laiem eesmärk

ja mis aitavad saavutada erieesmärgi 2 sihte (nt õppereisid ja koostöö korruptsiooni ennetamiseks

ja selle vastu võitlemiseks ning rahvusvaheline koostöö küberkuritegevuse ennetamiseks ja selle

vastu võitlemiseks).

Rakenduskavas on arvestatud riigi tegelikke vajadusi ja katsumusi. Kui eraldada erieesmärgi jaoks

ISFi rakenduskava raames vähem vahendeid, kui on nähtud ette ISFi määruses, ei ohusta see

erieesmärgi saavutamist, kuna selleks kasutatakse ka riigieelarve vahendeid ja muid asjakohaseid

rahastamisvõimalusi.

ISFi määruse II lisas toodud meetmete rakendamiseks tehakse järgmisi tegevusi.

a) Suurendada õiguskaitseoperatsioonide arvu kahe või enama liikmesriiki vahel, sealhulgas

vajaduse korral operatsioone, mis hõlmavad teisi asjaomaseid osalisi, eelkõige hõlbustades ja

parandades ühiste uurimisrühmade kasutamist, ühiseid patrulle, jälitustegevust, varjatud

jälgimist ja muid operatiivkoostöömehhanisme ELi poliitikatsükli raames, pannes erilist

rõhku piiriülestele operatsioonidele.

Aktsiisikuritegevuse ja aktsiisimaksu lõhe vähendamiseks Balti regioonis ja ELis tervikuna on

kavas suurendada asjaomaste asutuste tõhusust ja suutlikkust võitluses varimajandusega

(ebaseaduslik tubakas, kütus, alkohol).

Koostöös Hispaania, mitmete ELi liikmesriikide ja kolmandate riikidega (sh Norra,

Ühendkuningriik, USA), Frontexi ja Europoliga luuakse Euroopa operatiivrühm Hispaania Costa

del Soli piirkonnas, et töötada välja ja rakendada ühine uurimis- ja tegevusstrateegia peamiste

kuritegelike ühenduste vastu.

ISF määruse III lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- toetus spetsialiseerunud riigisiseste üksuste valdkondlikele ja valdkonnaülestele võrgustikele ning

riiklikele kontaktpunktidele, et parandada vastastikust usaldust, oskusteabe, teabe, kogemuste ja

parimate tavade vahetamist ja levitamist ning ressursside ja eksperditeadmiste koondamist

ühistesse pädevuskeskustesse;

- asjaomaste õiguskaitse- ja kohtuasutuste ning haldusasutuste töötajate ja ekspertide haridus ja

koolitus;

16

- seadmete rahastamine.

Rakenduskava rakendamisel võib sõltuvalt tegelikest vajadustest ja olemasolevatest ressurssidest

kaaluda ka teiste ISFi meetmete rakendamist.

ISF määruse IV lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- projektid, mille eesmärk on võidelda raskest ja organiseeritud kuritegevusest tulenevate kõige

suuremate ohtudega ELi poliitikatsükli / EMPACTi operatiivmeetmete raames.

b) Parandada pädevate asutuste vahelist koordineerimist ja suurendada koostööd nii

liikmesriikides kui ka nende vahel ja teiste asjaomaste osalejatega, näiteks spetsialiseerunud

riiklike üksuste võrgustike, liidu võrgustike ja koostööstruktuuride ning liidu keskuste

kaudu.

Nõukogu rakendusotsuse nr 10388/19 kohaselt soovitati Eestil Schengeni hindamise käigus

töötada politseikoostöö raames välja interaktiivne ja kasutajakeskne e-õppe lahendus, mis põhineb

praktilistel olukordadel ja juhtumitel. Soovitust plaanitakse rakendada ISFi vahendite toel.

2019. aastal tuvastas ja abistas Sotsiaalkindlustusamet 67 inimkaubanduse ohvrit või väidetavat

ohvrit. See on märkimisväärne kasv võrreldes 2018. aastaga, mil tuvastati 12 (väidetavat) ohvrit.

Uurimisorganid ja ohvriabiorganisatsioonid teevad pidevalt rahvusvahelist koostööd

kriminaalasjades ja inimkaubanduse kahtluse korral. Koostöö on oluline, et hoida vastuvõtvates

riikides ära inimkaubandus ja peatada kuritegelikud organisatsioonid, kes vahendavad prostituute

ja ebaseaduslikku tööjõudu. Eestis on üks prioriteet operatiivtasandi koostöö ELi väliste

partneritega, et luua ja säilitada usaldusväärseid kontakte, pakkuda koolitust, tutvustada PPA välja

töötatud seiremeetodeid ning vajaduse korral luua ühiseid uurimismeeskondi.

ISF määruse III lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- toetus spetsialiseerunud riigisiseste üksuste valdkondlikele ja valdkonnaülestele võrgustikele ning

riiklikele kontaktpunktidele, et parandada vastastikust usaldust, oskusteabe, teabe, kogemuste ja

parimate tavade vahetamist ja levitamist ning ressursside ja eksperditeadmiste koondamist

ühistesse pädevuskeskustesse;

- asjaomaste õiguskaitse- ja kohtuasutuste ning haldusasutuste töötajate ja ekspertide haridus ja

koolitus.

Rakenduskava rakendamisel võib sõltuvalt tegelikest vajadustest ja olemasolevatest ressurssidest

kaaluda ka teiste ISFi meetmete rakendamist.

c) Parandada liidu tasandil asutustevahelist koostööd liikmesriikide vahel ning liikmesriikide

ja asjaomaste liidu organite, ametite ja asutuste vahel, samuti koostööd riiklikul tasandil iga

liikmesriigi pädevate asutuste vahel.

Oluline on uurida võimalusi parandada piiriülest politsei- ja tollikoostööd, kaasates selleks

asjaomaseid ELi asutusi (nt Europol ja Eurojust). Eesti tolli ja politsei kriminaaluurijad peavad

olema paremini ettevalmistatud ja informeeritud, et ennetada kõiki raskeid ja rahvusvahelisi

kuritegusid ning nende vastu võidelda (nt uimastikuriteod, inimkaubandus, tulirelvakaubandus,

euro võltsimine ja rahapesu). Ametnike praktika Europoli Eesti kontaktasutuses on kasulik viis,

kuidas edendada ja parandada riikide operatiivkoostööd (nt ühiste uurimisrühmade, ühiste

analüüsimeeskondade, kontrollialuste saadetiste ja muude Europoli pakutavate võimaluste, näiteks

17

analüüsitöö failide ja turvalise teabevahetusvõrgu kasutamine) ning koostööd Europoli Euroopa

terrorismivastase võitluse keskusega, sh CBRN, demineerimise ja eritaktika valdkonnas.

Eesti tolliasutustele on kasulik tihedam operatiivkoostöö teiste ELi tolliametitega, et koguda ja

analüüsida paremini teavet, teha kindlaks organiseeritud kuritegevuse sihid ning koguda tõendeid

kriminaalmenetluses. Sel eesmärgil võidakse korraldada õppekülastusi.

Et valmisolekut, varajast hoiatamist ning ohule ja kriisidele reageerimist tõhustada, on vaja

suurendada koostööd CBRN sündmustes osalevate ametiasutuste vahel, sh arendada rahvusvahelist

koostööd RescEU, ELi CBRN tegevuskava ning CBRN ja terrorismiohtude hindamise raames.

Sellele aitavad kaasa koolitused, suunised, määrused, väljaõpe, juhtumiuuringud, ühised

uurimismeeskonnad, testid ning nii riiklikud kui ka välismaised seminarid ja konverentsid.

Samuti on vaja tõhustada asutustevahelist koostööd päästeasutuste esmareageerijate vahel, et

turvaintsidentidega seotud väljakutsetele ohutult reageerida. See on päästeasutuste põhiväljaõppest

põhjalikum, kuid tähtis, sest on seotud ka politseiteenistusega. Samavõrd olulised on teiste

liikmesriikide partnerite teadmised ja parimad tavad.

ISF määruse III lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- meetmed, mis parandavad vastupanuvõimet tekkivatele ohtudele, mille hulgas on keemiline,

bioloogiline, radioloogiline ja tuumaoht;

- toetus spetsialiseerunud riigisiseste üksuste valdkondlikele ja valdkonnaülestele võrgustikele ning

riiklikele kontaktpunktidele, et parandada vastastikust usaldust, oskusteabe, teabe, kogemuste ja

parimate tavade vahetamist ja levitamist ning ressursside ja eksperditeadmiste koondamist

ühistesse pädevuskeskustesse;

- asjaomaste õiguskaitse- ja kohtuasutuste ning haldusasutuste töötajate ja ekspertide haridus ja

koolitus.

Rakenduskava rakendamise käigus võib sõltuvalt tegelikest vajadustest ja olemasolevatest

ressurssidest kaaluda ka teiste ISFi meetmete rakendamist.

Tegevustoetus. Praegu ei nähta selle erieesmärgi raames tegevustoetuse kasutamist ette. Vajaduse

korral võidakse seda siiski kaaluda.

Finantsinstrumendid. Ei kohaldata.

2.3. Erieesmärgi nimetus

Toetada liikmesriikide suutlikkuse suurendamist kuritegevuse, terrorismi ja radikaliseerumise

ennetamisel ja nende vastu võitlemisel ning julgeolekuintsidentide, riskide ja kriiside

juhtimisel, muu hulgas eri liikmesriikide avaliku sektori asutuste, asjaomaste liidu organite,

ametite või asutuste, kodanikuühiskonna ja erasektori partnerite tihedama koostöö kaudu

2.3.1. Erieesmärgi kirjeldus

Käesolevas punktis kirjeldatakse iga erieesmärgi puhul esialgset olukorda, peamisi katsumusi ja

pakutakse välja lahendused, mida fondist toetatakse. Siin kirjeldatakse, milliseid

rakendusmeetmeid fondi toetusel käsitletakse; samuti esitatakse esialgne loetelu meetmetest, mis

kuuluvad AMIFi, ISFi või BMVI määruse artiklite 3 ja 5 kohaldamisalasse. Täpsemalt:

tegevustoetuse puhul esitatakse selgitus kooskõlas AMIFi määruse artikliga 21, ISFi määruse

artikliga 16 või BMVI määruse artiklitega 16 ja 17. See sisaldab soovituslikku loetelu

toetusesaajatest koos nende seadusjärgsete kohustustega ja põhiülesandeid, mida tuleb toetada.

Rahastamisvahendite kavandatud kasutamine, kui kohaldatav.

Et tugevdada riigi ametiasutuste suutlikkust võidelda kuritegevuse vastu ja seda ennetada, on

põhiline, et inimesed oleksid motiveeritud, kvalifitseeritud ja informeeritud. Seega on oluline

korraldada koolitusi, jagada teadmisi ja suurendada teadlikkust. Samuti ei saa eirata vajadust

ajakohase tehnoloogia, sh IT-tööriistade ja -seadmete järele.

Erieesmärgi raames on kavas rakendada järgmisi meetmeid: a) õiguskaitse koolitused, õppused ja

vastastikune õpe ning d) asjakohaste seadmete hankimine, et suurendada valmisolekut,

vastupidavust ja piisavat reageerimist julgeolekuohtudele. Võimalikes tegevustes rakendatakse ka

meetmeid b ja c.

Vajaduse korral võib rakenduskava elluviimise hilisemas staadiumis kaaluda meetme e

rakendamist. Rakenduskava koostamise ajal ei ole selle meetme tegevusi ette nähtud.

ISFi määruse II lisas toodud meetmete rakendamiseks tehakse järgmisi tegevusi.

a) Suurendada koolituse, õppuste, vastastikuse õppe võimaluste ja spetsiaalsete

vahetusprogrammide pakkumist ja parimate tavade jagamist liikmesriikide pädevates

asutustes ja nende vahel, sealhulgas kohalikul tasandil ning koostöös kolmandate riikidega

ja muude asjaomaste osalejatega.

Eri valdkondades on pidev vajadus süstemaatilise koolituse järele. Õiguskaitseametnike koolitus

on olnud oluline ISF Police’i programmis 2014–2020 ning see on prioriteetne ka perioodil 2021–

2027. Samuti on Eesti saanud palju kasu CEPOLi koolitustest, kuna asutused on osalenud CEPOLi

veebiseminaridel, e-koolitustes, töötubades, vahetusprogrammides ja elanikele mõeldud

tegevustes. Siiski on vaja ka erikoolitusi, mida CEPOL ei paku. Erikoolitusi kavatsetakse rahastada

ISFi toel. ISFi rakenduskava koolitustegevuste kavandamisel konsulteeriti CEPOLi riikliku

üksusega, et vältida kattumist. Erikoolitusi on kavas rahastada ISFi rakenduskavast, kuna CEPOL

korraldab üldiselt alg- või kesktaseme koolitusi ja keskendub vähem konkreetsematele teemadele,

mis on mõeldud kitsamate valdkondade tippspetsialistidele. Lisaks on CEPOLi koolituste ja

õppekülastuste osalejate arv piiratud ning ei ole alati piisav, eriti spetsialiseerunud üksuste puhul.

Tõhus küberkuritegevuse vastane võitlus nõuab sihipäraseid meetmeid ja on üks ISFi rakenduskava

prioriteete. Andmevargus ja -lekked, lunarahanõuded ning veebipõhised maksepettused on

muutunud Eestis tavaliseks probleemiks. Kodanikud, ettevõtted ja riigiasutused peavad olema

teadlikud IKT ohtudest ning valmis ja võimelised end kaitsma. Küberkuritegevuse uurimiseks on

22

vaja digitõendite kasutamise eriteadmisi ja -oskusi. Asjaomastes õiguskaitseasutustes peab olema

piisavalt inimesi, kes on koolitatud ja valmistatud ette selleks, et koguda ja analüüsida vajalikku

teavet ning tagada tegevuste kestlikkus. Selleks on kavas rahastada nii meetme a kui ka meetme d

tegevusi: koolitusi ja õppekülastusi ning vajaliku tehnoloogia ja seadmete soetamist.

Aastate jooksul on teadlikkus korruptsioonivastasest tegevusest kasvanud. Eestis registreeriti 2017.

aastal 291, 2018. aastal 376 ja 2019. aastal 72 korruptsioonikuritegu. Raskete

korruptsioonijuhtumite avastamine on endiselt prioriteet. Kuna korruptsioon on Eestis üha enam

peidetud, on vaja spetsialiseeruda ning süstemaatiliselt koguda ja analüüsida teavet, mis võib aidata

selliseid kuritegusid paremini avastada ja isikuid nende eest vastutusele võtta. Korruptsiooni ja

teiste varjatud kuritegude uurimiseks on vaja koolitusi, parimate tavade vahetamist

välispartneritega, elektroonilise teabe ulatuslikku kogumist ja tõendite analüüsi. Rõhk on ka

teadlikkuse suurendamisel ja valdkonnauuringutel, et teha paremaid poliitilisi otsuseid.

CBRN-i intsidentide tõenäosus on tõusnud, mistõttu vajab valmisolek CBRN-i intsidentideks

suuremat tähelepanu, sealhulgas vastava oskusteabe ja oskuste tõhustamist selles valdkonnas.

ISF määruse III lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- asjaomaste õiguskaitse- ja kohtuasutuste ning haldusasutuste töötajate ja ekspertide haridus ja

koolitus, võttes arvesse operatiivvajadusi ja riskianalüüse, tehes koostööd CEPOLiga ja vastavalt

vajadusele Euroopa õigusalase koolituse võrgustikuga, sealhulgas haridus ja koolitus

ennetuspoliitika alal, pöörates erilist tähelepanu põhiõigustele ja mittediskrimineerimisele;

- toetus spetsialiseerunud riigisiseste üksuste valdkondlikele ja valdkonnaülestele võrgustikele ning

riiklikele kontaktpunktidele, et parandada vastastikust usaldust, oskusteabe, teabe, kogemuste ja

parimate tavade vahetamist ja levitamist ning ressursside ja eksperditeadmiste koondamist

ühistesse pädevuskeskustesse;

- töötajate kulude rahastamine, kes on seotud fondist toetatavate meetmetega, või meetmetega, mis

nõuavad töötajate kaasamist tehnilistel või julgeolekuga seotud põhjustel.

Rakenduskava rakendamise käigus võib sõltuvalt tegelikest vajadustest ja olemasolevatest

ressurssidest kaaluda ka teiste ISFi meetmete rakendamist.

ISF määruse IV lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- projektid, mille eesmärk on ennetada ja tõkestada küberkuritegevust, eelkõige internetis toimuvat

laste seksuaalset kuritarvitamist, ning kuritegusid, mille puhul internet on peamine tõendite

kogumise platvorm.

b) Kasutada ära liikmesriikide ja muude asjaomaste osalejate, sealhulgas

kodanikuühiskonna ressursside ja teadmiste ühendamisel ning parimate tavade jagamisel

tekkivat koosmõju, näiteks ühiste pädevuskeskuste loomise, ühiste riskihindamiste

väljatöötamise või ühisoperatsioonide korraldamiseks loodavate ühiste tugikeskuste kaudu.

Mitte kogu äärmuslus ei too kaasa vägivalda, kuid ühiskonnale, eriti vanematele, õpetajatele,

noorsootöötajatele ja ametnikele, on oluline olla eeskujuks ja sekkuda, et tagada mõlema poole

turvalisus. Tähtis on ametnikke ja spetsialiste koolitada, et nad tunneksid ära radikaliseerumise

esimesed märgid ning suudaksid hinnata riske ja nende põhjal delikaatselt tegutseda, austades

samal ajal üksikisikute põhiõigusi. Siseministeeriumi ja Sisekaitseakadeemia juhtimisel on

koolitatud üle 2000 esmataseme praktiku. Tulevikus kavandatakse koolitustele läheneda

süstemaatilisemalt. On vaja jätkata spetsialistide asjatundlikkuse arendamist, toetades ka

23

rahvusvahelisi võrgustikke, nagu radikaliseerumisalase teadlikkuse võrgustik ja Euroopa

strateegilise teabevahetuse võrgustik, ning tutvuda partnerriikide tavadega. Et kasutada

Sisekaitseakadeemia kui CEPOLi Eesti riikliku üksuse potentsiaali täielikult ära, võiks selle

kujundada siseturvalisuse tippkeskuseks, näiteks radikaliseerumise ja terrorismivastase võitluse,

organiseeritud kuritegevuse ja küberkuritegevuse vastase võitluse ning tehisintellekti kasutamise

valdkonnas. Keskus toetaks valdkonna planeerimist ja strateegilist arengut teadusuuringute,

analüüsi ja koolituse kaudu.

ISF määruse III lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- asjaomaste õiguskaitse- ja kohtuasutuste ning haldusasutuste töötajate ja ekspertide haridus ja

koolitus, võttes arvesse operatiivvajadusi ja riskianalüüse, tehes koostööd CEPOLiga ja vastavalt

vajadusele Euroopa õigusalase koolituse võrgustikuga, sealhulgas haridus ja koolitus

ennetuspoliitika alal, pöörates erilist tähelepanu põhiõigustele ja mittediskrimineerimisele;

- toetus spetsialiseerunud riigisiseste üksuste valdkondlikele ja valdkonnaülestele võrgustikele ning

riiklikele kontaktpunktidele, et parandada vastastikust usaldust, oskusteabe, teabe, kogemuste ja

parimate tavade vahetamist ja levitamist ning ressursside ja eksperditeadmiste koondamist

ühistesse pädevuskeskustesse.

Rakenduskava rakendamise käigus võib sõltuvalt tegelikest vajadustest ja olemasolevatest

ressurssidest kaaluda ka teiste ISFi meetmete rakendamist.

ISF määruse IV lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- projektid, mille eesmärk on radikaliseerumist ennetada ja selle vastu võidelda.

c) Edendada ja arendada meetmeid, kaitsemeetmeid, mehhanisme ja parimaid tavasid, et

varakult kindlaks teha, kaitsta ja toetada tunnistajaid, õigusrikkumisest teatajaid ja

kuriteoohvreid ning luua selleks partnerlussuhteid ametiasutuste ja muude asjaomaste

osalejate vahel.

Eesti suurim katsumus inimkaubanduse vastases võitluses on see, et ennetustegevust ei rahastata

piisavalt. Ennetamine, teadlikkuse suurendamine ja koolitus toimuvad väikeses mastaabis ja

aeglaselt. Inimkaubanduse vastu võitlevatele ametnikele on vaja ühiskoolitusi, et suurendada

pädevust ja parandada ELi acquis’ rakendamist. Vaja on suurendada Eestisse sisenevate

kolmandate riikide kodanike ja koolinoorte teadlikkust. Samuti on asjakohane koolitada

õiguskaitseasutusi. Tööinspektsiooni ja Sotsiaalkindlustusameti andmetel on suurenenud

välismaalastega seotud töövaidluste arv ning nende välismaalaste arv, kes otsivad abi

inimkaubanduse vastase võitluse abitelefonilt. Koolide jaoks on töötatud välja koolitusvahendid,

mida toetati ISFi programmi 2014–2020 projekti raames, kuid koolitust tuleb laiendada, et hõlmata

ka koolidesse suunduvaid koolitajaid, kes muudaksid noorte suhtumist ja käitumist tulevikus, et

hoida ära inimkaubandust.

Samuti suurendatakse riiklikul ja kohalikul tasandil inimkaubanduse vastase võitlusega tegelevate

ametnike, vabatahtlike ja teiste teatajate pädevust ja oskusi, et tõsta võimalike ohvrite tuvastamise

taset Eestis tervikuna.

On vaja teha teavituskampaaniaid ning tihedat koostööd kommunikatsiooniettevõtete ja

haridusasutustega, et hoida ära laste seksuaalset kuritarvitamist. Valdkondadevaheliseks

ennetamiseks on kavas kasutada eksperditeadmisi ja tegevusi. Eesmärk on uurida, kuidas pooli

ennetustegevustega uuel ja uuenduslikul viisil hõlmata. Samuti on vaja suurendada teadlikkust

24

täiskasvanute seas, kes puutuvad kokku noorte väärkohtlemise ohvritega ja annavad neile

asjakohast abi (nt politseinikud, lastekaitseametnikud, õpetajad, arstid ja vanemad). Pakume laste

abitelefonide töötajatele erikoolitusi, kuidas anda nõu internetis toime pandud laste seksuaalse

kuritarvitamise juhtumite kohta. Koolitustel võetakse arvesse nõukogu järeldusi laste seksuaalse

kuritarvitamise vastu võitlemise kohta (12862/19). Kui ohvrite tuvastamise suutlikkus kasvab,

paraneb tegevuse varajases etapis ka laste kaitse ja kurjategijate kinnipidamine. Kolmas

tegevussuund on uurida ja hinnata programme ja teenuseid, mis takistavad laste seksuaalset

kuritarvitamist Eestis.

ISF määruse III lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- meetmed, mis parandavad vastupanuvõimet tekkivatele ohtudele, mille hulgas on veebipõhiste

kanalite kaudu toimuv ebaseaduslik kauplemine;

- asjaomaste õiguskaitse- ja kohtuasutuste ning haldusasutuste töötajate ja ekspertide haridus ja

koolitus, võttes arvesse operatiivvajadusi ja riskianalüüse, tehes koostööd CEPOLiga ja vastavalt

vajadusele Euroopa õigusalase koolituse võrgustikuga, sealhulgas haridus ja koolitus

ennetuspoliitika alal, pöörates erilist tähelepanu põhiõigustele ja mittediskrimineerimisele;

- toetus spetsialiseerunud riigisiseste üksuste valdkondlikele ja valdkonnaülestele võrgustikele ning

riiklikele kontaktpunktidele, et parandada vastastikust usaldust, oskusteabe, teabe, kogemuste ja

parimate tavade vahetamist ja levitamist ning ressursside ja eksperditeadmiste koondamist

ühistesse pädevuskeskustesse.

Rakenduskava rakendamise käigus võib sõltuvalt tegelikest vajadustest ja olemasolevatest

ressurssidest kaaluda ka teiste ISFi meetmete rakendamist.

ISF määruse IV lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- projektid, mille eesmärk on ennetada ja tõkestada küberkuritegevust, eelkõige internetis toimuvat

laste seksuaalset kuritarvitamist, ning kuritegusid, mille puhul internet on peamine tõendite

kogumise platvorm.

d) Omandada vajalikke seadmeid ning rajada või ajakohastada spetsiaalseid õppevahendeid

ja muud olulist julgeolekuga seotud taristut, et suurendada valmisolekut, vastupidavust ja

avalikkuse teadlikkust ning reageerida adekvaatselt julgeolekuohtudele.

CBRN ning ohtlike materjalide intsidentideks valmisolekule tuleb pöörata rohkem tähelepanu,

võttes arvesse ohtude muutumist Euroopas. Hinnangute kohaselt on Eestis ikka üle poole miljoni

teise maailmasõja aegse lõhkekeha. Nendele ligipääs on Eesti siseturvalisuse seisukohalt suur

probleem ning kujutab endast võimalike terroriaktide ja üksikkurjategijate poolest ohtu.

Ebaseaduslik e-kaubandus, sh ohtlike ainete import, suurendab ka CBRN intsidentide tõenäosust.

Asjakohane oskusteave ja oskused, tehniline suutlikkus, (isikukaitse)vahendite kättesaadavus ja

erisõidukid (sh lõhkeainete kõrvaldamise valdkonnas) on samuti olulised. See on tihedalt seotud

kodanike ja taristu kaitsega, kriisiohjega ja strateegilise kommunikatsiooniga. ISFi programmi

2014–2020 raames tehti hulk sarnaseid tegevusi (nt pommirobotite ja pommiülikondade ostmine),

millel oli kõnealuses valdkonnas väga hea mõju.

ISFi programmis 2014–2020 toetati kiirgusohu, inimese põhjustatud kriisis näiteks radioaktiivse

pommi eest varajase hoiatamise süsteemi ajakohastamist. Süsteemi plaanitakse veelgi uuendada ja

lisada uusi funktsioone, näiteks radioaktiivsete väärisgaaside analüüs.

25

Valdkond, kuhu Eesti kavatseb lähitulevikus rohkem panustada, on mehitamata õhusõidukite laiem

ja süstemaatilisem kasutamine kuritegevusvastases võitluses. See parandaks märkimisväärselt

suutlikkust avastada ja reageerida turvalisusintsidentidele ning aitaks kaitsta inimesi ja avalikku

ruumi. Samuti aitab see politseil tugevdada koostööd ELi õiguskaitseasutustega võitluses raske ja

organiseeritud kuritegevusega.

Turvalisusega seotud taristu füüsiline kaitse ja/või vastupidavuse tagamine on kriisi ajal ülioluline.

Tuleb tagada PPA, Päästeameti ja teiste kriisiolukordades olulisi teenuseid osutavate

institutsioonide tegevuse järjepidevus. Samuti on tähtis suurendada kohtuekspertiisi suutlikkust.

ISF määruse III lisaga seotud meetmete esialgne loetelu:

- meetmed, mis parandavad vastupanuvõimet tekkivatele ohtudele, mille hulgas on keemiline,

bioloogiline, radioloogiline ja tuumaoht;

- seadmete ja sidesüsteemide rahastamine.

Rakenduskava rakendamise käigus võib sõltuvalt tegelikest vajadustest ja olemasolevatest

ressurssidest kaaluda ka teiste ISFi meetmete rakendamist.

Tegevustoetus. Eesti kavatseb kasutada tegevustoetust, et aidata saavutada ISFi rakenduskava

eesmärke. Tegevustoetus võimaldab säilitada kogu liidu jaoks olulist suutlikkust.

On vaja suurendada keskkriminaalpolitsei küberkuritegude büroo töötajate arvu, et parandada

teabe kogumise ja analüüsimise suutlikkust. Personalikulud kaetakse tegevustoetusest. Lõplik

kasusaaja on PPA, kes vastutab seaduse järgi riigi turvalisuse ja avaliku korra eest ning kuritegude

uurimise ja ennetamise eest.

Finantsinstrumendid. Ei kohaldata.

2.4. Tehniline abi

2.4.1. Kirjeldus

Viide: ühissätete määruse artikli 22 lõike 3 punkt f, artikli 36 lõige 5 ja artikkel 95

ISFi rakenduskavas seatud eesmärkide ja näitajate saavutamiseks peab olema piisavalt vahendeid.

Ühissätete määruse artikli 36 lõike 5 alusel eraldatavat tehnilist abi kasutatakse:

 programmitöö ettevalmistamiseks, rakendamiseks, seireks ja kontrolliks;

 suutlikkuse suurendamiseks;

 hindamiseks ja uuringuteks, andmete kogumiseks;

 teavitus- ja teavitamistegevusteks.

Ettevalmistamine, rakendamine, seire ja kontroll

Tehnilist abi kasutavad korraldusasutuse ja auditeerimisasutuse pädevad ametnikud. Siseministeeriumis töötab kuni kümme korraldusasutuse ametnikku, kes

vastutavad AMIFi, ISFi ja BMVI vahendite kasutamise eest, ja kaks auditeerimisasutuse audiitorit. Tehnilist abi kasutatakse korraldusasutuse ja

auditeerimisasutuse personalikuludeks, koolituseks, seminaridel ja kohtumistel osalemiseks jne.

Suutlikkuse suurendamine

Et taotlejad ja toetusesaajad saaksid projekte koostada ja ellu viia, on vaja neid nõustada ja jagada parimaid tavasid. Seepärast tagab korraldusasutus tehnilise

abiga ka taotlejate ja toetusesaajate pideva koolituse, nõustamise ja juhendamise BMVI rahastuse kasutamise vallas, sh suurendades teadlikkust põhiõiguste

kaitsest ja võrdse kohtlemise tagamisest.

Taotlejate ja toetusesaajate koormuse vähendamiseks kasutatakse tehnilist abi uute IT-lahenduste jaoks, mille kaudu hakkab käima taotlemine, aruandlus ja kulude

hüvitamine. Infosüsteem e-SFOS ehk toetuse haldamise register võetakse kasutusele selleks, et lihtsustada tehnilisi menetlusi, vähendada taotlejate, toetusesaajate

ja haldusasutuste töökoormust ning aidata seega rohkem kaasa sisulistele tegevustele. E-rakendustes kasutatakse nii palju kui võimalik ühekordse sisestamise

põhimõtet. Lisaks võimaldab infosüsteem korraldusasutusel jälgida tulemuste saavutamist, kulukohustuste ja väljamaksete edenemist, auditite mahtu ja tulemusi,

haldus-, finants- ja kohapealseid kontrolle, eeskirjade eiramist ning tagasinõudeid.

29

Hindamine ja uuringud, andmete kogumine

Oluline on tagada eesmärkide õigeaegne täitmine ja vahendite tõhus kasutamine. Seetõttu on nähtud ette kaks hindamist: vahehindamine 2024. aastal ja

lõpphindamine 2030. aastal. Vajaduse korral kasutatakse tehnilist abi ka lisauuringuteks ja andmete kogumiseks.

Teave ja teavitamine

Tehnilist abi kasutatakse ka teavitamistegevusteks (vt punkt 7).

Ühissätete määruse artiklis 37 sätestatud tehnilist abi ei ole plaanis kasutada.

1. Puuetega inimeste õiguste kaitse tagamine on jagatud eri

strateegiate vahel. Puuetega inimeste õiguste kaitse poliitika

strateegia on seatud „Heaolu arengukavas 2023–2030“. Sihtrühma

ees seisvaid probleeme, poliitikameetmeid ja asjakohaseid

näitajaid on kirjeldatud sama arengukava programmides. Samuti

katab PIK nõudeid strateegia „Eesti 2035“.

Statistikat puudega inimeste olukorrast kogub Statistikaamet Eesti

sotsiaaluuringu, Eesti tööjõu-uuringu, tööelu uuringu ja leibkonna

eelarve uuringu kaudu ning asjakohaste tervise-, vananemis- ja

pensioniteemaliste uuringutega. Sotsiaalministeerium avaldab

regulaarset sotsiaalhoolekande statistikat ja vajaduse korral teeb

konkreetseid uuringuid.

2. Ligipääsetavus on „Eesti 2035“ strateegiline siht ja

aluspõhimõte PIK artikli 9 tähenduses. Tervikliku

ligipääsetavuspoliitika väljatöötamiseks lõi Vabariigi Valitsus

2019. aastal ligipääsetavuse rakkerühma. Võrdõiguslikkuse

õiguste konventsiooni rakendamise edendamise, kaitse ja seire

ülesandeid. 2019. aastal moodustati õiguskantsleri juurde puuetega

inimeste nõukoda, mille eesmärk on nõustada õiguskantslerit

puuetega inimeste õiguste edendamise, kaitse ja järelevalve

teemal. Nõukoda on moodustatud ÜRO PIK artikli 33 lõike 3

alusel.

ISFi projektide puhul on arutelude kontaktpunkt seirekomisjon,

mis koosneb asjaomastest katusorganisatsioonidest ja vajaduse

korral laiendab Siseministeerium partnerite nimekirja.

Seirekomisjoni kohtumistele on kaasatud Eesti Puuetega Inimeste

Koda, õiguskantsler ning soolise võrdõiguslikkuse ja võrdse

kohtlemise volinik.

Seirekomisjoni tööprotseduuride kohaselt, mis kinnitati

seirekomisjoni 25.10.2022 koosolekul, annab õiguskantsleri

esindaja vajadusel seirekomisjoni koosolekul ülevaate esitatud

kaebustest, mille puhul ei vasta fondidest toetatav tegevus ÜRO

Viide: ühissätete määruse artikli 22 lõike 3 punkt h

ISFi rakenduskava koostamine põhineb avatusel. Eesti sisejulgeolekupoliitika praeguste ja

tulevaste katsumuste väljaselgitamisse ja lahenduste pakkumisse kaasati kõik asjaomased

sidusrühmad.

ELi vahendite kavandamiseks ei ole eraldi protsessi. Planeerimine on allikaneutraalne. Riiklike

vajaduste ja nende rahastamise strateegiline planeerimine toimub keskselt (sh partnerite ja

sidusrühmade kaasamine).

ELi eelarveperioodi 2021–2027 on kavandatud käsikäes pikaajalise riikliku katusstrateegia

„Eesti 2035“ ja STAKi koostamisega. Ülevaate strateegiate koostamisest leiab veebilehtedelt

https://valitsus.ee/strateegia-eesti-2035-arengukavad-ja-planeering/strateegia ja

https://siseministeerium.ee/ministeerium-ja-kontaktid/kaasamine-osalemine/siseturvalisuse-

arengukava-2020-2030.

Protsess algas 2018. aasta kevadel. 2018. aasta lõpus ja 2019. aasta alguses konsulteeriti teiste

ministeeriumide ja katusorganisatsioonidega. Lisaks peeti arutelusid kõigis maakondades.

Aruteludele kutsuti maakondlikud turvalisuse nõukogud, muud maakondade turvalisusega

seotud institutsioonid, huvirühmad ja kodanikuühiskonna organisatsioonide esindajad, linna- ja

vallajuhid ning maakonna arenduskeskused. Aruteludest tehti kokkuvõte ja neid kasutati

STAK 2020–2030 koostamisel.

Arengukava esitati avalikuks aruteluks spetsiaalse veebiplatvormi kaudu. Sama süsteemi

kasutati, et saada kõigi ministeeriumide ja Riigikantselei heakskiit ning Eesti Linnade ja

Omavalitsuste Liidu arvamus.

See, kuidas strateegiates seatud eesmärkide saavutamist rahastatakse, otsustatakse iga-aastasel

riigieelarve arutelul, mis tagab koostoime riiklike ja muude vahenditega ning võimaldab vältida

topeltrahastamist.

41

STAKi rakendamist jälgib valdkondlik komitee, mis koosneb asjaomaste asutuste ja partnerite

esindajatest.

Et BMVI, ISFi ja AMIFi rakendamist jälgida, on loodud ühine seirekomisjon. See koosneb

samadest osalejatest, kes on STAKi valdkondlike komiteede liikmed. Lisaks on hõlmatud

sotsiaalse kaasatuse, põhiõiguste, puuetega inimeste õiguste, soolise võrdõiguslikkuse ja

mittediskrimineerimise edendamise eest vastutavad asutused.

7. Teabevahetus ja nähtavus

Viide: ühissätete määruse artikli 22 lõike 3 punkt j

ELi fondidest teavitamise eesmärk on tagada avatud ja asjakohase teabevahetuse kaudu

avalikkuse teadlikkus ELi toetusest.

Riigi Tugiteenuste Keskus (edaspidi RTK) on loonud ühtse veebiportaali, mis võimaldab

juurdepääsu kõigile ühissätete määrusega hõlmatud programmidele. Veebiportaal tehakse

kättesaadavaks ka inglise ja vene keeles, kuna uuringud näitavad, et vene keelt kõnelev

elanikkond on toetusmeetmetest vähem teadlik.

Et tagada rakenduskava elluviimise läbipaistvus, on Siseministeerium loonud

siseturvalisuspoliitika fondidele pühendatud veebilehe, kus avaldatakse rakenduskava

eesmärgid, tegevused ja tulemused.

Ühtne veebiportaal ja siseturvalisuspoliitika fondide veebileht vastab WCAG 2.0 AA

juurdepääsetavuse suunistele. See tähendab, et on rakendatud tehnilisi lahendusi ja sisuloome

põhimõtteid, mis aitavad kasutada veebilehte nägemis-, kuulmis-, füüsilise, kõne-, kognitiivse,

keele-, õppimis- ja neuroloogilise puudega inimestel.

Siseturvalisuspoliitika fondide taotlusvoorude ja projektide tulemuste edastamiseks kasutatakse

ka sotsiaalmeediat.

RTK teabevahetuskoordinaator juhib ELi fondide riiklikku kommunikatsioonivõrgustikku.

Siseministeeriumis nimetatakse siseturvalisuspoliitika fondide kommunikatsiooniametnik.

Kommunikatsioonitegevusteks kasutatakse tehnilist abi.

Näitajad

1. Audiolugude jutustamine viie taskuringhäälingu kaudu, et suurendada teadlikkust

projektidest, mida rahastatakse siseturvalisuspolitika fondidest. Netisaated on osa

Siseministeeriumi avaldatud regulaarsetest netisaadetest.

2. Vähemalt neli olulist teavitustegevust, et tutvustada saavutusi sihtrühmale.

3. Digitaalse meediasisu, sealhulgas visuaalsisu, näiteks illustratsioonide ja

videomaterjalide loomine vähemalt neli korda. Kogu avalikustatav meediasisu on

esitatud ja kättesaadav ligipääsetaval moel. Sõltuvalt digitaalse meediasisu olemusest

42

kasutatakse teabe edastamiseks kirjeldustõlget, sisule lisatakse subtiitrid ja/või

viipetõlge.

Eesti siseturvalisuspoliitika fondide jaoks sotsiaalmeediakanalite (nt Facebook ja Youtube)

kasutamine, et jõuda laiema publikuni. Sisu loomine ja ristviitamine sotsiaalmeediakontodel.

Summary of the proposed amendment

Estonia proposes a standard programme amendment of the Internal Security Fund (ISF) programme for the additional allocation from the Mid-

Term Review.

The proposed amendment contributes mainly to the achievement of the ISF specific objective 1 “Exchange of information” and in minor part to

the achievement of the ISF specific objective 3 “Preventing and combating crime” of Regulation (EU) 2021/1149 of the European Parliament

and of the Council of 7 July 2021 establishing the Internal Security Fund. All proposed amendments are in line with the enabling conditions and

horizontal principles referred to in Regulation (EU) 2021/1060.

A version of the programme with tracked changes is enclosed for transparency.

Proposed amendment has been approved by the Monitoring Committee on 13.08.2025 (Protocol No 14-13.2/109-1; signed on 15.08.2025)

Relevant adjustments have been made in the background information, the narrative part of the programme as well as in the financing and indicators

tables.

The additional Mid-Term Review allocation will be used to:

1) tackle Scheval recommendation No 102 “Introduce an automated data loader to the Europol Information System and ensure that criminal

information obtained within ongoing investigations is uploaded when it relates to serious and organised crime and terrorism” under specific

objective 1;

2) enhance Prüm II (Regulation (EU) 2024/982 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 March 2024 on the automated search

and exchange of data for police cooperation) data exchange capacity under specific objective 1;

3) implement the API Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2025/13 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 December 2024 on the

collection and transfer of advance passenger information for the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of terrorist offences

and serious crime) and improve the Passenger Name Record system under specific objective 1;

4) enhance CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) trainings under specific objective 3.

The output and result indicators have been adjusted due to the additional above-mentioned activities and due to changes in indicator methodology.

The latter includes mainly the output indicator “Number of items of equipment purchased”, which includes now only the equipment to which an

inventory number is assigned and the output indicator “Number of participants in training activities”, where only the officials trained are counted.

Relevant result indicators have been adjusted accordingly.

In addition, references to legislation, policy strategies, web links and relevant stakeholders updated in the table 9 of the horizontal enabling

conditions.

1. Programme strategy: main challenges and policy responses

Reference: points (a)(iii), (iv), (v) and (ix) Article 22(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 (CPR)

In Estonia, there has been a significant change in the national strategic planning process compared to

the programming of the 2014-2020 period. All strategic planning of the national needs and their

financing is central; there is no separate process for programming the EU funds. The planning is source-

neutral; the mapping of important strategic goals is done without determining the source of budget. The

funding is decided on a rolling basis during the yearly budgeting exercises. This fundamental change in

process has also affected the compilation and structure of the BMVI programme.

The-long term umbrella strategy Estonia 2035 provides a coherent guidance for policy-makers. The

objectives will guarantee that Estonians will remain wise, active, and healthy, the Estonian society will

remain caring, cooperative, and open, and our economy will remain strong, innovative, and responsible.

The focus is also on assuring that environment is caring, safe, and high-quality, and that our nation is

innovative, trustworthy, and people-centered. All national strategies and action plans stem from the

Estonia 2035.

The main national strategy covering the border management and migration goals is the Internal Security

Development Plan (ISDP). The ISDP has been compiled in close partnership with all relevant partners

and stakeholders. In Estonia, the responsibility for implementing border management and migration

policies is intertwined between several ministries and areas of government. The ISDP 2020-2030 takes

into account the respective EU policies and goals and is complimented by the Foreign Policy

Development Plan, Estonian Digital Society Development Plan, etc. The ISDP consists of five thematic

four-year programmes, the latest one covers the period of 2026–2029. Border management and visa

policy related activities are described in the programmes: “Citizenship, Migration and Identity

Management Policy”, “Strong Internal Security” and Prompt and Professional Assistance”.

Estonia ensures the surveillance of the Schengen external border. Border guards operate on the basis of

the Schengen acquis and the principles of Integrated Border Management, important elements of which

are patrols and risk analysis, border control, cross-border crime investigations in cooperation with other

countries' internal security authorities, liaison officers in third countries and other international

cooperation.

In addition to border guards, a big role in facilitating legitimate border crossings for bona fide travelers,

while preventing irregular migration and security risks, is played by foreign representations of Estonia.

Schengen visas are issued in accordance with the EU visa code ensuring the necessary safeguards and

mechanisms to effectively protect the privacy and fundamental rights of travelers, particularly when it

comes their private life and personal data.

The biggest challenges for border management and visa process in Estonia are building up border

infrastructure at the Estonian-Russian land border, ensuring fluent but secure border traffic;

ensuring interoperability and operation of the EU large-scale IT systems (EES, ETIAS, SIS, VIS),

upgrading EUROSUR and maritime surveillance system for effective protection of the EU external

border.

The measures to address these challenges include developments and continuity of information and

communication technologies, smart and innovative technological tools, increased analytical capacity

(artificial intelligence, CIRAM), cooperation within and between different parties and authorities as

well as improved national capabilities incl. through training and purchase of equipment. Staffing the

relevant units with sufficient number of skilled professionals is also a necessity.

In previous years implementing relevant EU acquis was mostly through national budget. As

complimentary resources, the External Borders and Visa instrument of the Internal Security Fund

(ISFB) funding also provided valuable aid.

The same logic is used for period 2021-2027 – although the BMVI scope foresees measures for the

most of the issues in the area of border management and visa, it is not feasible to overcome all the

current challenges solely with the help of the BMVI funding. This programme seeks to address these to

the maximum extent possible while also leaving a degree of flexibility to be able to respond to future

events and changing priorities, e.g. the programme can also cover measures benefiting the target

population affected by the Ukraine war. The types of intervention matching the “0 EUR” amount in

financing tables of the programme correspond to those for which possible future needs linked to the

implementation of the Thematic Facility are anticipated, in line with Article 22(4)(d) CPR. The actions

EN 5 EN

to be financed will depend on the resources available and priorities at the time. The precise actions and

the source of financing will be agreed during the implementation of the programme in accordance with

national procedures. Synergies with other funds (e.g. AMIF, ISF, CPF, CCEI) and agencies’ toolbox

will be sought and overlapping avoided by the thorough communication between ministries, European

Commission, agencies and other relevant stakeholders.

As the challenges remain mostly the same, the BMVI programme will focus on similar activities as

those of ISFB in the period of 2014-2020. However, the implementation of the Pact on Asylum and

Migration requires the support of new activities in line with the National Implementation Plan and new

Union acquis, with particular reference to developments connected with the screening of Third-Country

Nationals, but also in the area of EURODAC for border management purposes. These activities will be

funded via the Pact Specific Action and will contribute in particular to Building Block 2 “A new system

to manage migration flows at the EU external borders” and Building Block 1 “EURODAC” of the

Common Implementation Plan. The support will be given in grants. The BMVI programme design and

strategy takes into account the administrative capacity and governance rules for efficiency and wherever

possible simplification measures will be implemented to reduce the administrative burden and enhanced

efficiency, effectiveness and economy. The BMVI programme provides for a number of actions that

support increasing the surveillance of the EU external borders and border control capabilities. The

actions contribute to latest requirements set out in the EBCG 2.0 Regulation, the improvement of

information exchange, ensuring control of the external border in accordance with the common standards

of the EU and uniform application of the EU acquis. Priority is given to the measures that support either

maintaining or expanding the national capability to manage external borders as well as contribute to

solidarity. For the common visa policy, it is important to continue with regular training of consular staff

to ensure harmonised application of Visa Code and VIS regulation. In parallel additional consular staff

will be hired to enhance the capability to process visas. It is also important to continue to develop and

implement digital visas and systems. Developments related to common Visa Information System of the

EU is a priority.

Actions will be designed and implemented in line with the requirements of the EU Charter of

Fundamental Rights. To ensure equal opportunities so that all people feel equally safe, regardless of

their place of residence, language, gender, race, age, disability, etc target group needs are assessed.

Activities which have or might have significant environmental impact are not financed from the BMVI.

Despite being less than 10% of the total budget, the BMVI programme allocation for specific objective:

visa corresponds to all the needs expressed by all the potential beneficiaries (Ministry of Foreign Affairs

and Police and Border Guard Board) to achieve this objective. Harmonized approach for the issuance of

visas and to facilitate legitimate travel, while helping prevent migratory and security risks will be

achieved in combination of BMVI, Structural Funds and national funding.

State of play of implementation of EU acquis and action plans:

The Estonian National Integrated Border Management (IBM) strategy

IBM is a part of the Enhanced Border Security Program of the ISDP and is developed to fulfill the

national obligation stipulated in the Regulation (EU) 2019/1896 on the European Border and Coast

Guard. The IBM Strategy is accompanied with a specific action plan. The IBM Strategy and Action

Plan are living documents, which are updated when necessary and brought in line with the respective

European and Frontex strategies. National capability development plan is based on the strategic

priorities in the national IBM strategy and other relevant strategies and programmes in the field of

border management. The development of national border management capabilities will among other

things be carried out in the framework of the EBCG capability development planning in accordance

with the EBCG Regulation.

Estonian Police and Border Guard Board (PBGB) is the main authority responsible for the development

and implementation of the IBM in Estonia. The main partners are the Estonian Ministry of Foreign

Affairs, the Tax and Customs Board, the Environmental Board, the Estonian Defense Forces, the

Defense League and the Estonian Internal Security Service.

The national IBM takes fully into account the strategic objectives of the Technical and Operational

Strategy for European Integrated Border management:

1. Reduced vulnerability of the external borders based on comprehensive situational awareness;

2. Safe, secure and well-functioning EU external borders;

3. Sustained European Border and Coast Guard capabilities.

EN 6 EN

Development of the national components of the European Border and Coast Guard (EBCG)

National border and coast guard team for supporting the EBCG is established in the PBGB. Technical

equipment reserve is created. Equipment purchased will be in compliance with technical standards set

out by Frontex. Operational assistance to MSs is provided under Frontex coordination, as necessary.

The PBGB participates in Frontex joint operations, in border interventions and in return related

interventions. Estonia participates in Frontex risk analysis, pooled resources and training standards

development and in other working groups and training events. Deployment of Frontex-, CEPOL- and

eu-LISA-trained and certified experts and advisers contribute to the further development of the Estonian

capability to protect EU external borders. So far Estonia has fulfilled 100% of its obligations towards

Forntex II- and III-category standing corps. Regular information sharing with Agencies is in line with

the agreed format regarding FRAN, EUROSUR and vulnerability assessment. National Coordination

Center (NCC) is responsible for effective information analysis based on CIRAM and information

exchange with EU MSs and Frontex. The further development of national components of EBCG

involve harmonized training of border guards in accordance with the Common Core Curricula for

Border Guards and procurement of operating means, which are in accordance with Frontex standards.

EUROSUR

EUROSUR was installed in the PBGB on 7 November 2012 by the information technology officials of

Frontex. Since October 1 2014, NCC Estonia has been operating as the Single Point of Contact (SPoC)

of the PBGB. The scope of EUROSUR will considerably evolve to cover all aspects related to

information exchange. Implementation of EUROSUR in line with the new features of the new EBCG

Regulation and in particular the following points will be implemented:

• The scope of EUROSUR which now includes systematic reporting related to checks at border

crossing points, air border surveillance and the reporting of available information on secondary

movement.

• Possible evolution of the national coordination centres with enlarged interagency cooperation to

cover the new scope of EUROSUR.

• The evolution of the IT systems software and architecture to meet the new communication

standards and allow machine to machine interconnection.

• The necessary recruitment and training of EUROSUR operators.

• Security evolution and the need to connect the communication network up to EU confidential

which could impact both physical and IT security but also training and personnel.

Large-scale IT-systems and interoperability

Estonia is committed to timely implementation of the smart border package (e.g. Entry-Exit System

(EES), European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), Schengen Information System

(SIS), Visa Information System (VIS) and their interoperability. Estonia is ready to launch the EES.

Central Access Point has been created and projects implementing new SIS and ETIAS regulations are

advancing. While the National Access Point for EURODAC is funded under AMIF, the sectorial

training and upgrade of national border and migration management IT-systems as well as capacity

building, in particular the purchase of equipment that captures biometric data, will be supported via

BMVI. Due attention must be paid to ensuring effective coordination between different national

agencies and other relevant stakeholders and allocation of adequate human and financial resources, as

well as timely execution of procurement and other administrative procedures. Estonia needs to adjust its

workflows and requirement for providing specific training programmes, as the proper implementation

of the IT systems alone is not enough to ensure the success of the new information architecture of the

EU. Also, governance structures need to be in place, national implementation programmes adopted and

working procedures changed.

Scheval recommendations and vulnerability assessment

As of 2019, 4 vulnerability assessment recommendations were pending, all of which have been closed.

Last recommendation (EE005 – CIRAM 2.0 training) was closed in July 5th 2021. The last

comprehensive Schengen evaluation took place in 2023; 102 recommendations were made. Estonian

priorities are measures addressing outstanding shortcomings identified in the Vulnerability

Assessment/Scheval recommendations (i.e improvements of large-scale IT-systems and increasing land

border surveillance capabilities). Measures that take account developments of legislative framework are

foreseen.

EN 7 EN

The Schengen evaluations of Estonia's visa policy took place in 2018 and 2023. One 2018

recommendation funded from BMVI was related to the introduction of a new visa register and was

completed in 2024. Another recommendation for the compliance of the visa register with the data

protection requirements was completed in 2022. 2023 recommendations concerning the shortage of

personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and access rights to the visa information system as well as

issues with data protection will be tackled with the support of the BMVI.

Screening Regulation and the independent monitoring mechanism

As part of the Pact on Asylum and Migration, the Screening Regulation will enter into force in June

2026. It will apply to Third-Country Nationals apprehended crossing the EU external borders

irregularly, disembarking following a search and rescue operation or applying for internal protection at

the external borders. The Screening will also be applied to Third-Country Nationals found within the

territory and having crossed the external border in another member state irregularly. The Screening

includes preliminary health and vulnerability checks, identification and registration of biometric data

into the relevant national and Union databases, security checks, the filling of a screening form and the

referral to the asylum or return procedure. This new Regulation requires substantial investments related

to IT developments, infrastructural developments as well as services costs which will be borne by the

BMVI. This is an area where high synergies are envisaged with AMIF, which will bear the costs related

to the subsequent asylum and return procedures, as well as those of migration management systems

including developments of EURODAC.

The Screening Regulation also mandates Member States to establish an independent monitoring

mechanism for the monitoring of fundamental rights that is equipped with adequate resources to carry

out its tasks. Estonia commits to support the independent monitoring mechanism with national

resources.

Transfer

Estonia transferred 5% of the AMIF initial allocation (1,112,731 €) to the BMVI in line with Article 26

(1) CPR. Estonia ensures that the objectives of the AMIF will be met also after the transfer of 5%. The

2021-2027 AMIF programme considers all the relevant needs of potential beneficiaries that were

mapped during the preparation of national strategies compiled to implement relevant policies. The

integration measures for the third country nationals are complemented and in large part funded by the

ESF+. AMIF transfer in an amount of 1,112,731 € has been used as one additional source to finance

surveillance technology at the EU Eastern border.

2.1. Specific objective: 1. European integrated border management

2.1.1. Description of the specific objective

Estonian IBM model is built on four tiers: activities in third countries; cooperation with neighbouring

countries; border control; and measures at the area of free movement.

The IBM strategy of Estonia is influenced by the 3rd countries in the neighbourhood, taking into account

changes in their political, economic or security situation and the good connection between Estonia and

other EU MSs. There is a high probability that changes in a neighbouring 3rd country will have a

primary impact on the land border; affecting the passenger flow, increase the threats related to cross-

border criminality and other border-related violations or non-traditional threats at the external border.

Therefore, analysis of the IBM system, its functioning, and analysis of vulnerabilities for mitigating

possible risks in every aspect of an identified threat is essential.

Border control measures are based on Schengen best practices. Systematic risk analysis products are

developed using CIRAM. Logically arranged intelligence supports the planning of service and other

border-related activities, with the optimal use of resources in accordance with identified threats,

vulnerabilities and impact. For situational picture, Estonia maintains an effective cooperation in risk

analysis, information exchange and in operational activities with international and EU Agencies, such as

Interpol, EUROPOL, Frontex, EUAA, eu-LISA, etc. and with other states, organisations and bodies.

ISFB funding enabled the procurement of modern, state-of-the art equipment, such as patrol cars, special

transport means, border control and migration surveillance devices, technical capacity needed to check

fingerprint biometrics, multirotors, water crafts, ABC gates, etc. It helped to increase reaction

capability, that has a direct link with the efficiency and quality of border control. Since the technology is

rapidly evolving and vehicles acquired in 2015–2018 are reaching their end of a lifecycle, the BMVI

funding will continue this practice.

The BMVI programme, in addition to other resources, will provide funding for following

implementation measures in the area of border management to tackle the main challenges mentioned in

the Section 1:

• improving border control in line with Article 3(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1896

The length of the Estonian coast line is 3,794 km, sea borders 767 km and land borders, including the

temporary control line between the Republic of Estonia and the Russian Federation, is 338.6 km. BCPs

and BGSs, air squadron, fleet and surveillance systems perform border control at the EU’s external

borders in Estonia. To ensure effective checks and surveillance activities at the external borders,

prevent and detect cross-border crime, maintain the border regime in the economic zone and perform

migration surveillance tasks the border must be covered by technical surveillance.

Novel border control solutions based on biometric data, which will be introduced in the near and distant

future, enable the use of new opportunities in border control but also, the risk of abuse of systems by

criminal environment will increase. The PBGB in cooperation with partners should ensure the

operationality of systems and cyber security while at the same time mitigating the risk of abuse of these

systems by intruders. New methods of smuggling have a direct connection with the future development

of border and coast guard surveillance methods and technology. The use of drones and GPS lighthouses

by wrongdoers is known to the PBGB. The development of technology and the identification of new

methods is connected with overall developments in IT, radars and radiocommunication systems.

The PBGB is building up an external land border infrastructure, including establishing markers at the

borderline. The project is mostly funded from the national budget. Under the BMVI, the coverage of

EU/Schengen external border close to 100% with technical surveillance is a priority and a large part

of initial BMVI allocation has been programmed to meet this goal. The results of the pilot project to find

the most suitable surveillance technology funded from the ISFB are taken into account while purchasing

surveillance cameras and the necessary infrastructure (poles, power cables, etc) will be procured with the

help of the BMVI. Mobile autonomous surveillance solutions will be procured with the support of

BMVI/2021-2023/SA/1.2.1. To improve the capacity to detect and intercept unauthorized cross-border

EN 10 EN

unmanned aerial vehicles as well as to enable undisrupted data flows and improved situational awareness

from the Eastern border 24/7, the funds of the Specific Actions BMVI/2024/SA/1.4.2/002 and

BMVI/2024/SA/1.1.5/001 will be used.

Estonia has 46 international BCPs at its external border: 7 at land borders, 32 at sea/lake borders and 7 at

air borders. According to the data, 66% (2017), 80% (2020) and 68% (2024) of the total number of

passengers crossed the border at land borders, 25% (2017), 6% (2020) and 0.5% (2024) at sea and 9%

(2017), 13% (2020) and 31% (2024) at air borders. Analyses provide that BCPs located at external land

border bear the main traffic load. In 2017, 7.4 million, in 2020 1.3 million and in 2024 1.6 million

travelers crossed the Estonian external land border. Almost 50% (2017), 63% (2020) and 69% (2024) of

these border crossings took place in Narva-1 Road BCP. Therefore, it is important to keep the balance

between the fluent border crossing of travelers and the security of the state and the EU taking into

account the likely development of the legislative framework.

The current border security situation at the external borders is stable. As of 2020, the level of irregular

immigration threat measured by its magnitude and likelihood remains moderate at external land and air

borders and low at sea borders. In 2019 there were 228, in 2020 166, in 2021 303 and in 2024 179

irregular crossings. Nevertheless, the situation at the Lithuanian-Belarus border in 2021 and the war

which started in February 2022 in Ukraine illustrate how quickly the situation might change, if

unpredictable events occur. Until COVID-19 pandemic the passenger flow and cross-border trade were

in an upward trend. In 2019 the number of regular crossings was 8,277,528, in 2020 1,585,775, in 2021

1,099,974 and in 2024 1,570,594. The increase is predicted again after the security environment

stabilizes. To maintain fluent border crossing of persons and goods in conditions of increasing cross-

border movement accompanied by evolving cross-border criminality, illegal migration and other

changing threats that affect internal security require remarkable efforts from border management

authorities whose resources and capacities are limited therefore new technological solutions needs to be

sought and used (e.g. up-to-date ABC-gates).

In addition, in order to ensure preparedness to manage potentially high level of migration at the external

borders, as well as comply with the Screening Regulation, Estonia needs to create capacity related to the

identification, health and vulnerability assessment, security checks and registration in the relevant

databases of Third-Country nationals. This will include the creation of capacity in multipurpose centres.

Such capacity can be used, if need be, also by TCNs in the asylum and return procedures, including

border procedures, with the support of AMIF.

Part of the Pact allocation will also be used for IT-developments to enable screening and to enable

smooth and reliable data exchange between national authorities. This includes the development of the

interconnectivity between ILLEGAAL and RAKS for automated document sharing, the creation of an

interface between court e-File system RAKS and ILLEGAAL, development of a translation module

which will be used by border guards and for all procedures related to the Pact.

EUROSUR system is in a continuous development. It should enable good inter-agency cooperation in

data collection at the BCP level between customs and border guards as well as enhanced cooperation and

information exchange with the Latvian, Lithuanian and Finnish border authorities in the future. Estonia

participates in the development of systems for improving situational awareness at the EU level. At the

national level, the focus is to develop IT systems jointly with different authorities and ministries, thereby

supporting the exchange of information and cooperation between authorities. The development is

foreseen to take place in line with the development of the Schengen Borders Code and other legal acts as

regards EUROSUR, aiming at enhanced interoperability. While referred national IT-systems are mostly

funded under state budget, BMVI is used to equip local control-centres (LCC) (e.g. monitors, control-

desks).

As of October 1 2014, NCC Estonia operates as the Single Point of Contact (SPoC) of the PBGB.

Additionally, besides NCC Estonia, it houses SIRENE Bureau, National Europol (ENU), INTERPOL

(NCB), Prüm NCP, FRONTEX NFPoC and Internal Duty Service for other Police matters. Such solution

allows access to the broadest range of relevant national and international law enforcement databases to

efficiently manage direct information exchange between the competent national and international

authorities. The SPoC unit operates according to the SPOC manual.

EN 11 EN

The NCC delivers the EUROSUR National Situational Picture (NSP)/ European Situational Picture

(ESP) to all involved police units in the PBGB at all levels and to other national authorities such as the

Tax and Customs Board, the Estonian Internal Security Service, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of

Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior, the Defense Forces, Europol and SIRENE Bureau. The

renovation of the Luhamaa’s LCCs will be covered by the state budget, BMVI support is used for the

activities which are pre-requisite for construction works (i.e preparation of design document/blueprints).

• enhancing inter-agency cooperation at national level among the national authorities

responsible for border control or for tasks carried out at the border, and at EU level

between the Member States, or between the Member States, on the one hand, and the

relevant Union bodies, offices and agencies or third countries, on the other

Estonia participates in Joint Investigation Teams and in operations focusing on cross-border crime in

bilateral or multilateral forms or through EU Agencies. There is continuous cooperation with EU

Member States, Frontex and other EU institutions at a required level and with the main national

authorities responsible for border management such as the Tax and Customs Board, the Maritime

Administration, the Environmental Inspectorate, the Estonian Defence Forces, the Defence League, etc.

to ensure cost effectiveness, to avoid overlaps in tasks and to enhance the joint use of capacity in case of

unpredictable situations putting external borders under pressure. Continuous training for Tax and

Customs Board officials who perform I-level border control will be carried out.

The PBGB participates in EU Working Groups activities and cooperates with international organizations

such as IOM, OSCE, UNHCR, and in other forms of inter-agency cooperation — BSRBCC (Baltic Sea

Region Border Control Cooperation), BSTF (Baltic Sea Task Force) and in the work of Senior Officials

of Baltic Council of Ministers.

• Setting up, operating and maintaining EU large-scale IT systems in the area of border

management, in particular the Schengen Information System (SIS II), the European Travel

Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), the Entry-Exit System (EES), and

Eurodac for border management purposes as well as including the interoperability of these

large-scale IT systems and their communication infrastructure, and actions to enhance data

quality and the provision of information

Cooperation for the implementation of EU large-scale IT systems is taking place with eu-LISA. Large

scale IT systems (EES, ETIAS, SIS, IO) will build on and follow up on the progress made under Internal

Security Fund. In addition to regular projects, BMVI/2022/SA/1.5.7/003 – BMVI/2022/SA/1.5.7/007,

BMVI/2021/SA/1.5.4/008 and BMVI/2024/SA/1.5.1/001 will be implemented. While the National

Access Point for EURODAC is funded under AMIF, part of the Pact allocation will also be used to

ensure links of the relevant IT systems with EURODAC and purchase of equipment that captures

biometric data will be supported via BMVI.

• Developing the European Border and Coast Guard by supporting national authorities

responsible for border management to pursue measures related to capability development

and common capacity building, joint procurement, establishment of common standards

and any other measures streamlining the cooperation and coordination between the

Member States and the European Border and Coast Guard Agency

Participation in Frontex operations since 2006 has had an undeniable impact on improving the efficiency

of border management and on ensuring the internal security of the state. Substantial future enlargement

of Frontex requires readiness to allocate additional staff for participation in its activities. For better co-

ordination of setting up the Standing Corps a SNE has been seconded to the Frontex. Training

courses are organized for new officers replacing seconded officers of Category 2 and 3. All large

scale equipment purchased under BMVI will be registered in the TEP and deployed by Frontex (e.g

drones, 20 SUVs procured under BMVI/2023-2024/SA/1.2.2/001).

• ensuring the uniform application of the Union acquis on external borders, including

through the implementation of recommendations from quality control mechanisms such as

the Schengen evaluation mechanism in line with Regulation (EU) No 1053/2013,

EN 12 EN

vulnerability assessments in line with Regulation (EU) 2019/1896, and national quality

control mechanisms

Border guard education will ensure interoperability and the high quality of professional competences

enabling proper implementation of the Schengen Acquis and ensures effective border management at

national and EU external borders. PBGB experts participate in the development and updating joint

curricula and training materials in Frontex (CCC, CCC for Mid-Level Officers, European Joint Masters

on Strategic Border Management, CIRAM, IBM, etc.).

In their daily service, all border control officials follow the principles of the Code of Ethics for Officials

approved on 11 March 2015. Continues attention will be paid to those principles in trainings.

The modernisation of border control infrastructure, the introduction of innovative and beyond the state-

of-the-art technology, increasing the electronic control of travellers and the extension of visa

liberalisation regimes create new challenges for the training of staff and for the reliability of border

control systems. In addition to internal trainings, possibilities offered by CEPOL, eu-LISA, Frontex will

be used.

Quality control is vital to ensure that the performed services adhere to a defined set of quality criteria or

meet the requirements of the Schengen evaluation mechanism and vulnerability assessment. BMVI funds

(especially funds allocated after Mid-Term Review and SAC contribution) will be used in addition to

national budget to eliminate deficiencies identified during the Schengen Evaluations.

Indicative list of actions:

• Measures related to development of EUROSUR (e.g. purchase of equipment such as

monitors, control desks, design documents/blue prints for construction works of LCC

renovation)

• Measures related to interoperability package and EU large-scale IT systems (e.g.

development of ETIAS, EES, SIS-Recast, EURODAC)

• Measures aiming at the development of the national components of EBCG (e.g. SNE

secondment to Frontex)

• Border management trainings to implement IBM and ensure uniform Schengen acquis incl.

courses on fundamental rights

• Investments to border surveillance equipment compliant with Frontex standards (e.g.

patrol vehicles, UAVs, cameras, drones, drone detectors), priority will be given to

investments for EE-RU land border surveillance system. All large-scale equipment will be

put at Frontex disposal

• Investments to border control and migration monitoring equipment with technical support

(document readers, biometric data technology, microscopes, etc.)

• Measures linked to Annex III 1(i) to establish screening capacity (renovation and

transformation of current detention centre, purchase of mobile houses, provision of

subsistence, accommodation and services for subjects of screening also via qualified and

specialized personnel, IT-developments to enable screening and ensure interoperability

with relevant IT systems etc.)

• Measures to ensure follow up of future Schengen recommendations insofar as the

deficiencies identified and the action plan concerned identifies operational measures to

remedy them that require funding

Results: External land and sea border is covered by innovative, state-of-the-art, integrated border

surveillance system. Border checks and border surveillance are supported by advanced, mobile and

interoperable technical systems and solutions to guarantee more efficient and reliable border control.

Enhanced capacity to develop and make the best use of the state-of-the-art technologies and large scale

information systems (EES, ETIAS etc) in a unified and harmonized way. Border guards actions and IT

EN 13 EN

systems are in line with Schengen Acquis and fundamental rights avoiding biased stereotypical decisions.

The principles of data protection, gender equality and non-discrimination are respected and the special

needs of vulnerable persons are taken into account. The control of third-country nationals crossing the

external borders is strengthened. All third-country nationals subject to the screening are identified and

checked against the relevant databases, receive a preliminary health and vulnerability assessment from

qualified and specialized personnel and referred to the appropriate procedure within the time defined by

the Screening Regulation.

________________________________

Operating support:

In Estonia the PBGB and the Development and IT Centre of the Ministry of the Interior (SMIT) are

public authorities responsible for accomplishing the tasks and services which constitute a public service

for the Union in the domain of borders and migration surveillance. The statutory tasks of the PBGB

include the development and implementation of the IBM in Estonia. The statutory tasks of SMIT include

development and maintenance of respective ICT systems.

To facilitate legitimate border crossings and to ensure a high-level protection of the external borders and

necessary information exchange the use of relevant ICT-systems and modern technology are essential.

All ICT equipment, also border control and suveillance tools need upgrades and regular maintenace to

operate smoothly and securely. Estonia plans to use operation support for border and migration control

ICT systems and equipment maintenance as well as repair costs as follows:

• Maintenance and upgrades of automatic border control (PBGB)

With the help of ISFB 16 ABC gates were installed in Tallinn airport and Narva -1 BCP in February

2021. 2 gates were installed in Saatse BCP. The maintenance and upgrades of the e-gates are included in

the lease contract signed between PBGB and the service provider. The contract was funded from the

ISFB until the end of 2022. Since 01.01.2023 the BMVI has been used for operating the e-gates. Part of

the Mid-Term Review allocation will be used to renew the rental of the e-gates, as well as to increase

2.1. Specific objective: 2. Common visa policy

2.1.1. Description of the specific objective

In Estonia the implementation of the EU visa policy is mainly a responsibility of the PBGB and the

Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The EU visa policy makes it easier to travel to the European Union. At the same time, EU visa policy

mitigates security risks and the risks associated with irregular migration to the EU. In an area without

internal borders, strong and efficient checks on persons entering the EU are needed to detect anyone who

may pose a security risk. To ensure that such persons do not pass the EU’s borders unnoticed, decision

makers need to have the right information at the right time to do their job of protecting EU citizens.

At the same time, visa application process must be efficient, client friendly and security measures must

comply with data protection requirements.

To ensure harmonized approach with regard to the issuance of visas and to facilitate legitimate travel

and, while helping prevent migratory and security risks, Estonia has decided to implement following

measures funded from BMVI:

• Setting up, operating and maintaining large-scale IT systems pursuant to Union law in the

area of the common policy on visas, in particular the Visa Information System (VIS)

including the interoperability of these large-scale IT systems and their communication

infrastructure, and actions to enhance data quality and the provision of information

To ensure that sufficient security information is available about persons travelling to the EU with a visa,

the Visa Information System (VIS) needs an upgrade. Estonia joined VIS in 2011 and introduced the

system in all of the foreign representations where visas are issued. VIS Mail, VIS Mail 2, VISA Code

Plus and further development of the visa consultation system have been rolled out over time.

State budget, ERDF and ISFB funding was and is used to implement VIS. The specialized VIS

developing team in the Development and IT Centre of the Ministry of the Interior is consistently making

smaller adjustments to the system. The upgraded system needs to be fully interoperable with other EU

information systems. Estonia has decided to finance next generation VIS and its interfaces with other

EU large-scale IT systems under BMVI as a priority.

• providing efficient and client-friendly services to visa applicants while maintaining the

security and integrity of the visa procedure, and fully respecting the human dignity and the

integrity of the applicant or of the visa holder in accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation

(EC) No 767/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 concerning

the Visa Information System (VIS) and the exchange of data between Member States on

short-stay visas

• ensuring the uniform application of the Union acquis on visas, including the further

development and modernisation of the common policy on visas and

• supporting Member States in issuing visas, including visas with limited territorial validity

as referred to in Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 on humanitarian grounds, for

reasons of national interest or because of international obligations

The MFA and the Estonian Internal Security Service have assessed that the representations of Estonia

comply with security requirements and the environment is client-friendly. All investments regarding the

infrastructure that might be needed in the future, will be funded from the state budget.

All round the world, there are 19 Estonian representations processing Schengen visas. Estonia represents

4 Member States (Lithuania, Finland, Sweden and Denmark) in processing Schengen visas in 3

countries.

In 2022 61 employees in Estonian MFA dealt with visa questions (32 consuls, 4 expat technical staff and

25 local technical staff). Due to budgetary constraints, the number of staff has decreased to 48 (22

consuls, 1 expat technical staff, 20 local technical staff and 5 persons in the Consular Department of the

MFA). In 2024 12,125 Schengen visa applications were processed and 8,811 visas issued in the foreign

EN 20 EN

representations of Estonia. In 2020 the respective numbers were 25 555 and 24,970 and in 2019 145,711

and 143,582. The decrease was stemmed from COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia’s full-scale war in

Ukraine and the related restriction. Should the environment change for the better, and free travel is

possible again, there is a high possibility that numbers will grow.

Officials dealing with visa processing are trained regularly to ensure harmonized application of the Visa

Code, the VIS Regulation, falsified documents etc. Trainings and internship missions were partially

funded by the ISFB and this will be continued under BMVI.

In addition to training, new technological solutions should be created and used.

The European Commission initiated the transition to a digital visa procedure based on a proposal made

by the Estonian Presidency. An analysis report was prepared in 2019 and a working group on digitization

was convened. Eu-LISA and DG HOME worked on the project to develop and test a prototype of the EU

online visa application portal. The prototype of the e-application environment was introduced in 2021.

EE will implement the EU visa online application platform after its completion.

• developing different forms of cooperation between Member States in visa processing

The exchange of best practices and experts, including the secondment of experts, as well as boosting

the capacity of European networks to assess, promote, support and further develop Union policies and

objectives is important.

Since the beginning of 2021, Estonia is represented by 18 Schengen Member States (Austria, Belgium,

Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherland, Poland,

Portugal, Sweden, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland), in 100 countries.

Since 2011 Estonia has signed co-operation contracts with an external service provider in 19 countries.

Under current contracts, 231 visa centers provide services in Australia, Belarus, China, Canada, Egypt,

Fiji, India, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkey, UK,

Ukraine, United Arab Emirates and in US.

Starting from 10 March 2022 Russian and Belarusian citizens can apply for visa only in exceptional

cases: wishing to visit family members in Estonia, as well as on humanitarian grounds, e.g., serious

illness or funeral of a close relative.

Estonia sees BMVI funding useful for enhancing consular co-operation between Member States. Study

visits to embassies of the Member States representing Estonia in a third country could be organized. The

Visa Code foresees the obligation to monitor external service providers. Visa centers audits performed

in cooperation with other Member States could be financed. This form of cooperation is already in

practice (for example in Austria and Germany, Germany, the Netherlands, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania

were planning to audit the visa center in Istanbul at the end of April 2020, but due to Covid pandemic it

was postponed) and could be further pursued.

Indicative list of actions:

• VIS related developments (priority)

• Development of digital visa and online application in cooperation with the Commission

• Consular staff trainings and internships

• External service providers audits

• Measures to ensure follow up of future Schengen recommendations insofar as the

deficiencies identified and the action plan concerned identifies operational measures to

remedy them that require funding

_____________________

Operating support: Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs will hire or deploy additional consular staff to

Estonian representations processing Schengen visas, where the workload has increased to enhance

capability to process Schengen visas and organize visa related work more effectively. Operating support

will cover the personnel costs.

Financial instruments will not be used for visa objective.

EN 21 EN

Results: Visa officers are trained and provide harmonized client friendly service in line with visa code.

Visa application process is efficient and secure. Border crossing for bona fide travelers is smooth and

security risks and the risks associated with irregular migration to the EU are mitigated. Developments in

digital visas and e-applications are accessible to people with special needs. Web-solutions comply with

WCAG 2.0 requirements. When using the VIS, each competent authority shall ensure that it does not

discriminate applicants and visa holders on grounds of sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief,

disability, age or sexual orientation and fully respects the human dignity of the applicant or visa holder.

2.2.1. Description

Technical assistance is the precondition that sufficient means and resources are available to achieve the

objectives and indicators set in the BMVI programme.

TA is used for

• Preparation, implementation, monitoring and control

• Capacity building

• Evaluation and studies, data collection

• Information and communication

Preparation, implementation, monitoring and control

TA is used by the competent officials of Responsible Authority (RA) and Audit Authority (AA). In the

Ministry of the Interior there are approximately 10 RA officials responsible for implementation of

HOME funds and 2 AA auditors. The TA is used for the RA and AA personnel costs, training,

participation in workshops and meetings, etc.

Capacity building

Consultation and sharing of best practices are key factors in successful implementation so that applicants

and beneficiaries have the ability to prepare and implement projects. Therefore, the RA also ensures

continuous training, counseling and guidance of applicants and beneficiaries funded by the TA.

To reduce the burden on applicants and beneficiaries, the TA is used for novel IT solutions of

application, reporting and reimbursement. The SFOS information system will be introduced to simplify

the technical procedures, reduce the workload of applicants, beneficiaries and administration, and thus

contribute more to substantive activities. The principle of single entry is used as far as possible for

electronic applications. In addition, the information system enables the RA to monitor the achievement

of results, the progress of commitments and disbursements, the volumes and results of audits,

administrative, financial and on-the-spot controls, irregularities and recoveries.

Evaluation and studies, data collection

It is important to ensure that objectives are met in time and resources are used efficiently. Therefore two

evaluations are foreseen: the mid-term evaluation in 2024 and final evaluation in 2030. If needed,

resources could be used for studies and data collection.

Information and communication

The TA is also used for communication and publication activities (see p 7.)

6. Partnership

Reference: point (h) of Article 22(3) CPR

Preparation of the BMVI programme is based on the principle of transparency. All relevant stakeholders

were given an opportunity to contribute to resolving Estonia's current and future challenges in

implementing external borders and visa policy.

In Estonia all strategic planning of the national needs and their financing is central. There is no separate

process (incl. involvement of partners and stakeholders) for programming the EU funds. The planning is

source-neutral; the mapping of important strategic goals is done in the process of developing national

strategies.

Planning for the 2021-2027 has been conducted hand in hand with preparing the long-term national

umbrella strategy "Estonia 2035" and the “Internal Security Development Plan”. An overview of

compiling the strategies is found on following websites: https://www.riigikantselei.ee/et/Eesti2035 and

https://www.siseministeerium.ee/et/STAK2030.

The process started in the spring of 2018. At the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019, consultations

with other ministries and umbrella organizations took place. Additionally, discussions were held in all

counties. County Security Councils, other institutions related to internal security in the county, interest

groups and representatives of civil society organizations, city and rural municipality leaders, and the

county development centers were invited to the discussions. The discussions were summarized and used

in the preparation of the “Internal Security Development Plan 2020–2030”.

The development plan was submitted for public consultation through the dedicated web platform. The

same system was used to get an approval from all ministries and the Government Office, and an opinion

of the Association of Estonian Cities and Municipalities.

The financing for meeting the goals set in strategies are decided during the annual discussions of national

budget, which guarantees synergy with national and other resources and enables to avoid double

financing.

The implementation of the Internal Security Development Plan is monitored by the sectoral committee

which consists of representatives from relevant authorities, intermediate bodies and partners.

For the Pact National Implementation Plan the interministerial working group was established in June

2024 by decree of the Minister of the Interior. All ministries were responsible for involving relevant

stakeholders in their field. The working Group meetings took place once a month, resulting in prioritized

list of actions and financial needs regarding the Pact. In addition, a webinar for the stakeholder was held

in April 2025 to which representatives of 10 stakeholders (including the European Migration Network,

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Chancellor of Justice) participated.

There is a common committee to monitor the implementation of the BMVI, ISF and AMIF. This

monitoring committee consists of the same parties which are members of the sectorial committees of the

Internal Security Development Plan. In addition, bodies responsible for promoting social inclusion,

fundamental rights, rights of persons with disabilities, gender equality and non-discrimination are

involved.

EN 41 EN

7. Communication and visibility

Reference: point (j) of Article 22(3) CPR

The communication of EU funds aims to ensure target group awareness of EU support through

comprehensive, open and relevant communication.

A single website portal providing access to all programmes covered by CPR will be established by the

State Shared Service Centre (SSSC). The website portal will be made available in English and Russian

as well, since surveys show that the Russian-speaking population is less aware of support measures.

The Ministry of the Interior ensures the continuation of dedicated website for the HOME funds covering

the programmes’ objectives, activities, available funding opportunities and achievements. Estonia will

ensures transparency on the implementation of the national programme and publishes a list of actions

supported by each programme.

Both the single website portal as well as HOME funds website are designed and constructed to comply

with the WCAG 2.0 AA Accessibility Guidelines. This means that certain technical tools and content

creation principles have been used to help consumers with visual, hearing, physical, speech, cognitive,

language, learning, and neurological disabilities use the content of the website.

A Facebook page is used to communicate HOME funds’ open calls for proposals and achievements of

projects.

The communication coordinator in the SSSC will lead the national communication network to ensure

central visibility, transparency and communication activities. Furthermore, it will hold a yearly national

Europe Day in association with the European Commission Representation in Estonia.

A dedicated HOME funds communication officer is appointed within the Ministry of the Interior.

Technical Assistance is used for communication activities.

Indicators:

1. Audio storytelling through five (5) podcasts to rise awareness of the projects financed from the

HOME funds during the new period. Podcasts will be part of the regular podcasts published by the

Ministry of the Interior.

2. At least four (4) major information activities during the new period to present the achievements for the

target audience.

3. At least four (4) digital media content created, including visual content such as illustrations and video

materials to introduce the HOME funds in Estonia.

4. New social media channels (Facebook, Youtube) developed for the Home funds in Estonia to reach

out to a wider audience. Creating new content and cross-referencing on other similar social media

1. Programmi strateegia: peamised katsumused ja poliitilised lahendused

Viide: määruse (EL) 2021/1060 (ühissätete määrus) artikli 22 lõike 3 punkti a alapunktid iii, iv, v ja ix

Selles osas selgitatakse, kuidas programm aitab lahendada riigi tasandil kindlaks tehtud peamisi

katsumusi, tuginedes kohalike, piirkondlike ja riiklike vajaduste hindamisele ja/või strateegiatele.

Antakse ülevaade asjaomase liidu õigustiku rakendamise seisust ning liidu tegevuskavadega

saavutatud edusammudest ning kirjeldatakse, kuidas fondi kaudu toetatakse nende arendamist

programmitöö perioodil.

Võrreldes Euroopa Liidu (edaspidi ka EL) eelarveperioodi 2014–2020 kavandamise ajaga, on

riiklikus strateegilises planeerimises toimunud oluline muutus. Riiklike vajaduste ja nende

rahastamise strateegiline planeerimine toimub keskselt. ELi vahendite kavandamiseks ei ole eraldi

protsessi. Eelarve koostatakse allikaneutraalselt ja oluliste strateegiliste eesmärkide

kindlakstegemisel ei määrata katteallikat. Rahastamine otsustatakse iga-aastase eelarve koostamise

käigus. Selline põhimõtteline muudatus on mõjutanud ka piirihalduse ja viisapoliitika rahastu

(edaspidi BMVI) rakenduskava koostamist ja struktuuri.

Poliitikakujundajatele annab ühtse suuna pikaajaline riigi arengustrateegia „Eesti 2035“.

Arengustrateegia eesmärgid aitavad tagada, et eestlased on targad, aktiivsed ja terved, Eesti

2

ühiskond hooliv, koostöövõimeline ja avatud ning meie majandus tugev, uuenduslik ja

vastutustundlik. Kõik riiklikud strateegiad ja tegevuskavad tuginevad „Eesti 2035“ sihtidele.

Piirihalduse ja rände eesmärke hõlmav peamine riiklik strateegia on siseturvalisuse arengukava

(edaspidi STAK), mis on koostatud tihedas koostöös kõigi asjaomaste partnerite ja sidusrühmadega.

Vastutus piirihalduse ja rändega seotud poliitika rakendamise eest on Eestis jagatud mitme

ministeeriumi ja valitsemisala vahel. STAKis 2020–2030 arvestatakse valdkondliku ELi poliitika

ja eesmärkidega ning seda täiendavad näiteks „Eesti välispoliitika arengukava 2030“ ja „Eesti

digiühiskond 2030“. STAK koosneb viiest neljaastasest programmist, viimane versioon katab

ajavahemikku 2026–2029. Piirihalduse ja viisapoliitikaga seotud tegevused on kirjeldatud

programmides “Eesti arengut toetav kodakondsus-, rände- ja identiteedihalduspoliitika”, “Kindel

sisejulgeolek” ja “Kiire ja asjatundlik abi”.

Eesti valvab Schengeni välispiiri. Piirivalvurid tegutsevad, järgides Schengeni piirieeskirju ja

integreeritud piirihalduse põhimõtteid, mille olulised osad on patrull, riskianalüüs, piirikontroll,

piiriülese kuritegevuse uurimine koostöös teiste riikide sisejulgeolekuasutustega,

kontaktametnikud kolmandates riikides ja muu rahvusvaheline koostöö.

Heausksete reisijate seadusliku piiriületuse lihtsustamisel ning samal ajal ebaseadusliku rände ja

julgeolekuriskide vältimisel on piirivalvurite kõrval suur osa ka Eesti välisesindustel. Schengeni

viisad antakse välja kooskõlas ELi viisaeeskirjaga, millega tagatakse vajalikud kaitsemeetmed ja

mehhanismid, et kaitsta reisijate eraelu puutumatust ja põhiõigusi, eelkõige seoses nende

isikuandmetega.

Eesti suurimad piirihalduse ja viisamenetluse katsumused ELi välispiiri kaitsmisel on

piiritaristu rajamine Eesti-Vene maismaapiirile, sujuva, kuid turvalise piiriliikluse tagamine,

ELi suuremahuliste IT-süsteemide (nt riiki sisenemise ja riigist lahkumise süsteem (edaspidi

EES), Euroopa reisiinfo ja -lubade süsteem (edaspidi ETIAS), Schengeni infosüsteem (edaspidi

SIS) ja viisainfosüsteem (edaspidi VIS)) ja koostalitlusvõime toimimise tagamine ning Euroopa

piiride valvamise süsteemi (edaspidi EUROSUR) ja mereseiresüsteemi ajakohastamine.

Meetmed, mida nende katsumustega toimetulekuks võetakse, hõlmavad info- ja

kommunikatsioonitehnoloogia arengut ja kestlikkust, nutikaid ja uuenduslikke tehnoloogilisi

lahendusi, suuremat analüütilist suutlikkust (tehisintellekt, ühtne integreeritud riskianalüüsi

mudel (edaspidi CIRAM)), koostööd eri pooltega ametiasutustes ja nende vahel ning riigi võimete

parandamist, sealhulgas koolitusi ja seadmete ostmist. Samuti on vaja mehitada asjaomased

üksused piisava hulga kvalifitseeritud spetsialistidega.

Varasematel aastatel on valdkondlikke ELi õigustikust tulenevaid ülesandeid ja katsumusi

rahastatud peamiselt riigieelarvest. Lisaks on väärtuslikku abi saadud ka ELilt Sisejulgeolekufondi

välispiiride ja viisade rahastamisvahendi (edaspidi ISFB) kaudu.

Sama loogikat järgitakse ajavahemikul 2021–2027. Kuigi BMVI kohaldamisalas on nähtud ette

meetmed enamiku piirihalduse ja viisadega seotud küsimuste lahendamiseks, ei ole rahastu mahu

tõttu võimalik rahastada kõiki praegusi vajadusi üksnes BMVIst. Rakenduskavaga püütakse

esitatud valdkondlikke vajadusi katta nii palju kui võimalik, jättes samas teatava paindlikkuse, et

reageerida tulevastele sündmustele ja võimalikele muutuvatele prioriteetidele. Võimalikud

tulevased rakendusmeetmed on kooskõlas määruse (EL) 2021/1060 artikli 22 lõike 4 punktiga d

märgitud tabelites 3 ja 6 0 euroga, et lisaraha saamisel tagada võimalike kulude tagasiulatuv

abikõlblikkus. Täpsed tegevused ja nende rahastamisallikad lepitakse kokku riiklike protsesside

3

kohaselt, arvestades koostoimet muude fondidega (nt Varjupaiga-, Rände- ja Integratsioonifond

(edaspidi AMIF), Sisejulgeolekufond (edaspidi ISF), ühtekuuluvuspoliitikafondid ning

tollikontrolliseadmete rahastu). Ministeeriumide, Euroopa Komisjoni, ametite ja muude

asjaomaste sidusrühmade teabevahetusega välditakse tegevuste topeltrahastamist.

Kuna piirihalduse ja viisapoliitika katsumused on jäänud peamiselt samaks, keskendutakse ka

BMVI rakenduskavas sarnastele tegevustele, mida rahastati ELi eelarveperioodil 2014–2020

ISFBst. Lisanduvad varjupaiga- ja rändehalduse reformi riikliku rakenduskavaga seotud tegevused,

mis tuleb ellu viia kooskõlas uue liidu õigustikuga. Erilist tähelepanu pööratakse kolmandate

riikide kodanikele tehtava taustakontrolli võime tõstmisele, aga ka varjupaiga- ja rändeasjade

andmebaasi “EURODAC” arendamisele piirihalduse eesmärgil. Neid tegevusi rahastatakse

erimeetme kaudu ning need aitavad kaasa eelkõige rändepakti 2. ploki „Uus süsteem rändevoogude

haldamiseks ELi välispiiridel“ ja 1. ploki „EURODAC“ ellu viimisele.

Toetust jagatakse toetuse andmise tingimuste õiguasaktide ja toetuslepingute alusel. BMVI

rakenduskava elluviimisel kasutatakse võimaluse korral lihtsustamismeetmeid, et vähendada

halduskoormust ning suurendada tõhusust, tulemuslikkust ja säästlikkust. BMVI rakenduskavas

nähakse ette mitu meedet, millega toetatakse ELi välispiiri valvamise ja piirikontrolli võime

suurendamist. Meetmed aitavad täita määruses (EL) 2019/1896 (edaspidi ka Euroopa piiri- ja

rannikuvalve määrus) sätestatud nõudeid, parandada teabevahetust, tagada kooskõlas ELi

standarditega välispiiri kontroll ja kohaldada ELi õigustikku ühetaoliselt. Esmatähtsad on

tegevused, millega toetatakse välispiiri haldamise võime säilitamist või laiendamist ja aidatakse

kaasa solidaarsusele.

Ühise viisapoliitika puhul on oluline jätkata konsulaartöötajate korrapärast koolitamist, et tagada

viisaeeskirja ja VISi määruse ühetaoline kohaldamine. Paralleelselt tuleb tõhustada viisade

menetlemist, selleks palgatakse täiendav personal. Samuti on oluline jätkata digitaalsete viisade ja

infosüsteemide väljatöötamist ning kasutamist. IT-arendused, mis on seotud ühise

viisainfosüsteemiga, on prioriteet.

Meetmete kavandamisel ja elluviimisel järgitakse ELi põhiõiguste harta nõudeid ning hinnatakse

sihtrühmapõhise lähenemise vajalikkust, et kõik inimesed tunneksid end ühtmoodi turvaliselt,

olenemata elukohast, keelest, soost, rassist, vanusest, puudest jmt. Meetmete valikul välistatakse

olulise keskkonnamõjuga projektid.

BMVI määruses on nähtud ette, et viisapoliitika erieesmärgile tuleb eraldada 10% rahastu mahust.

Kuigi rakenduskavas on planeeritud sellele vähem kui 10% kogueelarvest, on arvestatud kõikide

võimalike toetusesaajate (Välisministeerium ning Politsei- ja Piirivalveamet (edaspidi PPA))

esitatud vajadustega.

ELi õigustiku ja tegevuskavade rakendamise seis

• Eesti integreeritud piirihalduse strateegia (edaspidi IBM)

IBM on osa STAKi programmist „Kindel sisejulgeolek“ ja on töötatud välja selleks, et täita

Euroopa piiri- ja rannikuvalve määruses sätestatud riiklikku kohustust. IBMiga käib kaasas detailne

tegevuskava. IBM ja tegevuskava on n-ö elavad dokumendid, mida vajaduse korral ajakohastatakse

ja viiakse kooskõlla teiste arengudokumentidega, sh Euroopa piiri- ja rannikuvalve strateegiaga.

Riiklik suutlikkuse arendamise kava tugineb IBMi prioriteetidele asjakohastele piirihalduse

4

valdkonna strateegiatele ja programmidele Euroopa piiri- ja rannikuvalve suutlikkuse arendamise

planeerimise raames kooskõlas Euroopa piiri- ja rannikuvalve määrusega.

Eestis vastustab integreeritud piirihalduse arendamise ja rakendamise eest peamiselt PPA.

Põhilised partnerid on Välisministeerium, Maksu- ja Tolliamet, Keskkonnaamet, Kaitsevägi,

Kaitseliit ja Kaitsepolitseiamet.

IBMis arvestatakse täielikult Euroopa integreeritud piirihalduse tehnilise ja tegevusstrateegia

eesmärkidega:

1. välispiiride haavatavuse vähendamine, mis põhineb terviklikul olukorrateadlikkusel;

2. ohutud, turvalised ja hästi toimivad ELi välispiirid;

3. Euroopa piiri- ja rannikuvalve kestlikkus.

• Euroopa piiri- ja rannikuvalve riiklike komponentide arendamine

PPAs on loodud Euroopa piiri- ja rannikuvalve toetamiseks riiklik piiri- ja rannikuvalverühm ning

tehniliste seadmete reserv. Ostetud ja ostetavad seadmed vastavad Euroopa Piiri- ja Rannikuvalve

Ameti (edaspidi Frontex) kehtestatud tehnilistele standarditele. Vajaduse korral antakse Frontexi

koordineerimisel teistele liikmesriikidele operatiivabi. PPA osaleb Frontexi ühisoperatsioonides,

piirioperatsioonides ja tagasisaatmisega seotud tegevustes. Eesti panustab Frontexi riskianalüüsi,

ressursside ja koolitusstandardite väljatöötamisse ning muude töörühmade ja koolitusürituste

tegevustesse. Frontexi, CEPOLi ja eu-LISA koolitatud ja sertifitseeritud ekspertide ja nõustajate

lähetamine aitab arendada edasi Eesti võimet kaitsta ELi välispiire. Seni on Eesti täitnud 100%

Frontexi II ja III kategooria alalise korpuse mehitamise kvoodist. Korrapärane teabevahetus

ametitega on kooskõlas Frontexi riskianalüüsi võrgustiku, EUROSURi ja haavatavuse hindamise

kokkulepitud vormiga. Riiklik koordinatsioonikeskus vastutab tõhusa teabeanalüüsi eest, mis

põhineb CIRAMil ning teabevahetusel ELi liikmesriikide ja Frontexiga. Euroopa piiri- ja

rannikuvalve riiklike komponentide edasiarendamine kätkeb piirivalveametnike koolitamist

piirivalve ühise tuumõppekava alusel ja Frontexi standarditega kooskõlas operatiivvahendite

hankimist.

• EUROSUR

Frontex paigaldas EUROSURi PPAsse 7. novembril 2012. Alates 1. oktoobrist 2014 tegutseb

EUROSURi riiklik koordinatsioonikeskus PPA ühtse kontaktpunktina. EUROSURi kohaldamisala

on märkimisväärselt laienenud, hõlmates nüüd kõiki teabevahetusega seotud aspekte. EUROSURi

rakendatakse kooskõlas uue Euroopa piiri- ja rannikuvalve määruse elementidega ja eelkõige

järgmiste punktidega:

o süsteemne aruandlus piiripunktides tehtava kontrolli ja õhupiiri valvamise kohta ning

teisese rände olemasoleva teabe esitamise kohta;

o liikmesriikide koordinatsioonikeskuste arendamine asutuste laiendatud koostöö kaudu, et

hõlmata EUROSURi uus kohaldamisala;

o IT-süsteemide tarkvara ja arhitektuuri arendamine, et vastata uutele sidestandarditele ja

võimaldada masinatevahelist suhtlust;

o EUROSURi operaatorite värbamine ja koolitamine;

o sidevõrkude turvalisuse ja konfidentsiaalsuse tagamine.

• Suuremahulised IT-süsteemid ja koostalitlusvõime

5

Eesti on pühendunud e-piiride paketi, näiteks EESi, ETIASe, SISi ja VISi õigeaegsele

rakendamisele ja koostalitlusvõimele. Oleme valmis EESi rakendamiseks, loodud on.. keskne

juurdepääsupunkt ning arendusprojektid uute SISi ja ETIASe määruste rakendamiseks on töös. Kui

EURODACi riikliku juurdepääsupunkti arendusi rahastatakse Varjupaiga-, rände- ja

integratsioonifondist, siis BMVIst toetatakse valdkondlikke koolitusi, riigisiseste piiri- ja

rändehalduse IT-süsteemide kaasajastamist, võimekuse tõstmist, eelkõige biomeetria seadmete

soetuse kaudu. Vaja on koordineerida riigiasutuste ja muude asjaomaste sidusrühmade vahelisi

tegevusi ning eraldada süsteemide arendamiseks piisavalt raha ja inimesi. Tähelepanu tuleb pöörata

ka hankemenetluste ja muude administratiivsete tegevuste õigeaegsele korraldamisele. ELi

suuremahuliste IT-süsteemide rakendamiseks peab Eesti kohandama tööprotseduure ja -kordi ning

koolitama süsteemide kasutajaid.

• Schengeni hindamise töörühma soovitused ja haavatavuse hindamine

2019. aastal nimetas Euroopa Komisjon meetmed, mida Eesti peaks BMVIst rahastama.

Dokumendis toodi välja haavatavuse hindamisel tehtud neli soovitust, mis nüüdseks on täidetud.

Viimane soovitus (EE005 – CIRAM 2.0 koolitus) suleti 5. juulil 2021. Viimane Schengeni

hindamine viidi läbi 2023, mille tulemusel sai Eesti 102 soovitust. BMVI rakenduskavas

arvestatakse haavatavuse hindamisel/Schengeni hindamisel tuvastatud puuduste kõrvaldamiseks

vajalike tegevustega (näiteks suuremahuliste IT-süsteemide parendamine ja maismaapiiril

seirevõimekuse tõstmine). Ette on nähtud meetmed, milles võetakse arvesse õigusraamistiku

arengut.

Eesti viisapoliitika Schengeni hindamised toimusid 2018 ja 2023. Üks soovitus, mida rahastati

BMVIst ja mis oli seotud uue viisaregistri kasutuselevõtuga, täideti 2024. aastal.Teine soovitus,

viia viisaregister vastavusse andmekaitsenõuetega, täideti 2022. aastal. 2023. aasta soovitused, mis

puudutavad välisminiseeriumi personalipuudust ning viisainfosüsteemi juurdepääsuõigusi ja

andmekaitse nõudeid, rahastatakse osaliselt BMVIst.

• Taustakontrollimäärus ja sõltumatu järelevalvemehhanism

Määrus (EL) 2024/1356 (edaspidi Taustakontrollimäärus) jõustub varjupaiga- ja rändepakti osana

2026. aasta juunis. Seda kohaldatakse kolmandate riikide kodanike suhtes, kes on kinni peetud ELi

välispiiri ebaseaduslikul ületamisel, otsingu- ja päästeoperatsiooni järgsel maabumisel või kes

taotlevad kaitset välispiiril. Taustakontrolli kohaldatakse ka kolmandate riikide kodanike suhtes,

kes on tabatud ELi territooriumil ja kes on ebaseaduslikult ületanud välispiiri teises liikmesriigis.

Taustakontroll hõlmab esmaseid tervise- ja haavatavuse kontrolle, biomeetriliste andmete

tuvastamist ja registreerimist asjakohastes riiklikes ja liidu andmebaasides, turvakontrolle,

taustakontrolli vormi täitmist ning suunamist varjupaiga- või tagasisaatmismenetlusele. See uus

määrus nõuab olulisi IT- ning taristu investeeringuid ning teenuste pakkumist sihtrühmale.

Kaasnevate kulude katmiseks kasutatakse BMVI toetust. Paktiga seotud varjupaiga- ja

tagasisaatmismenetluste kulu ning rändehaldussüsteemide, sh EURODACi arendusega seotud kulu

katmiseks kasutatakse AMIFit.

Taustakontrollimäärusega kohustatakse liikmesriike looma põhiõiguste jälgimiseks sõltumatu

järelevalvemehhanism, millel on oma ülesannete täitmiseks piisavad ressursid. Eesti rahastab

sõltumatut järelevalvemehhanismi riigieelarvest.

• Ülekanne

6

Eesti kasutas ühissätete määruse artikli 26 lõikes 1 toodud võimalust ning tõstis 5% AMIFi algsest

eraldisest (1 112 731 eurot) BMVIsse. AMIFi perioodi 2021–2027 rakenduskavas võetakse arvesse

kõiki võimalike toetusesaajate asjakohaseid vajadusi, mis selgitati välja riiklike strateegiate

koostamise käigus. Kolmandate riikide kodanikele mõeldud kohanemismeetmeid täiendab ja suures

osas rahastab Euroopa Sotsiaalfond+ (edaspidi ESF+). AMIFist üle tõstetud 1 112 731 eurot

kasutati idapiiri seiretehnika soetamiseks.

2. Erieesmärgid (korratakse iga erieesmärgi puhul, välja arvatud tehniline abi)

Viide: ühissätete määruse artikli 22 lõiked 2 ja 4

2.1. Erieesmärgi nimetus

Toetada Euroopa piiri- ja rannikuvalve poolt välispiiridel rakendatavat tõhusat Euroopa

integreeritud piirihaldust, mille eest jagavad vastutust Euroopa Piiri- ja Rannikuvalve Amet

ning piirihalduse eest vastutavad riiklikud asutused, et hõlbustada seaduslikku piiriületust,

ennetada ja avastada ebaseaduslikku sisserännet ja piiriülest kuritegevust ning hallata tõhusalt

rändevooge

2.1.1. Erieesmärgi kirjeldus

Käesolevas osas kirjeldatakse iga erieesmärgi puhul esialgset olukorda, peamisi katsumusi ja

pakutakse välja lahendused, mida fondist toetatakse. Siin kirjeldatakse, milliseid

rakendusmeetmeid fondi toetusel käsitletakse; samuti esitatakse esialgne loetelu meetmetest, mis

kuuluvad AMIFi, ISFi või BMVI määruse artiklite 3 ja 5 kohaldamisalasse. Täpsemalt:

tegevustoetuse puhul esitatakse selgitus kooskõlas AMIFi määruse artikliga 21, ISFi määruse

artikliga 16 või BMVI määruse artiklitega 16 ja 17. See sisaldab soovituslikku loetelu

toetusesaajatest koos nende seadusjärgsete kohustustega ja põhiülesandeid, mida tuleb toetada.

Rahastamisvahendite kavandatud kasutamine, kui kohaldatav.

Eesti IBM-mudel on rajatud neljale sambale: tegevused kolmandates riikides, koostöö

naaberriikidega, piirikontroll ning meetmed vaba liikumise alal.

Eesti IBMi mõjutavad naabruses asuvate kolmandate riikide poliitiline, majanduslik ja

julgeolekuolukord ning Eesti ja teiste ELi liikmesriikide head sidemed. On suur tõenäosus, et

naabruses asuvas kolmandas riigis toimuvatel muutustel on mõju maismaapiirile ja need

suurendavad ohtu, mis on seotud piiriülese kuritegevuse ja muude piiridega seotud rikkumiste või

ebatavaliste ohtudega välispiiril. Seepärast on oluline analüüsida integreeritud piirihalduse

süsteemi iga aspekti toimimist ja haavatavust, et leevendada tuvastatud ohu korral võimalikke

riske.

Piirikontrollimeetmed põhinevad Schengeni parimatel tavadel. Riskianalüüsi tulemid töötatakse

välja CIRAMi abil. Analüüs toetab teenuste ja muude piiridega seotud tegevuste kavandamist, et

kasutada optimaalselt ressursse tuvastatud ohtude, haavatavuse ja mõju järgi. Olukorrapildi

saamiseks teeb Eesti riskianalüüsi, teabevahetuse ja operatiivtegevuse valdkonnas tõhusat

koostööd rahvusvaheliste ja ELi ametitega, nagu Interpol, Europol, Frontex, ELi varjupaigaamet

ja eu-LISA, ning teiste riikide, organisatsioonide ja asutustega.

ISFB toel on varem soetatud moodsaid vahendeid ja seadmeid, nt patrullautod,

eritranspordivahendid, piirikontrolli- ja migratsioonijärelevalve seadmed, sõrmejäljebiomeetriaks

vajalik tehnika, multirootorid, veesõidukid ning automaatse piirikontrollisüsteemi ehk ABC-

väravad. See on aidanud suurendada reageerimisvõimet, millel on otsene seos piirikontrolli

tõhususe ja kvaliteediga. Kuna tehnoloogia areneb kiiresti ja ka sõidukid, mis osteti aastatel 2015–

2018, on jõudnud elukaare lõppu, kasutatakse BMVId uute vahendite soetamiseks.

BMVI toetust kasutatakse lisaks teistele rahastusallikatele järgmisteks BMVI määruse II lisas

nimetatud rakendusmeetmeteks, et tegeleda punktis 1 nimetatud piirihalduse valdkonna

katsumustega.

• Piirikontrolli tugevdamine kooskõlas määruse (EL) 2019/1896 artikli 3 lõike 1 punktiga a

Eesti rannajoone pikkus on 3794 km, merepiir 767 km ja maismaapiir, sh Eesti Vabariigi ja

Venemaa Föderatsiooni vaheline ajutine kontrolljoon, 338,6 km. Välispiiri kontrollivad

piiripunktid, kordonid, lennusalk, laevastik ja seirekeskused. Tõhusa kontrolli ning patrull- ja

vaatlustegevuse tagamiseks välispiiridel, piiriülese kuritegevuse ennetamiseks ja avastamiseks,

piirirežiimi säilitamiseks majandustsoonis ning rände seireks peab piir olema kaetud tehnilise

valvega.

Piirikontrollilahendused, mis tuginevad biomeetrilistele andmetele ning mis võetakse kasutusele

lähi- ja kaugemas tulevikus, tõstavad piirikontrolli võimet, kuid suureneb ka süsteemide

kuritarvitamise oht. PPA peab koostöös partneritega tagama süsteemide toimimise ja

küberjulgeoleku, leevendades samal ajal ohtu, et sissetungijad neid süsteeme kuritarvitavad. Uued

ebaseadusliku üle piiri toimetamise meetodid nõuavad piiri- ja rannikuvalve seiremeetodite

ja -tehnoloogia arendamist. PPA on teadlik, et kurjategijad kasutavad mehitamata õhusõidukeid

ja GPS-majakaid. Tehnoloogia arendamine ning uute meetodite väljatöötamine ja rakendmine on

seotud IT-, radari- ja raadiosidesüsteemide üldise arenguga.

PPA ehitab välja maismaavälispiiri taristu. Idapiiri ehitamise projekti rahastatakse peamiselt

riigieelarvest. ELi/Schengeni välispiiri katmine tehnilise valvega on prioriteet ning seda

rahastatakse suures osas BMVIst. ISFBst rahastatavas katseprojektis selgitati välja sobivaim

tehnoloogia, mille tulemusi arvestatakse BMVIst rahastatava seiresüsteemi hankimisel ja vajaliku

taristu loomisel, näiteks mastid ja voolukaablid. BMVI/2021-2023/SA/1.2.1 toel hangitakse

mobiilsed autonoomsed seiresüsteemid. Volitamata piiriüleste mehitamata õhusõidukite

avastamise ja segamise võimekuse parandamiseks ning ööpäevaringse katkematu andmevoo ja

olukorrateadlikkuse parandamiseks idapiirilt kasutatakse erimeetmete BMVI/2024/SA/1.4.2/002

ja BMVI/2024/SA/1.1.5/001 vahendeid.

Eesti välispiiril on 46 rahvusvahelist piiripunkti: seitse maismaapiiril, 32 merepiiril ja seitse

õhupiiril. Analüüsi- ja andmelaoinfosüsteemi (edaspidi ALIS) kohaselt ületas maismaapiiri 2017.

aastal 66%, 2020. aastal 80% ja 2024. aastal 68% reisijatest, merepiiri 2017. aastal 25%, 2020.

aastal 6% ja 2024. aastal 0,5% reisijatest. Lennujaamades oli piiriületajaid 9% (2017), 13% (2020)

ja 31% (2024). Statistikaanalüüs näitab, et peamine liikluskoormus lasub välispiiril asuvatel

maismaa piiripunktidel. 2017. aastal ületas Eesti maismaavälispiiri 7,4 miljonit, 2020. aastal 1,3

miljonit ja 2024. Aastal 1,6 miljonit reisijat. Peaaegu 50% (2017). 63% (2020) ja 69% (2024)

ületustest toimus Narva-1 maanteepiiripunktis. Oluline on säilitada tasakaal reisijate sujuva

piiriületuse võimaldamise ning riigi ja ELi julgeoleku vahel, võttes arvesse õigusraamistiku

tõenäolist arengut.

Praegune julgeolekuolukord Eesti valvatavatel välispiiridel on stabiilne. Alates 2020. aastast on

ebaseadusliku sisserände oht mõõdukas maismaa- ja õhuvälispiiridel ning väike merepiiril.

8

2019. aastal oli 228, 2020. aastal 166, 2021. aastal 303 ning 2024. aastal 179 ebaseaduslikku

piiriületust. Olukord võib kiiresti muutuda, nagu näitas ilmekalt 2021. aastal ELi ja Valgevene

piiril toimunu ning 2022. aasta veebruaris Ukrainas alanud sõda. Kuni COVID-19 pandeemiani

oli reisijatevoog ja piiriülene kaubandus kasvutrendis. 2019. aastal oli Eestis seaduslike

piiriületuste arv 8 277 528, 2020. aastal 1 585 775, 2021. aastal 1 099 974 ja 2024. aastal 1 570

594. Kasvu prognoositakse taas pärast julgeoleku olukorra stabiliseerumist. Reisijatevoo

suurenemisega kaasnevad ka kasvav piiriülene kuritegevus, ebaseaduslik ränne ja muud

sisejulgeolekut mõjutavad ohud. Selleks, et oleks võimalik säilitada isikute ja kaupade sujuv

piiriliiklus, on vaja piirihalduse eest vastutavatelt asutustelt märkimisväärseid jõupingutusi. Kuna

ressursid on piiratud, tuleb otsida ja kasutada uusi tehnoloogilisi lahendusi (kaasajastatud ABC-

väravad).

Lisaks peab Eesti olema valmis haldama välispiiridel potentsiaalset kõrget rändesurvet ja looma

taustakontrollimääruse kohase suutlikkuse, mis on seotud kolmandate riikide kodanike

tuvastamise, tervise- ja haavatavuse hindamise, turvakontrollide ja registreerimisega asjakohastes

andmebaasides. See hõlmab mitmeotstarbeliste keskuse loomist, mida saab vajaduse korral

kasutada ka varjupaiga- ja tagasisaatmismenetluses, sealhulgas piirimenetluses osalevate

kolmandate riikide kodanike majutamiseks.

Osa pakti eraldisest kasutatakse ka IT-arendusteks, et võimaldada taustakontrolli ja sujuvat ning

usaldusväärset andmevahetust riiklike ametiasutuste vahel. See hõlmab ILLEGAALi ja RAKSi

vahelise ühenduvuse arendamist automatiseeritud dokumentide jagamiseks, kohtute e-toimikute

süsteemi liidese loomist RAKSi ja ILLEGAALiga ning tõlkemooduli väljatöötamist. Kõiki

nimetatud süsteeme ja mooduleid kasutavad piirivalvurid ning nendes viiakse läbi kõiki paktiga

seotud menetlusi.

EUROSURi süsteem areneb pidevalt. EUROSURi ülesanne on suurendada piiripunktides

tolliasutuste ja piirivalveametnike koostööd ning teabevahetust Läti, Leedu ja Soome

piirivalveasutustega. Eesti aitab töötada ELi tasandil aktiivselt välja olukorrateadlikkuse

parandamise süsteemi. Riiklikult keskendutakse IT-süsteemide arendamisele koos asutuste ja

ministeeriumidega, toetades seeläbi teabevahetust ja koostööd ametiasutuste vahel. EUROSURi

edasiarendus peab olema kooskõlas Schengeni piirieeskirjade ja muude EUROSURi käsitlevate

õigusaktidega, mille eesmärk on parandada koostalitlusvõimet. Kui IT-süsteemide arendamiseks

kasutatakse riigieelarvet, siis BMVI toel soetatakse juhtimiskeskustesse seadmeid (nt monitorid

ja juhtimiskonsoolid).

Alates 1. oktoobrist 2014 tegutseb riiklik koordinatsioonikeskus PPA ühtse kontaktpunktina.

Lisaks riiklikule koordinatsioonikeskusele on kontaktpunktis ka SIRENE büroo, Europoli riiklik

üksus, Interpoli riiklik keskbüroo, Prümi lepingu riiklik kontaktpunkt ja Frontexi riiklik

kontaktpunkt. Selline lahendus annab juurdepääsu paljudele asjakohastele riiklikele ja

rahvusvahelistele õiguskaitse andmebaasidele, võimaldades tihedat teabevahetust pädevate

riiklike ja rahvusvaheliste asutustega. Riiklik koordinatsioonikeskus edastab EUROSURi riikliku

olukorrapildi ja Euroopa olukorrapildi kõigile PPA asjaomastele politseiüksustele ja teistele

riiklikele asutustele, nagu Maksu- ja Tolliamet, Kaitseministeerium, Välisministeerium,

Siseministeerium, Kaitsevägi, Europol ja SIRENE büroo. Luhamaa juhtimispunkti

renoveerimistööd rahastatakse riigieelarvest. BMVist toetatakse projekteerimistöid ning

järelevalvet.

• Riigi tasandil koostöö tõhustamine piirikontrolli või piiril täidetavate ülesannete eest

vastutavate riiklike ametiasutuste vahel ning tõhustatud koostöö liidu tasandil kas

liikmesriikide vahel või ühelt poolt liikmesriikide ja teiselt poolt asjaomaste liidu organite,

ametite ja asutuste või kolmandate riikide vahel

Eesti osaleb ühistes ELi uurimisrühmades ja operatsioonides, mis keskenduvad piiriülese

kuritegevuse avastamisele ja uurimisele kahe- või mitmepoolselt või ELi ametite kaudu. Oluline

on pidev koostöö ELi liikmesriikide, Frontexi ja teiste ELi institutsioonidega, et suurendada ELi

ja liikmesriikide piirihalduse võimet. Tähtis on ka pidev koostöö piirihalduse eest vastutavate

asutustega, nagu Maksu- ja Tolliamet, Transpordiamet, Keskkonnaamet, Kaitsevägi ja Kaitseliit,

et tagada kulutõhusus, vältida ülesannete kattumist ja ühendada välispiiri surve alla sattumisel

jõude.

PPA osaleb ELi töörühmades ja teeb koostööd rahvusvaheliste organisatsioonidega, nagu

Rahvusvaheline Migratsiooniorganisatsioon, OSCE ja ÜRO Pagulaste Ülemvoliniku Amet, ning

muudes asutustevahelise koostöö vormides: Läänemere piirkonna piirikontrollikoostöö,

Läänemere rakkerühm ja Läänemere ministrite nõukogu.

BMVIst toetatakse Maksu- ja Tolliameti amentike esimese astme piirikontrolli täiendkoolitusi.

• Piirihalduse valdkonnas suuremahuliste IT-süsteemide ja eelkõige SISi, ETIASe, EESi ja

Eurodaci loomine, käitamine ja hooldamine piirihalduse eesmärgil vastavalt liidu õigusele,

sealhulgas selliste suuremahuliste IT-süsteemide ja nende sidetaristu koostalitlusvõime,

ning meetmed andmete kvaliteedi ja teabe esitamise parandamiseks

ELi suuremahuliste IT-süsteemide – EESi, ETIASe, SISi ja koostalitlusvõime – rakendamiseks

tehakse koostööd eu-LISAga. IT-süsteemide jätkuarendus tugineb ISFB raames saavutatud

tulemustele. Arvestatakse ELi õigusest tulenevate arendusvajadustega. Viiakse ellu kolm

erimeedet BMVI/2022/SA/1.5.7/003 – BMVI/2022/SA/1.5.7/007, BMVI/2021/SA/1.5.4/008 ja

BMVI/2024/SA/1.5.1/001. EURODACi riiklik ligipääsupunkt luuakse AMIFi toel. BMVIst

toetatakse asjakohaseid riiklike infosüsteemide arendusi andmevahetuseks EURODACiga ning

biomeetria hõiveseadmete soetamist.

• Euroopa piiri- ja rannikuvalve arendamine, toetades piirihalduse eest vastutavaid

riiklikke ametiasutusi selliste meetmete võtmisel, mis on seotud võimearendusega, ühise

suutlikkuse suurendamisega, ühishangetega ja ühiste standardite kehtestamisega, ning

muude meetmete võtmisel, mille eesmärk on ühtlustada liikmesriikide ning Euroopa Piiri-

ja Rannikuvalve Ameti vahelist koostööd ja koordineerimist

Frontexi operatsioonides osalemine on alates 2006. aastast avaldanud vaieldamatut mõju

piirihalduse tõhustamisele ja riigi sisejulgeoleku tagamisele. Frontexi laienemiseks on vaja

valmisolekut lähetada lisatöötajaid. Et alalise korpuse loomist paremini koordineerida,

lähetatakse Frontexi peakorterisse ekspert ning korraldatakse koolitusi uutele

piirihaldusametnikele, kes hakkavad täitma II ja III kategooria alalisse korpusesse lähetatud

teenistujate ülesandeid. Kõik suuremahulised seadmed registreeritakse Frontexis nng antakse

kahepoolsete lepingute alusel Frontexi ühisoperatsioonide kasutusse (nt 20 patrullsõidukit, mis

soetati erimeetmest BMVI/2023-2024/SA/1.2.2/001).

• Välispiire käsitleva liidu acquis’ ühtse kohaldamise tagamine, sealhulgas rakendades

soovitusi, mis on antud selliste kvaliteedikontrolli mehhanismide raames nagu määruse

(EL) nr 1053/2013 kohane Schengeni hindamismehhanism, määruse (EL) 2019/1896

kohased haavatavuse hindamised ja riiklikud kvaliteedikontrolli mehhanismid

10

Mitmekülgne piirivalveharidus annab ametialase pädevuse ja tagab Schengeni acquis’

nõuetekohase rakendamise ning ühetaolise tõhusa piirihalduse riigi ja ELi välispiiridel. PPA

eksperdid osalevad Frontexi ühiste õppekavade ja koolitusmaterjalide väljatöötamises ja

ajakohastamises (ühine tuumõppekava, kesktaseme ametnike ühine tuumõppekava, Euroopa

ühised strateegilise piirihalduse magistriõppekavad, CIRAM, IBM jne).

Kõik piirikontrolliametnikud järgivad oma igapäevases teenistuses 11. märtsil 2015 heaks

kiidetud ametnike eetikakoodeksi põhimõtteid. Koolitustel pööratakse nendele põhimõtetele

endiselt tähelepanu.

Piirikontrolli taristu ajakohastamine, uuendusliku ja tipptasemel tehnoloogia kasutuselevõtt,

reisijate elektroonilise kontrolli suurendamine ja viisanõude kaotamise korra laiendamine

eeldavad töötajate pidevat täiendkoolitust. Lisaks asutusesisestele koolitustele kasutatakse

CEPOLi, eu-LISA ja Frontexi pakutavaid võimalusi.

Kvaliteedikontroll on hädavajalik tagamaks, et osutatavad teenused vastavad kindlaksmääratud

kvaliteedikriteeriumidele või Schengeni hindamismehhanismi ja haavatavuse hindamise

nõuetele. BMVI vahendeid (eelkõige vahehindamise järgselt eraldatud raha ning Schengeniga

ühinenud riikide sissemakse) kasutatakse riigieelarve kõrval selleks, et kõrvaldada Schengeni

hindamiste käigus tuvastatud puudused.

Meetmete esialgne loetelu:

• EUROSURi arendamisega seotud meetmed, näiteks seadmete (monitorid,

juhtimiskonsoolid), juhtimispunkti projekteerimistööd renoveerimiseks;

• koostalitlusvõime paketi ja ELi suuremahuliste IT-süsteemidega seotud meetmed, näiteks

ETIASe, EESi ja SIS-Recasti, EURODAC arendustööd;

• meetmed, mille eesmärk on arendada Euroopa piiri- ja rannikuvalve riiklikke

komponente, näiteks ekspertide lähetamine Frontexisse;

• piirihalduse koolitused IBMi rakendamiseks ja Schengeni õigustiku ühetaolise elluviimise

tagamiseks, sh põhiõiguste tagamine;

• investeeringud Frontexi standarditele vastavasse piirivalvevarustusse, näiteks

patrullsõidukid, UTVd, kaamerad ning mehitamata õhusõidukid ja nende detektorid –

kogu suuremahuline varustus tehakse Frontexile kättesaadavaks;

• investeeringud piirikontrolli- ja migratsioonijärelevalve seadmetesse koos tootetoega,

näiteks dokumendilugejad, biomeetriliste andmete tehnoloogia ja mikroskoobid;

• III lisa punkti 1 alapunktiga i seotud meetmed taustakontrolli suutlikkuse loomiseks

(praeguse kinnipidamiskeskuse renoveerimine ja ümberehitamine, soojakute ostmine,

taustakontrolli läbinud isikutele elamiskulude, majutuse ja teenuste pakkumine,

sealhulgas kvalifitseeritud ja spetsialiseerunud personalilt, IT-arendused taustakontrolli

võimaldamiseks ja koostalitlusvõime tagamiseks asjakohaste IT-süsteemidega jne).

• Schengeni hindamise tulemusel tehtud soovituste täitmiseks võetavad meetmed, kui

tuvastatud puudused nõuavad kõrvaldamiseks rahastust.

Tulemused. Maismaa- ja merevälispiir on kaetud uuendusliku tipptasemel integreeritud

piirivalvesüsteemiga. Piirikontrolli ja -valvet toetavad ajakohased, mobiilsed ja

koostalitlusvõimelised tehnilised süsteemid ja lahendused, et tagada tõhusam ja usaldusväärsem

piirikontroll. Suurenenud on suutlikkus arendada ja kasutada ühtselt ja ühtlustatud viisil

valdkondlikku tipptasemel tehnoloogiat ja ELi suuremahulisi IT-süsteeme (EES, ETIAS jne).

Piirivalve on kooskõlas Schengeni acquis’ ja põhiõigustega, sealhulgas välditakse

eelarvamuslikke, stereotüüpseid ja kallutatud otsuseid, järgitakse andmekaitse, soolise

võrdõiguslikkuse ja mittediskrimineerimise põhimõtet ning arvestatakse haavatavate isikute

11

erivajadusega. Välispiiri ületavate kolmandate riikide kodanike kontrolli on tugevdatud. Kõik

kolmandate riikide kodanikud, kelle suhtes tuleb läbi viia taustakontroll, tuvastatakse ja

kontrollitakse asjakohaste andmebaaside alusel, kvalifitseeritud ja spetsialiseerunud töötajad on

andnud neile esmase tervise- ja haavatavuse hinnangu ning nad on suunatud taustakontrolli

määruses määratletud aja jooksul asjakohasesse menetlusse.

Tegevustoetus

PPA ning Siseministeeriumi infotehnoloogia- ja arenduskeskus (edaspidi SMIT) on avaliku

sektori asutused, kes vastutavad ELi avalike teenuste eest piirivalve ja migratsioonijärelevalve

valdkonnas. PPA põhikirjajärgsete ülesannete hulka kuulub integreeritud piirihalduse arendamine

ja rakendamine. SMITi põhiülesanded hõlmavad valdkondlike IKT-süsteemide arendamist ja

hooldamist.

Seaduslike piiriületuste hõlbustamiseks ning välispiiride kõrgetasemelise kaitse ja vajaliku

teabevahetuse tagamiseks on väga oluline kasutada asjakohaseid IKT-süsteeme ja nüüdisaegset

tehnoloogiat. Et kõik info- ja kommunikatsioonitehnoloogia seadmed ning piirikontrolli- ja

migratsioonijärelevalve seadmed toimiksid tõrgeteta ja turvaliselt, on vaja neid ajakohastada ja

hooldada. Eesti kavatseb piirivalve ja migratsioonijärelevalve IKT-süsteemide ja seadmete

hoolduseks ning remondikuludeks kasutada tegevustoetust järgmiselt.

• Automaatse piirikontrolli süsteemide rent, hooldus ja ajakohastamine (PPA)

2021. aasta veebruaris paigaldati Tallinna lennujaama ja Narva-1 piiripunkti 16 ABC-väravat

ning Saatse piiripunkti 2 väravat. ABC-väravate hoolduseks ja uuendamiseks on PPA ja

teenuseosutaja sõlminud rendilepingu. Lepingut rahastati ISFBst kuni 2022. aasta lõpuni. Alates

1. jaanuarist 2023 kasutatakse BMVId ABC-väravate käitamiseks. Osa vahehindamise eraldisest

kautatakse ABC-väravate uuendamiseks ning kahe lisavärava rentimiseks.

• ELi suuremahuliste IT-süsteemide (EES, SIS, ETIAS), nende süsteemide

koostalitlusvõime ja riikliku üksuse ülalpidamine ja hooldus, turvaliste ruumide rentimine

(PPA ja/või SMIT)

ISFB rahastuse abil liidestatakse piirikontrolli ja migratsioonijärelevalve IT-süsteemid riikliku

üksusega, renditakse EESi andmekeskuse ruume ja luuakse keskne juurdepääsupunkt. Alates

1. jaanuarist 2023 kaetakse EESi, ETIASe, SISi ja nende koostalitlusvõime haldus- ja

hoolduskulud BMVIst, et tagada süsteemide tõhus toimimine.

• Piirikontrolli- ja seiresüsteemi seadmete ning taristu remondi- ja hoolduskulud (PPA)

ISFB abil on ostetud hulk piirikontrolli- ja seireseadmeid, mida kavatsetakse hankida ka BMVI

toel. Seadmete litsentse tuleb korrapäraselt uuendada. Töövahendid ja seadmed on pidevalt

kasutusel ja võivad aeg-ajalt vajada remontimist. Tegevustoetusest kaetakse nii süsteemide

remondikulud kui ka tehnikute palgad. Lisaks kaasajastatakse Luhamaa juhtimispunkti, tehakse

väiksemaid ümberehitustöid ilma hoone välisilmet muutmata ning soetatakse juhtimispunkti

inventar ja sisustus.

Eesti järgib asjaomast liidu õigustikku. Olulisi lahendamata küsimusi ei ole..

2.2. Erieesmärgi nimetus

Toetada ühist viisapoliitikat, et tagada ühtlustatud lähenemisviis viisade väljastamisele ja

hõlbustada õiguspärast reisimist, aidates samal ajal ennetada rände- ja julgeolekuriske

2.2.1. Erieesmärgi kirjeldus

Käesolevas osas kirjeldatakse iga erieesmärgi puhul esialgset olukorda, peamisi katsumusi ja

pakutakse välja lahendused, mida fondist toetatakse. Siin kirjeldatakse, milliseid

rakendusmeetmeid fondi toetusel käsitletakse; samuti esitatakse esialgne loetelu meetmetest, mis

kuuluvad AMIFi, ISFi või BMVI määruse artiklite 3 ja 5 kohaldamisalasse. Täpsemalt:

tegevustoetuse puhul esitatakse selgitus kooskõlas AMIFi määruse artikliga 21, ISFi määruse

artikliga 16 või BMVI määruse artiklitega 16 ja 17. See sisaldab soovituslikku loetelu

toetusesaajatest koos nende seadusjärgsete kohustustega ja põhiülesandeid, mida tuleb toetada.

Rahastamisvahendite kavandatud kasutamine, kui kohaldatav.

Eestis vastutavad ELi viisapoliitika rakendamise eest PPA ja Välisministeerium.

ELi viisapoliitika muudab ELi reisimise lihtsamaks ning maandab julgeolekuriske ja ELi suunduva

ebaseadusliku rändega seotud riske. Sisepiirideta alal on vaja ELi sisenevaid isikuid tõhusalt

kontrollida, et tuvastada igaüks, kes võib kujutada endast julgeolekuriski. Selleks, et tagada selliste

isikute tuvastamine, peab otsustajatel olema ELi kodanike kaitsmiseks õigel ajal õige teave.

Samal ajal peab viisa taotlemine olema kiire ja kliendisõbralik ning turvameetmed peavad vastama

andmekaitsenõuetele ja olema kooskõlas põhiõiguste hartaga.

Et tagada viisade väljastamisel ühetaoline menetlus, hõlbustada seaduslikku reisimist ning aidata

hoida ära rände- ja julgeolekuriske, on Eesti otsustanud rakendada järgmisi BMVIst rahastatavaid

meetmeid.

• Ühise viisapoliitika valdkonnas suuremahuliste IT-süsteemide ja eelkõige VISi loomine,

käitamine ja hooldamine vastavalt liidu õigusele, sealhulgas selliste suuremahuliste

IT-süsteemide ja nende sidetaristu koostalitlusvõime, ning meetmed andmete kvaliteedi ja

teabe esitamise parandamiseks

Et saada ELi viisaga reisijate kohta piisavalt julgeolekuteavet, tuleb VISi ajakohastada. Eesti

ühines VISiga 2011. aastal ja võttis süsteemi kasutusele kõigis välisesindustes, kus viisad välja

antakse. Aja jooksul on võetud kasutusele ka VIS Mail, VIS Mail 2 ja VISA Code Plus ning

arendatud edasi viisade konsultatsiooni infosüsteemi.

VISi arendamiseks kasutati ja kasutatakse riigieelarve, Euroopa Regionaalfondi ja ISFB vahendeid.

SMITi VISi arendamise meeskond teeb pidevalt süsteemi väikseid kohandusi. Uuendatud süsteem

peab olema täielikult koostalitlusvõimeline teiste ELi infosüsteemidega. Järgmise põlvkonna VISi

ja selle liideste loomine teiste ELi suuremahuliste IT-süsteemidega on BMVI rakenduskava

viisapoliitika erieesmärgi prioriteet.

• Tõhusate ja kliendisõbralike teenuste osutamine viisataotlejatele, säilitades samal ajal

viisamenetluse turvalisuse ja terviklikkuse ning austades täielikult taotleja või viisaomaniku

inimväärikust ja puutumatust kooskõlas määruse (EÜ) nr 767/2008 artikli 7 lõikega 2

• Viisasid käsitleva liidu acquis’ ühetaolise kohaldamise tagamine, sealhulgas ühise

viisapoliitika edasiarendamine ja ajakohastamine

19

• Liikmesriikide toetamine viisade väljastamisel, sealhulgas määruse (EÜ) nr 810/2009

artiklis 25 osutatud piiratud territoriaalse kehtivusega viisade puhul, mida väljastatakse

humanitaarkaalutlustel, riiklikes huvides või rahvusvaheliste kohustuste tõttu

Välisministeerium ja Kaitsepolitseiamet on hinnanud, et Eesti esindused vastavad turvanõuetele ja

keskkond on kliendisõbralik. Kõik tulevikus vajalikuks osutuda võiva taristuga seotud

investeeringud rahastatakse riigieelarvest.

Schengeni viisasid menetletakse ja väljastatakse 17 Eesti esinduses. Eesti esindab Schengeni

viisade menetlemisel nelja liikmesriiki (Taani, Leedu, Soome ja Rootsi) kolmes riigis.

2022. aastal tegeles viisaküsimustega 61 Välisministeeriumi töötajat (32 konsulit, neli välismaale

lähetatud tehnilist töötajat ja 25 kohalikku tehnilist töötajat). Eelarveliste piirangute tõttu vähenes

personal 48 teenistujani (22 konsulit, 1 lähetatud tehniline töötaja, 20 kohalikku tehnilist töötajat

ja viis välisministeeriumi konsulaarosakonna töötajat). 2024. aastal menetleti 12 125 Schengeni

viisataotlust, millest 8 811 väljastati Eesti välisesindustes. 2020. Aasta vastavad arvud olid 25 555

ja 24 970 ning 2019. aastal 145 711 ja 143 582. Vähenemine tulenes COVID-19 pandeemiast ja

Vene Föderatsiooni täiemahulisest sissetungist Ukrainasse ning nendega seotud piirangutest. Kui

keskkond muutub paremaks ja on jälle võimalik piiranguteta reisida, on suur võimalus, et arvud

kasvavad.

Viisasid menetlevaid ametnikke koolitatakse korrapäraselt, et tagada, et viisaeeskirja ja VISi

määruse rakendamisele lähenetakse ühetaoliselt, tuvastada võltsitud dokumente jne. Koolitustel

käsitletakse ka soolise võrdõiguslikkuse ja võrdse kohtlemise põhimõtteid. Koolitusi ja

tööpraktikat on seni rahastatud osaliselt ISFBst ning seda jätkatakse BMVI raames.

Lisaks koolitusele tuleks luua ja kasutada uusi tehnoloogilisi lahendusi.

Eesti ettepaneku alusel algatas Euroopa Komisjon ülemineku digitaalsele viisamenetlusele.

2019. aastal koostati analüüsiaruanne ja kutsuti kokku digitaliseerimise töörühm. Eu-LISA ning

rände ja siseasjade peadirektoraat töötasid projekti raames välja ja katsetasid ELi veebipõhise

viisataotlusportaali prototüüpi. Prototüüp võeti kasutusele 2021. aastal. EE liidestatakse ELi

viisataotlusplatvormiga pärast selle valmimist.

• Liikmesriikide viisataotluste menetlemise alase koostöö eri vormide arendamine

Oluline on vahetada parimaid tavasid ja teadmisi, sealhulgas lähetada eksperte ning laiendada

Euroopa võrgustikke, et liidu poliitikat ja eesmärke hinnata, edendada, toetada ja edasi arendada.

2021. aasta alguse seisuga esindab Eestit 18 Schengeni liikmesriiki (Austria, Belgia, Hispaania,

Itaalia, Leedu, Läti, Madalmaad, Poola, Portugal, Prantsusmaa, Rootsi, Saksamaa, Sloveenia,

Soome, Šveits, Taani, Tšehhi, Ungari) 100 riigis.

Alates 2011. aastast on Eesti sõlminud koostöölepingud välise teenuseosutajaga 19 riigis.

Kehtivate lepingute alusel pakub 231 viisakeskust teenuseid Austraalias, Egiptuses, Fidžis, Hiinas,

Iisraelis, Indias, Jaapanis, Kanadas, Kasahstanis, Paapua Uus-Guineas, Tadžikistanis, Türgis,

Ukrainas, USAs, Uus-Meremaal, Valgevenes, Venemaal, Ühendemiraatides ja Ühendkuningriigis.

Eesti arvates on BMVI rahastus kasulik liikmesriikidevahelise konsulaarkoostöö tõhustamiseks.

Korraldada võiks õppekäike liikmesriikide saatkondadesse, kes esindavad Eestit kolmandas riigis.

Viisaeeskirjaga on nähtud ette kohustus teha järelevalvet väliste teenuseosutajate üle. Rahastada

võiks viisakeskuste auditeid, mis tehakse koostöös teiste liikmesriikidega. Sellise koostöövormi

praktika on juba olemas (näiteks Austrias ja Saksamaal). Saksamaa, Madalmaad, Eesti, Läti ja

20

Leedu kavatsesid 2020. aasta aprilli lõpus auditeerida koos Istanbulis asuvat viisakeskust, kuid

COVID-19 pandeemia tõttu lükati see edasi.

Meetmete esialgne loetelu:

• VISi arendus (prioriteet);

• digitaalse viisa ja e-rakenduse arendamine koostöös Euroopa Komisjoniga;

• konsulaartöötajate koolitus ja praktika;väliste teenuseosutajate auditid;

• Schengeni hindamise tulemusel tehtud soovituste täitmiseks võetavad meetmed, kui tuvastatud

puudused nõuavad kõrvaldamiseks rahastust.

Tegevustoetus

Eesti Välisministeerium palkab või saadab Schengeni viisasid menetlevatesse Eesti esindustesse,

kus töökoormus on suurenenud, täiendavalt konsulaartöötajaid, et parandada Schengeni viisade

menetlemise suutlikkust ja viisadega seotud töö tõhusamat korraldamist. Tegevustoetus katab

personalikulud.

Tulemused. Viisaametnikud on koolitatud ja osutavad kliendisõbralikku teenust kooskõlas

viisaeeskirjaga. Viisa taotlemine on tõhus ja turvaline. Heausksete reisijate piiriületus on sujuv

ning turvariskid ja ELi suunduva ebaseadusliku rändega seotud riskid on maandatud. Digiviisa ja

e-rakendused on ligipääsetavad erivajadustega inimestele. Veebilehed vastavad WCAG 2.0

nõuetele. VISi kasutamisel tagavad kõik pädevad asutused, et nad ei diskrimineeri taotlejaid ja

viisaomanikke soo, rassilise või etnilise päritolu, usutunnistuse, puude, vanuse või seksuaalse

sättumuse alusel ning austavad täiel määral taotleja või viisaomaniku inimväärikust ja puutumatust.

2.3. Tehniline abi

2.3.1. Kirjeldus

Viide: ühissätete määruse artikli 22 lõike 3 punkt f, artikli 36 lõige 5 ja artikkel 95

BMVI rakenduskavas seatud eesmärkide ja näitajate saavutamiseks peab olema piisavalt

vahendeid.

Ühissätete määruse artikli 36 lõike 5 alusel eraldatavat tehnilist abi kasutatakse:

• programmitöö ettevalmistamiseks, rakendamiseks, seireks ja kontrolliks;

• suutlikkuse suurendamiseks;

• hindamiseks ja uuringuteks, andmete kogumiseks;

• teavitus- ja teavitamistegevusteks.

Ettevalmistamine, rakendamine, seire ja kontroll

Tehnilist abi kasutavad korraldusasutuse ja auditeerimisasutuse pädevad ametnikud.

Siseministeeriumis töötab kuni kümme korraldusasutuse ametnikku, kes vastutavad AMIFi, ISFi

ja BMVI vahendite kasutamise eest, ja kaks auditeerimisasutuse audiitorit. Tehnilist abi

kasutatakse korraldusasutuse ja auditeerimisasutuse personalikuludeks, koolituseks, seminaridel ja

kohtumistel osalemiseks jne.

Suutlikkuse suurendamine

Et taotlejad ja toetusesaajad saaksid projekte koostada ja ellu viia, on vaja neid nõustada ja jagada

parimaid tavasid. Seepärast tagab korraldusasutus tehnilise abiga ka taotlejate ja toetusesaajate

pideva koolituse, nõustamise ja juhendamise BMVI rahastuse kasutamise vallas, sh suurendades

teadlikkust põhiõiguste kaitsest ja võrdse kohtlemise tagamisest.

Taotlejate ja toetusesaajate koormuse vähendamiseks kasutatakse tehnilist abi uute IT-lahenduste

jaoks, mille kaudu hakkab käima taotlemine, aruandlus ja kulude hüvitamine. Infosüsteem e-SFOS

ehk toetuse haldamise register võetakse kasutusele selleks, et lihtsustada tehnilisi menetlusi,

vähendada taotlejate, toetusesaajate ja haldusasutuste töökoormust ning aidata seega rohkem kaasa

sisulistele tegevustele. E-rakendustes kasutatakse nii palju kui võimalik ühekordse sisestamise

põhimõtet. Lisaks võimaldab infosüsteem korraldusasutusel jälgida tulemuste saavutamist,

kulukohustuste ja väljamaksete edenemist, auditite mahtu ja tulemusi, haldus-, finants- ja

kohapealseid kontrolle, eeskirjade eiramist ning tagasinõudeid.

Hindamine ja uuringud, andmete kogumine

Oluline on tagada eesmärkide õigeaegne täitmine ja vahendite tõhus kasutamine. Seetõttu on

nähtud ette kaks hindamist: vahehindamine 2024. aastal ja lõpphindamine 2030. aastal. Vajaduse

korral kasutatakse tehnilist abi ka lisauuringuteks ja andmete kogumiseks.

Teave ja teavitamine

Tehnilist abi kasutatakse ka teavitamistegevusteks (vt punkt 7).

Ühissätete määruse artiklis 37 sätestatud tehnilist abi ei ole plaanis kasutada.
