The European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA) is a European Union (EU) body established under Regulation (EU) 2019/473 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2019 in order to ensure uniform and effective application of the rules of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) by organizing operational coordination of fisheries control and inspection activities by the Member States and to assist them to cooperate.
EFCA also assists the EU in its relations with third countries and Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs), in accordance with Article 30 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on the CFP which establishes that “The Union shall, including through the European Fisheries Control Agency ("the Agency"), cooperate with third countries and international organisations dealing with fisheries, including Regional Fisheries Management Organisations, to strengthen compliance with measures, especially those to combat IUU fishing, in order to ensure that measures adopted by such international organisations are strictly adhered to.”
EFCA is increasingly involved in capacity building activities projects concerning EU Member States and third countries. For this reason, EFCA needs specific external expertise to support its capacity building activities on legal, technical, training and operational aspects.
Moreover, in 2016, the mandate of EFCA was amended and extended to cover the EU cooperation on coast guard functions. The objective of this amendment was to improve cooperation and coordination between the relevant EU Agencies, namely EFCA, the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) and the European Border Guard Agency (Frontex) in order to enhance synergies between their respective services. This allows the three Agencies to provide more efficient and cost effective cross-sector and multipurpose services to national authorities carrying out coast guard functions. In this framework, EFCA will need specific external expertise to support coast guard functions[1] at national and/or EU level, and where appropriate at international level by elaborating guidelines, recommendations and best practices with a view to enhancing the exchange of information and cooperation
EFCA invites expressions of interest with a view to drawing up lists of experts to assist in its capacity building activities and cooperation on coast guard functions at EU level.
Natural persons interested are invited to submit an application in accordance with the rules set out in the notice for the purpose specified. EFCA will draw up a list of experts who meet the criteria laid down in sections IV.2 and IV.3 of the notice.

This CEI concerns the specific fields as listed in section II.3 of the notice. This table provides an overview of the fields of expertise, expected tasks and specific requirements.
