The Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre (MAOC (N)) (or Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre – Narcotics), based in Lisbon, is an initiative by 6 EU Member Countries (France, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Portugal) and the UK and is co-funded by the Internal Security Fund of the European Union.
On 30 September 2007, Ministers from France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom gathered in Lisbon, Portugal to not only acknowledge the threat posed by bulk movements of cocaine across the Atlantic to Europe and the movement of cannabis across the Mediterranean, but to join forces under a concrete initiative to counter the threat. The Agreement that established MAOC (N) states that the centre is to provide a forum for multi-lateral cooperation to suppress illicit drug trafficking by sea and air. The centre aims to use intelligence on drug smuggling operations, by air or sea, to apply the most suitable military and/or law enforcement teams to respond to situations that arise.[1]
The signing of a treaty created the MAOC (N), establishing a one-of-a-kind centre in Europe that would develop into a trusted international platform for combatting international drug trafficking.
MAOC (N) is a European Law Enforcement unit with military support that coordinates maritime and aviation intelligence, resources, and trained personnel to respond to the threat posed by illicit drug trafficking by maritime and air conveyances.
