Security advisers from the North Sea nations agreed to work out a pact to jointly protect critical sub-sea gas pipelines and power cables, telecoms connections and wind farms.
Several nations attending the North Sea Summit in Belgium on Monday will work on an agreement that will allow the use of drones to monitor key sites, according to a document seen by Bloomberg News. The plan is to set up a cross-border information sharing platform for security incidents and enable action to be taken to help in the territorial waters of the member countries.
