"Mr President, I too should like to thank the rapporteur, Mr de Grandes Pascual, for this valuable report. Together with the Commission’s proposals, this will certainly pave the way for greater aviation security. We must do everything we can to guarantee passenger safety, with particular attention – as numerous Members have said – to the health and privacy of the travelling public. I think that this report contains important specifications on both these points.
However, today’s decision makes it possible, but not compulsory, to introduce scanners. Each Member State will decide independently on whether or not it wants to use this technology. As a result, there is no uniform security standard in the EU, just a patchwork of countries using this technology. There is no absolute security, but the system should be as coherent and efficient as possible and the technique used is just one aspect of that. It may be as good and as progressive as you want, but we need well-trained and committed security staff operating the equipment. Airport operators often cut back in the wrong places, which is why I am in favour of high standards in working conditions, in training and further training for security staff and in health protection.
Another important aspect is freight controls. Here too the report calls for greater use of scanners and specialist staff. I think that stronger controls are also needed at airports outside the Union."@en1
