"I welcome this resolution because we must ensure civil aviation security at EU level, based on an integrated one-stop approach to aviation security. I believe that body scanners can only be added to the list of authorised screening methods if an independent body carries out a comprehensive scientifically-based impact assessment. This assessment should take into account immediate and delayed effects and the long-term cumulative impact on human health, as well as risks to personal data, individual dignity and privacy. In addition, we must draw up common EU rules, minimum standards and procedures for the use of scanners. These measures must be implemented in order to properly protect the health and fundamental rights and interests of passengers, workers, crew members and security staff. It is also crucial to ensure that the random process of selecting passengers to pass through a body scanner is not based on discriminatory criteria. I would like to point out that I disagree with the statement that the detection performance of security scanners is higher than that offered by current metal detectors, particularly with regard to non-metallic objects and liquids, as this has yet to be proven scientifically."@en1
