"The security of civil aviation is an issue that the EU cannot neglect, since globalisation, for all its positive aspects, also opens the door to international criminals and terrorist acts, with unforeseeable consequences for public safety. Nonetheless, and given that 100% security is impossible, there is a need to impose mechanisms that safeguard security but, at the same time, do not threaten fundamental rights. In this specific case, the introduction of security scanners in European airports will not just enable the reinforcement of security, but will also reduce passenger disruption. The introduction of these scanners through harmonised rules for the whole EU, which regulate conditions and common standards for detection performance, will also take into account health risks for passengers and staff. I believe it is important to commit to the technological development of scanners for uniform application in all the Member States, not least as regards restrictions imposed on liquids, aerosols and gels since 2006. Another point I would like to stress is closer monitoring of cargo and post originating in third countries, by exchanging best practices, sharing information and training airport staff."@en1
