Screening av Cargo

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


MONTREAL, 17 November 2010 ─ The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has adopted more stringent air cargo security standards, as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance the overall security of air transport operations worldwide.
The new measures emphasize more extensive screening of cargo, mail and other goods prior to placing them on board aircraft and better protection from unauthorized interference from the point where security controls are applied until departure of the aircraft.
Also included is the strengthening of provisions related to the deployment of security equipment, the security of air traffic service providers, training programmes and instructor certification systems, and cyber threats.

Merk deg at det her er snakk om "standards". Dette er noe som skal etterleves av medlemslandene, i motsetning til "recommendations" som en kan ha andre løsninger på.
