".
The Council is aware of the problem posed by the need to strike a balance between security concerns and trade efficiency. The question of the development of consistent cargo security requirements and a need to ensure minimal damage to trade is regularly raised in the framework of EU-US policy dialogue on transport and border security.
In this context, the EU-US agreement on the container security initiative signed last April, aims to agree mutually acceptable and reciprocal standards that would make burdensome additional controls upon arrival of goods in the US unnecessary. In particular, this agreement sets up a working group designed
to improve and establish standards practicable for industry partnership programmes, to improve supply-chain security and facilitate the movement of legitimate trade.
Also in the context of the EU-US policy dialogue on transport and border security, the EU is actively seeking US cooperation regarding the US bioterrorism act, in order to eliminate any potential negative impacts of this legislation on EU exports to the US.
Regarding the practical measures to be implemented in order to facilitate international trade activities with the US, to the benefit of EU firms, the Council invites the honourable Member to raise this question with the Commission."@en1
