"Mr President, harmonising protection regulations in civil aviation can increase the level of security. In this respect, we must ensure that there is sufficient democratic control over the decisions that are taken in the framework of comitology and that therefore largely remain outside of the public domain and out of Parliament’s control. As this involves sensitive and confidential information, it is understandable that people should wish to keep this out of the public domain, but it does make it all the more necessary for Parliament to be able to closely monitor the implementing measures that were agreed behind closed doors.
As a consequence, the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left supports Amendments 61 and 62 which provide for democratic supervision. We think it would be a good thing if the Advisory Group did not remain restricted to professional organisations, but was extended to include representatives of passenger interests organisations and of groups that campaign for the protection of civil liberties.
Another aspect that caught our particular attention is the so-called sky marshals. In order to prevent arbitrariness and accidents in future, it is necessary to draw up common rules for deploying armed security officers on board aircraft. Along with other speakers, I doubt whether an armed presence on board would enhance security."@en1
