"This regulation provides for ‘a greater degree of harmonisation’ of common rules in the field of civil aviation security at EU level – such as, for example, on the screening of passengers and cabin baggage, access control and aircraft security checks – repealing the 2002 regulation adopted as a result of the events of 11 September 2001 in the USA.
Among the aspects we criticised was that there was no guarantee – quite the reverse – that the costs of providing security measures would not be passed on to the users of these services, which are clearly public services. Nor is there even any guarantee that users will not be faced with a surcharge to cover those measures. Moreover, there is no clarification about the removal of a whole set of security measures which have already been widely criticised, in particular as to whether they are actually effective.
It is also striking that, in relation to workers, limiting access to ‘airside’ for security reasons has been used to restrict workers’ freedom to form a trade union. The current text offers no guarantee that such abuse would be prevented or such rights protected. Finally, the regulation clearly opens the door to the presence of armed personnel on flights, a measure which we consider to be mistaken, even for reasons of security."@en1
