"The issue of security for civil aviation has been one of the EU’s top priorities. Several initiatives have been adopted to create an integrated approach to aviation security, so as to achieve a high level of security for the public. Body scanners have been considered as an additional protection instrument, and the number of Member States – Finland, the Netherlands, France, Italy and the United Kingdom – using body scanners, with the intention of improving their ability to detect banned objects that cannot be detected by current metal detectors, such as explosives, liquids or plastics, has increased.
I agree that there should be a common level of protection of citizens, and that European regulations should be adopted that are to be applied by any Member State opting to use this method of scanning. This should include common technical standards and operational conditions which ensure that the inherent risk to personal data protection, to passengers’ privacy and dignity, and to human health is minimised. Passengers should be provided with sufficient information about all aspects of using scanners and be offered a real alternative to these checks. The workers responsible for using the scanners should be subject to appropriate training and to a code of professional ethics."@en1
