Ministers back civil aviation security rules

06.03.2008 / 00:00 CET

Ministers have backed an update to the civil aviation security rules that were introduced after the 11 September 2001 terrorists attacks on the US. One innovation is the one-stop-shop security principle: passengers and cargo that have been through security procedures in a third country meeting EU standards should not have to go through EU procedures too. The European Parliament is expected to endorse the deal formally during its plenary session of 10-14 March.
