Where security meets services
New EU regulations
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW EU REGULATIONS MEANS:
Commission Regulation (EG) nr. 300/2008
Article 13 Air carrier security programme
Every air carrier shall draw up, apply and maintain an air
carrier security programme. That programme shall describe
the methods and procedures which are to be followed by the
air carrier in order to comply both with this Regulation and
with the national civil aviationsecurity programme of the
Member State from which it provides services.
Article 14 Entity security programme
Every airline shall draw up, apply and maintain a security programme. That programme shall describe the methods and procedures which are to be followed by the entity in order to comply with the National Civil Aviation Security Programme of the Member State in respect of its operationsin that Member State.
The programme shall include internal quality control provisions describing how compliance with these methods and procedures is to be monitored by the entity itself.
The Commission, acting in cooperation with the appropriate authority of the Member State concerned, Airport Authorities and the Dutch Military Police (KMAR), will conduct inspections unannounced.
Upon request, the security programme of the entity applying aviation security standards shall be submitted to the appropriate authority, which may take further action if appropriate.
NEW EU REGULATIONS
Commission Regulation (EU) Nr. 185/2010
Whenever unauthorised* persons may have had access to security restricted areas, a security search of the parts that could have been contaminated shall be carried out as soon as possible in order to reasonably ensure that it does not contain prohibited articles. This provision shall be considered to be met for aircraft that are subject to an aircraft security search.
An aircraft shall be subjected to an aircraft security search any time after passenger disembarkation and/or the unloading of the hold. This in order to ensure that no prohibited articles are present on board.
Regardless of where an aircraft is parked at an airport, it shall be protected against unauthorised access by ensuring that persons seeking to gain unauthorised access are challenged promptly.
Where external doors are monitored, the monitoring shall ensure that unauthorised access to the aircraft is immediately detected.
*Unauthorised persons: All persons from outside the EU who could have had access to the aircraft, both passenger and cargo compartments, prior to departure. This also includes crew, as the security standards of third countries do not apply to the common basic security standards of the EU.
According to these regulations we provide fully trained and certified Aircraft Security & Safety agents!
