    Slide 9: SECURITY

    General Principles: The development of security safeguards requires an international approach. Distortion of competition through such measures should be avoided. Security measures should be balanced and based on proper risk assessment. Measures aimed at fighting terrorism should be integrated with measures aimed at fighting traditional security problems (organised crime, piracy, fraud, smuggling and illegal immigration) Co-operation between all parties in the transport chain and all relevant authorities is essential.

Further dialogue essential before making proposals. M I F Group Transport
