  5. The impact of transport unsecurity • Temporary drop in activity for certain modes • Need for searching emergency alternatives, implying high cost • Alternatives run up to capacity limits, implying high prices and excess surplus • A number of flows come to a halt • Some subsequent production activities get stopped • Insurance premia rise • Less government income • Missed contracts • Longer-run reliability of certain modes • Permanent relocation of flows

  7. The benefits of security measures • For transport sector: • Saving time spent on research, follow-up and compensation • Improved working conditions • Customer confidence • For countries: • Decreased funding to criminal activities • Country confidence • For producers: • Safer market accessibility • Continuity of supply • No market share loss

  8. The need for a global approach • Attacks have led to closer co-operation between EU and US, but also some strong disagreement • 2004: air passenger name records • 2004: ship 24-hour notice • 2006: liquids in air transport • 2006: financing: public security support is no competitive distortion and no unlawful state aid • 2006: ‘secure operator’ status: protest • 2012?: 100% scanning rule

  9. Issues • One size fits all? • Where does supply chain stop and end? • New entry and trade barrier
