EU proposes standard certificate for airport security

By

The EU commission Wednesday proposed a single certification procedure for aviation security screening equipment, such as screening of people, cabin luggage and goods, to promote competitiveness in the security industry, which has an annual EU turnover of €4.2 billion.
