1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000 You 2 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:20,400 Frankfurt Germany 10 a.m. While certain people take a coffee break others prepare more explosive cocktails 3 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:33,200 We're now heading for the airport this man's goal is to enter the security area with a bomb 4 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:41,960 he passes himself off as an airline employee at the airport security screening point not 5 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,200 only passengers are checked all staff must also undergo checks this is a direct result 6 00:00:48,200 --> 00:01:00,080 of European regulations designed to deal with terrorist threats this man is an inspector 7 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,160 from the European Commission the bomb is an imitation and is used to test the vigilance 8 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,960 of airport security staff when checking airline employees staff screening is a very useful tool 9 00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:15,240 to add an additional security layer which avoids the introduction of prohibited articles by staff 10 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:20,440 members into the security restricted area the inspector continues his check of the airport 11 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:27,000 here at an entrance into the security area for authorized vehicles since the beginning of 2004 12 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,080 inspectors from the European Commission have been examining more than 30 airports a year in addition 13 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,480 to the regular inspections carried out by the member states the visits are always unannounced 14 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,800 the task of the inspectors is to point out the weaknesses in airport security and to help the 15 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,840 authorities concerned to correct them Europe has drawn lessons from the attacks of September 11th 16 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,200 2001 if there is a domain where it is necessary to act at the European level it is at the level of security 17 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:58,320 terrorists would be the first to draw from the weaknesses of the European mesh if they knew 18 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,080 that in a member state the security measures are not taken correctly they would quickly infiltrate 19 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:11,400 the point of Europe so we need high-level security standards and then we must 20 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,480 take good care of what we respect them that is why we do inspections to see if in the 21 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,360 airfields the security standards are well observed and not observed from time to time but observed 22 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:30,400 every day with the same rigor these new regulations also ensure the application of identical security 23 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:36,680 standards at all European airports on the tarmac the baggage handlers load and unload the aircraft 24 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:43,560 our undercover inspector verifies two things in particular first that baggage is not left 25 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:50,000 unattended as required by regulation and second that in this area access to aircraft is limited 26 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:57,720 only to authorize staff displaying badges no other person should be there demonstration 27 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:19,520 yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah this type of airport inspection generally 28 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:25,240 takes place over one week the airport's vulnerable points are all examined closely especially the 29 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,760 security screening points for passengers as the European inspector explains this is your 30 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,680 screening point is definitely one of the critical areas to be looked at during an inspection at an 31 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:42,560 airport what is extremely important that not only those passengers that cause an alarm of the walks 32 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,360 metal detector a hand search but that there are technical or manual means in place to ensure a 33 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,440 random selection of those passengers that would not cause an alarm of the walks metal detector 34 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,640 these passengers still have to be hand search in order to find also non-metallic 35 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,400 prohibited article like for example explosives 36 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,840 this European regulation obliges the member states to adopt the same tighter national 37 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,800 security plans in this way the European Union answers terrorist threats in a unified manner 38 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,920 the aim is of course not to make security measures more burdensome for passengers but 39 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:27,480 rather to guarantee passengers the maximum protection against threats with other advantages 40 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:36,600 as well the advantage of this is that you do not only get a harmonization in the application of 41 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,960 the air traffic control regulations but that this guarantee and this harmonization also 42 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:48,000 allow for a one-stop security system what is the advantage of a one-stop security system 43 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,560 that means that you come to a very passenger-friendly state on our airports 44 00:04:53,560 --> 00:05:00,240 where, for example, security measures such as booking that are made for passengers and 45 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,400 their luggage and hand luggage security measures taken at the departure airport 46 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:10,680 within Europe should not be repeated when a transfer is made to another flight 47 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:17,840 within Europe at a European airport Europe has adopted common aviation security 48 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:23,240 standards more secure air transport is good but other forms of transportation such as 49 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,720 maritime transport for example must also be considered in order to deal with terrorist 50 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:34,600 threats there will be a movement of a target movement of terrorist groups to which 51 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:40,080 we have already assisted we will perhaps attack an airport that will be hyper-secured but we will 52 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,640 attack suburban trains as it is done in Madrid as it is done in India where we will attack the 53 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:52,120 metro as it is done in London each mode of transport must in fact benefit from a real 54 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:59,920 safety but each mode of transport has its own constraints so on the maritime for example it 55 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:07,120 is important to know all the tracking know all the tracking of a container that left China 56 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:17,560 and that comes to Europe and for that we must link all the links of the chain all the actors of the 57 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:28,160 transport Rotterdam we are here at the port's coordination center the port has 80 kilometers 58 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:35,360 of wharves 85,000 ship movements per year 370 million tons of cargo and a container is moved 59 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:43,120 every six seconds along with airports ports are prime targets for terrorists there are three 60 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,560 reasons for this the first of course is the fact that when touching an airport an airplane or a 61 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,160 port we can make a maximum of victims and it is sought today by terrorists the second reason 62 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,440 is that by the destruction of equipment or by the interruption of activity we will create a 63 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,240 significant economic damage sometimes very important and the third reason is symbolic 64 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,000 we touch the freedom to circulate the freedom to travel which is extremely important in 65 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,360 modern society and obviously we will shock society if we attack the airport or the port 66 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:20,920 it has been proven and very clear that maritime transport is very vulnerable to attacks and the 67 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:27,040 world depends on maritime transport so not only the port of Rotterdam but hold the maritime 68 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:35,720 industry knows very well that something had to be done and I think we are on the right track with 69 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:44,240 implementing of the ISPS code we we made a very important first step the objective of European 70 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,960 legislation and the ISPS code the International Ship and Port Facility Code implemented after 71 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:58,560 the September 11 attacks is to make ports less vulnerable community legislation made 72 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,080 this code mandatory and applicable to all types of international and national traffic 73 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:11,640 all players are concerned administrations ports companies and ships of all types be 74 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:17,360 they passenger or container ships these rules have been in effect since July 2004 in Europe 75 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:24,000 and everywhere in the world before 2004 there were a lot of ports where they had no fencing and 76 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,760 no security cameras and quite often no security patrols as well so there was free access to 77 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:36,480 anybody wanted to go on to these terminals could actually go there this is what port 78 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:42,520 terminals have looked like since 2004 following the implementation of the regulations no one 79 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:47,800 can walk around freely anymore fences surround the entire area surveillance cameras keep a close 80 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,640 watch over the sector and access control is systematic for both visitors and road haulers 81 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:59,080 they must register themselves via the computer terminals when they enter the terminal
