THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

IL-KUMMISSJONI EWROPEA,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Wara li kkunsidrat it-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation security and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002 [1] and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,

Wara li kkunsidrat ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 300/2008 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tal- 11 ta’ Marzu 2008 dwar regoli komuni fil-qasam tas-sigurtà tal-avjazzjoni ċivili u li jħassar ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 2320/2002 [1], u b’mod partikolari l-Artikolu 4(3) tiegħu,

Whereas:

Billi:

(1) In accordance with Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 the Commission should adopt detailed measures for the implementation of common basic standards referred to in Article 4(1) and of general measures supplementing common basic standards referred to in Article 4(2) of that Regulation.

(1) Skont l-Artikolu 4(3) tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 300/2008, il-Kummissjoni għandha tadotta miżuri dettaljati għall-implimentazzjoni tal-istandards bażiċi komuni msemmija fl-Artikolu 4(1) u tal-miżuri ġenerali li jissupplimentaw l-istandards bażiċi komuni msemmija fl-Artikolu 4(2) ta’ dak ir-Regolament.

(2) If they contain sensitive security measures, these measures should be regarded as EU classified information within the meaning of Commission Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom of 29 November 2001 amending internal rules of procedure [2], as provided for by Article 18 point (a) of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 and should therefore not be published. These measures should be adopted separately, by means of a Decision addressed to the Member States.

(2) Jekk ikun fihom miżuri ta’ sigurtà sensittivi, dawn il-miżuri għandhom jitqiesu bħala tagħrif tal-UE ikklassifikat fi ħdan it-tifsira tad-Deċiżjoni tal-Kummissjoni 2001/844/KE, il-KEFA, il-Euratom tad- 29 ta’ Novembru 2001 li temenda r-regoli interni tal-proċedura [2], kif ipprovdut bl-Artikolu 18, il-punt (a) tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 300/2008 u għalhekk ma għandhomx jiġu ppubblikati. Dawn il-miżuri għandhom jiġu adottati separatament, permezz ta’ Deċiżjoni indirizzata lill-Istati Membri.

(3) Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 shall apply in full as from the date specified in the implementing rules adopted in accordance with the procedures referred to in Article 4(2) and 4(3) of that Regulation but not later than 29 April 2010. This Regulation should therefore apply as from 29 April 2010 in order to harmonise the application of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 and its implementing acts.

(3) Ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 300/2008 għandu japplika bis-sħiħ mid-data speċifikata fir-regoli tal-implimentazzjoni adottati skont il-proċeduri msemmija fl-Artikolu 4(2) u 4(3) ta’ dak ir-Regolament iżda mhux aktar tard mid- 29 ta’ April 2010. Dan ir-Regolament għandu għalhekk japplika mid- 29 ta’ April 2010 sabiex tiġi armonizzata l-applikazzjoni tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 300/2008 u l-atti li jimplimentawh.

(4) Methods, including technologies, for detection of liquid explosives will develop over time. In line with technological developments and operation experiences both at Community and global level, the Commission will make proposals, whenever appropriate, to revise the technological and operation provisions on the screening of liquids, aerosols and gels.

(4) Il-metodi, inklużi t-teknoloġiji, użati għall-individwazzjoni tal-esplożivi likwidi se jiżviluppaw fuq perjodu ta’ żmien. Skont l-iżviluppi teknoloġiċi u l-esperjenzi tal-operat, kemm f’livell Komunitarju u globali, il-Kummissjoni se tagħmel proposti, meta hu xieraq, sabiex tirrevedi d-dispożizzjonijiet teknoloġiċi u dwar l-operat tal-iskrinjar tal-likwidi, aerosols u ġellijiet.

(5) Commission Regulations (EC) No 1217/2003 of 4 July 2003 laying down common specifications for national civil aviation security quality control programmes [3], (EC) No 1486/2003 of 22 August 2003 laying down procedures for conducting Commission inspections in the field of civil aviation security [4], (EC) No 1138/2004 of 21 June 2004 establishing a common definition of critical parts of security restricted areas at airports [5] and (EC) No 820/2008 of 8 August 2008 laying down measures for the implementation of the common basic standards on aviation security [6], which all implemented Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2002 establishing common rules in the field of civil aviation security [7], should therefore be repealed.

(5) Ir-Regolamenti tal-Kummissjoni (KE) Nru 1217/2003 tal- 4 ta’ Lulju 2003 li jistabbilixxi speċifikazzjonijiet komuni għal programmi ta’ kontroll ta’ kwalità għas-sigurtà tal-avjazzjoni ċivili nazzjonali [3], (KE) Nru 1486/2003 tat- 22 ta’ Awwissu 2003 li jistabbilixxi proċeduri sabiex jitmexxew spezzjonijiet mill-Kummissjoni fil-qasam tas-sigurta’ tal-avjazzjoni ċivili [4], (KE) Nru 1138/2004 tal- 21 ta’ Ġunju 2004 li jistabbilixxi tifsira komuni għal partijiet kritiċi taż-żoni ta’ sigurtà ristretta fl-ajruporti [5], u (KE) Nru 820/2008 tat- 8 ta’ Awwissu 2008 li jistipula miżuri għall-implimentazzjoni tal-istandards bażiċi komuni dwar is-sigurtà fl-avjazzjoni [6], li kollha implimentaw ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 2320/2002 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tas- 16 ta’ Diċembru 2002 li jistabbilixxi regoli komuni fil-qasam tas-sigurtà fl-avjazzjoni ċivili [7] għandhom għalhekk jiġu rrevokati.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Civil Aviation Security set up by Article 19(1) of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008,

(6) Il-miżuri pprovduti f’dan ir-Regolament huma skont l-opinjoni tal-Kumitat dwar is-Sigurtà tal-Avjazzjoni Ċivili stabbilit bl-Artikolu 19(1) tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 300/2008,

(d) a regulated agent shall not be considered as approved until its details are listed in the "EC database of regulated agents and known consignors".

(d) Aġent regolat ma għandux jitqies approvat qabel ma d-dettalji tiegħu jiddaħħlu fil-"bażi tad-dejta tal-KE tal-aġenti regolati u l-kunsinnaturi magħrufa".

6.3.1.3 A regulated agent shall designate at least one person at each site who shall be responsible for the implementation of the submitted security programme. This person shall have successfully completed a background check in accordance with point 11.1.

An inspection at the premises of the regulated agent by the appropriate authority in accordance with its national quality control programme may be considered as an on-site verification, provided that it covers all the requirements necessary for approval.

Il-partijiet tat-tagħbija tat-trakkijiet bi pjattaforma għall-ġarr se jinżammu taħt osservazzjoni meta l-merkanzija bl-ajru tkun qiegħda tiġi ttrasportata,

- immediately prior to loading, the load compartment will be searched and the integrity of this search maintained until loading is completed,

- Bejn il-ġbir u t-twassil, is-sewwieqa mhumiex se jieqfu f’postijiet li ma jkunux inklużi fl-iskeda. Meta dan ma jkunx jista’ jiġi evitat, is-sewwieq se jiċċekkja s-sigurtà tat-tagħbija u l-integrità tal-qofol u/jew tas-siġilli malli jasal lura. Jekk is-sewwieq jiskopri kwalunkwe evidenza ta’ interferenza, se jinnotifika lis-superviżur tiegħu u l-merkanzija bl-ajru/posta bl-ajru mhux se titwassal mingħajr notifika waqt it-twassil tagħha,
