EU states urged to share more intelligence with airports

EU aviation security experts have agreed that police and intelligence agencies should share more information with transport authorities and operators to help prevent attacks like the bombings in Brussels. The strikes on Zaventem reignited a debate about how to secure Europe's airports without creating too much disruption for passengers. At an emergency meeting of the Committee for Civil Aviation Security, experts reviewed existing security measures in landside areas of EU airports. EU transport commissioner Violeta Bulc said they agreed on the need for better intelligence-sharing in order to be "even more proactive and even more efficient in safety". However, any additional security measures must be proportionate and risk-based, she added. "This is a matter for national authorities." <br/>
