European Commission Questions German Compliance with EU Airport Security Monitoring Standards

Citing concerns about substandard oversight of airport security procedures by the German government, the European Commission has referred Germany to the EU Court of Justice for noncompliance with EU Regulation 300/2008. The EC was careful to state that it has no evidence that actual security practices at German airports have been inadequate, but that it believes the frequency and scope of monitoring by German authorities does not comport with EU requirements.
