Aviation security measures 
 
On 27 January the TRAN Committee had a general debate on aviation security with the European Commission in view of recent developments like the failed attempt to attack an airplane on its way to the US, the phasing out of the ban on liquids and the use of body scanners to screen passengers on airports.

Reporting formalities for ships 
 
On 27 January, the Rapporteur, Dirk Sterckx, presented his draft report including 27 amendments to the Commission's proposal. These seek to ensure that procedures are not only simplified but harmonised and to promote cooperation between transport, customs, public health and safety organisations.
