In 2012, the European Commission published a staff working document that was principally concerned with extending the Commission's involvement in transport security matters. This report examines how the United Kingdom could be affected by this further involvement. Land transport security measures seek to prevent acts of unlawful interference against passengers, freight or transport infrastructure in the road and rail sectors. Unlawful interference, as referred to in the European Commission's document, includes anything from terrorism to relatively minor crime against passengers and transport operators. The Committee felt that the conflation of such wide-ranging security issues was not helpful, and urged the Government to ensure that any future EU land security transport proposals were more focussed. |
