Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

General Scheme of the Irish Aviation Authority (Amendment) Bill 2017: Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. James Gavin:

There is a common basic standard of regulation within Europe. As has been mentioned, the threat vector is shifting all the time and there are emerging threats. In 2014, explosives trace detection was introduced by the Commission and it might be necessary to detect emerging threats and new technologies. It could possibly place greater expense on the regulated entity to ensure it complies with whatever regulation is deemed necessary by the European Commission.
