Validation of 3 rd Country Handling Facilities and carrier driven 3 rd country Regulated Agent and Known Consignor regime to be implemented by July 1st, 2014.

10 Todays key Global issues of Security Requirements imposed by regulators increase in volume and complexity. Is 100% screening on piece level the final goal for cargo & mail. (Indian scenario). The recent efforts of the Commission in favour of EU air carriers in their discussions with the US TSA are highly appreciated! But there is still a long road ahead: Since most EU carriers operate a hub and spoke system, one stop security starting at the first point of loading is of paramount importance. Additional screening at the Last Point of Departure as required under the new EU Latest EU Commission drafts policy: - Export of own security regime to 3 rd countries instead of bilateral or multilateral recognition. - Consequence: Interruption of logistics processes i.s.o. one stop security! - Implementation of 3 rd country RA/KC through EU air carriers is not a feasible solution. - Validation of 3 rd country handling sites is an additional requirement. The target may be 3 rd country air carriers but EU carriers will be also affected although they already safeguard security through their Aviation Security Programmes. Probably we are already there. New technologies recommended by TSA and followed by EU for air cargo screening is a challenge. BLR & HYD already asked for IV certification. Limited IV on global basis is a big challenge.

11 Todays Indian security scenario for air cargo BCAS circular no. 8/2008 on Comprehensive security procedures in respect of cargo, express cargo, mail and courier bags is valid which allows four categories of security measures : 1. Account Customer for freighter class cargo 1. Known consignor (original producer or manufacturer of goods) 1. Regulated Agent concept warehouse operator at or OFF the airport 2. Airlines Security Measures Cargo can only be forwarded on aircraft after 100% X-ray screening. In case cargo is not good for x-ray then physical check by qualified person becomes mandatory. Security function at the aircraft can only be performed by Indian Air carriers having international operation from that airport.

12 Challenges related to security at Indian Airports Cargo coming in loose condition rarely on skids or in ULDs. Cargo coming to airport during a short duration due to traffic restrictions and consolidation at agent premises (24/7 not in full use). Packages required for examination are identified after entry in examination area which itself is a threat (DEL exception). Multiple agencies performing the X-ray and therefore causing delay. Insufficient well qualified security staff with cat.12 qualification. Old warehouses not designed according to 100% X-ray requirement. Transportation chain is not linked with certification (open entry for Truckers). Various agencies involved in truck dock, examination & bonded area. Validation by EU commission by 30Jun14 itself is a challenge. (MOCA/BCAS).

13 Proposed recommendations for improvement Creation of strong links between Customs and Security at one location AFS is answer to above if one agency is missing at any location then chances of opening of packages and handling loose becomes imperative. Introduction of RMS by Customs can assist in restricting the examination at the airport and advantages of certified under known shipper concept can be availed. Sniffer Dog or any other technology without heavy investment (x-ray machine) should also be recognised by the security agency in India. In HKG 98% cargo comes under BUP/SLU concept and therefore just one airport is able to manage 4.0 mil tons p.a. from a single location. Installation of CCTV in parking, truck dock, examination, bonded, ramp area and transportation road to ramp side with full coverage is highly recommended. Installation of video surveillance with 30 days recording time of footage is required in built-up area. Participation from shipper trucking co forwarders H/A Carrier GHA in entire supply chain is required with responsibility to have secured freight.
