[01] EU experts to meet on air cargo security

Michele Cercone commented that the meeting will be held with the participation of experts in the detection of explosive devices and air cargo security.

Responding to a relevant question, he denied that the European Commission was the recipient of a parcel bomb stressing, however, that its security services are in a state of alert and all incoming parcels are being meticulously checked. (ÁÍÁ-ÌPA)
