The proposal comes following a recent report on aviation security funding and aims to ensure transparency, non discrimination and consulting the airline companies when they apply the charges.
These new rules on aviation security, following the increased risks after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, have required Member States to take measures which, inevitably, meant significant investment in infrastructure, technical equipment and human resources for most European airports.
However, passengers are not always adequately informed about the taxes they pay, and airlines are not systematically consulted in all EU airports. This prevents the creation of truly fair competition, both for airports and air carriers.
