(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
The restrictions on liquids, aerosols and gels carried by passengers arriving on flights from third countries and transferring at Union airports create certain operational difficulties at those airports and cause inconvenience to the passengers concerned.
Those exemptions have facilitated operations and convenience as regards transfer passengers carrying liquids, aerosols and gels arriving on flights from third countries and transferring at Union airports, whilst maintaining a high level of aviation security. Provided that the conditions under which those exemptions were granted continue to be met at those airports in third countries, those benefits should be retained.
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Civil Aviation Security set up by Article 19(1) of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
