Safety at Paris region hubs Annex 17 to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation of 7 December 1944 (known as ICAO Annex 17) sets out the international standards and recommended practices applicable to security. In the European Union, Regulation (EC) no. 300/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2008 establishing common rules in the field of civil aviation security interprets Annex 17 and sets the common basic security standards applicable in the Member States. In practice, the detailed measures for implementing these common basic standards are set out in an annex that is frequently updated by the European Commission, the latest version of which is Regulation 2015/1998 of 5 November 2015, as amended, laying down detailed measures for the implementation of the common basic standards on civil aviation security. In 12 areas, this annex sets out the obligations to be met by the Member States and the various air transport stakeholders, foremost among which are airfield operators. The application of these obligations translates into the implementation of the following functions: u screening of persons and baggage using technical or human resources to detect prohibited items on board aircraft; u security checks on baggage, freight and mail to prevent the introduction of prohibited items on board aircraft; u airside access and clearance controls to prevent the entry of unauthorised persons or vehicles; u measures relating to the implementation of surveillance in the form of patrols or other physical checks at various points around the airport. In France, security is governed by various codes and regulations. The general framework is set out in the French Transport Code [ Code des transports ], which stipulates that security measures are implemented by the various air transport operators under the authority of police powers. It also legalises the possibility, particularly for airport operators, of using private agents to screen people, their personal effects and baggage, and to inspect the vehicles for which they are responsible. A system of individual administrative authorisations is provided for in the French Civil Aviation Code [ Code de l’aviation civile ] to ensure the integrity of these agents. This code also includes various police measures applicable at airfields. The procedures for applying civil aviation security rules are set out in joint decrees issued by the Minister for Transport, the Minister for the Interior and, where these measures concern air freight security, the Minister for Customs. The amended order of 11 September 2013 on civil aviation security measures, which sets out most of the obligations for airport operators. For each airport, a decree setting out the local provisions of the applicable security measures is adopted by the competent prefect (definition of the different zones, access controls, etc.). The application of these measures is regularly monitored by the competent European and national authorities. At national level, supervision of the proper application of security measures is carried out by the French Civil Aviation Safety Directorate (DSAC), which acts as the competent authority within the meaning of European regulations. It has local teams that monitor the proper application of safety rules on the hubs on a daily basis.
