Recital 2
2. The collection of charges with respect to the provision of air navigation services and groundhandling services has already been addressed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1794/2006 of 6 December 2006 laying down a common charging scheme for air navigation services and Council Directive 96/67/EC of 15 October 1996 on access to the groundhandling market at Community airports, respectively. Increasing investments for installing new security screening and scanning machines at airports should not lead to saving money in the field of personnel and watering down health, education and social standards for the personnel concerned within the framework of liberalised security services. The Commission should therefore propose additional guarantees in favour of security personnel at airports, when reviewing the abovementioned ground handling legislation.
