After the attacks of September 11, 2001, the Commission adopted Regulation (EC) no. 2320/2002 of December 16, 2002, to impose rules, measures and procedures unique to air safety. Regulation covers, inter alia, the following areas: passenger safety checks, safety zones at airports, control staff, safe configuration in the cockpit, training and air-ground communication. Regulation requires Member States to introduce national security programs for civil air traffic. In September 2005 the Commission submitted a proposal for revision of the Regulation [COM (2005) 429]. In early 2008, the European Parliament and Council have reached agreement on the new Regulation (EC) no. 300/2008 of 11 March 2008, which regulate, among other things, safety during flight, such as access to the cockpit, carrying of weapons or appointing safety attendants (sky marshals).
