wil  come to fruition this year. The team has been reinforced with an experienced 
aviation official coming from the aviation Directorate,
, whom you 
may know, who wil  provide additional support to this task. The current objective is to 
finalise the work of all work streams before the summer and to have a strategic 
discussion with Member States (format to be decided) in the second half of the year. 
 
BACKGROUND: MOVE A5 launched in 2020 a discussion on a new “AVSEC 
strategy”, the purpose of which was to reflect on a strategic vision for the future of 
aviation security.  While delayed by COVID19 pandemic priorities, the work resumed 
in earnest in 2021. This includes input from various work streams in the areas of risked 
based security, security culture and holistic approach, innovation, and aviation security 
standards. At this stage, we are drafting, for each of the work streams, a concept paper 
that structures the ideas that emerged from the discussions. We wil  be circulating 
them to the participants for review. We may also need to organise some additional 
meetings. We intend to conclude preparatory discussions on the Aviation Security 
Strategy in the second half of this year. The outcome of this process wil  give clarity 
about the regulatory work that can be developed until the end of the current 
Commission.
