Session I - Air Cargo Security in an Age of Global Terrorism:
Achieving Increased Security with Improved Facilitation
Air cargo plays a vital role in the global supply chain and the global
economy. Former Commissioner Bonner will discuss the risk management
approach to cargo security developed by US Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) following 9/11, and why the "Twin Goals" of security and facilitation
became the organizing principle for CBP and, ultimately, US policy.
He will describe the key initiatives and programs developed to achieve
increased security and improved facilitation simultaneously. These
programs are now being adopted on a multinational basis pursuant to
the World Customs Organization's SAFE Framework of Standards to Secure
and Facilitate Global Trade. He will suggest how the WCO Framework
can and should be applied to international air cargo.

Session
II - Closing the Links
Is it possible to establish a secure global air logistics supply chain
with world-wide uniform standards? Regulations must be standardized
across the globe as far as possible and not applied piecemeal by individual
states. Who would establish, certify and monitor such standards? An
update of air cargo security regulations and procedures now in place
and those proposed. (A roundtable discussion) |

Session
IV - Turbulence Over the Atlantic – Continuing efforts
to arrive at an Open Skies agreement between the United States and
the European Union. Both the U.S. House of Representatives and a
Senate Committee have blocked the Bush administration’s proposal
to ease restrictions on foreign investment in U.S. airlines. Openness
to foreign investment is an EU prerequisite for an air services
agreement with the EU. Some U.S. opposition stems from homeland
security concerns, and this is supported by some labor unions who
fear that any influence of overseas investors could weaken their
position and cost jobs.
