More powers for security guards at airports to tackle nuisance
Official title: Wetsvoorstel tot wijziging van de wet van 2 oktober 2017 tot regeling van de private en bijzondere veiligheid betreffende de uitbreiding van de bevoegdheden van bewakingsagenten op luchthavens.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- Airport security guards will be allowed to ask people without a valid access pass to leave a designated area, and forcibly remove them if necessary.
- This affects airport visitors, travellers, security staff, and the police, who will need to intervene less often for general nuisance issues.
- If you are in a designated airport area, you must be able to show a valid ticket or pass; if you refuse to leave without one, security guards can make you leave.
