BRUSSELS 09 February – The events of 9/11 led to a sharp increase in awareness of potential security risks at cruise ports, but there is still room for improvement, according to Paolo Costa, chairman of transport and tourism committee of the EU Parliament. “We do not have the same kind of security as we do at airports at all (cruise) ports yet – despite the ISPS Code,” Costa told Euromoney's cruise industry conference in Brussels on Tuesday. In broard terms, security is an issue that concerns all EU member countries, but the question is who should pay for it. “Is it a private fear or a public concern?” Costa asked. He answered his own question by saying that security fears are a public concern, but currently addressing the issue is primarily the responsibility of each member state.
