Division (11) Chapter 9 is amended as follows:

Point 9.0.4 is replaced by the following:

‘9.0.4.

The list of prohibited articles in airport supplies is the same as the one set out in Attachment 1-A. Prohibited articles shall be handled in accordance with point 1.6.’;

Point 9.1.3 is replaced by the following as of 1 March 2015:

‘9.1.3.

Designation of known suppliers

9.1.3.1.

Any entity (“the supplier”) that ensures the security controls as referred to in point 9.1.4 and delivers airport supplies shall be designated as a known supplier by the airport operator.

9.1.3.2.

In order to be designated as a known supplier, the supplier must provide the airport operator with:

1. (a)

   the “Declaration of commitments — known supplier of airport supplies” as contained in Attachment 9-A. This declaration shall be signed by the legal representative; and

2. (b)

   the security programme covering the security controls as referred to in point 9.1.4.

9.1.3.3.

All known suppliers must be designated on the basis of validations of:

1. (a)

   the relevance and completeness of the security programme in respect of point 9.1.4; and

2. (b)

   the implementation of the security programme without deficiencies.

If the appropriate authority or the airport operator is no longer satisfied that the known supplier complies with the requirements of point 9.1.4, the airport operator shall withdraw the status of known supplier without delay.

9.1.3.4.

The appropriate authority shall define in its national civil aviation security programme as referred to in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 if the validations of the security programme and its implementation shall be performed by a national auditor, an EU aviation security validator, or a person acting on behalf of the airport operator appointed and trained for that purpose.

Validations must be recorded and if not otherwise stated in this legislation, must take place before designation and repeated every 2 years thereafter.

If the validation is not done on behalf of the airport operator any record thereof must be made available to it.

9.1.3.5.

The validation of the implementation of the security programme confirming the absence of deficiencies shall consist of either:

1. (a)

   an on-site visit of the supplier every 2 years; or

2. (b)

   regular checks upon access to the security restricted area of supplies delivered by that known supplier, starting after the designation, including:

   • a verification that the person delivering supplies on behalf of the known supplier was properly trained; and

   • a verification that the supplies are properly secured; and

   • screening of the supplies in the same way as supplies coming from an unknown supplier.

   These checks must be carried out in an unpredictable manner and take place at least either, once every three months or on 20 % of the known supplier's deliveries to the airport operator.

Option b) may only be used if the appropriate authority defined in its national civil aviation security programme that the validation shall be performed by a person acting on behalf of the airport operator.

9.1.3.6.

The methods applied and procedures to be followed during and after designation shall be laid down in the security programme of the airport operator.

9.1.3.7.

The airport operator shall keep:

1. (a)

   a list of all known suppliers it has designated indicating the expiry date of their designation, and

2. (b)

   the signed declaration, a copy of the security programme, and any reports recording its implementation for each known supplier, at least until 6 months after the expiry of its designation.

Upon request, these documents shall be made available to the appropriate authority for compliance monitoring purposes.’;
