Regardless of where an aircraft is parked at an airport, each of its external doors shall be protected against unauthorised access by:
(a) ensuring that persons seeking to gain unauthorised access are challenged promptly; or
(b) having the external door closed. Where the aircraft is in a critical part, external doors that are not accessible by a person from the ground shall be considered closed if access aids have been removed and placed sufficiently far from the aircraft as to reasonably prevent access by a person; or
(c) having electronic means which will immediately detect unauthorised access; or;
(d) having an electronic airport identification card access system at all doors leading directly to the passenger boarding bridge, adjacent to an open aircraft door, which only allows access for persons that are trained in accordance with point 11.2.3.7. Such persons must ensure that unauthorised access is prevented, during their use of the door.’;

As regards aircraft security, the following third countries, as well as other countries and territories to which, in accordance with Article 355 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union Title VI of that Treaty does not apply, have been recognised as applying security standards equivalent to the common basic standards:

The appropriate authorities of the Member States shall be notified without delay when the Commission has information about actions, including compensatory measures, confirming that the equivalency of relevant security standards applied by the third country or other country or territory concerned is re-established.’;
