Translation of "Prepaid air mail item " (English → French) :

If the air carrier accepts transfer air cargo/air mail at this location (cargo/mail that departs on a different aircraft to the one it arrived on), does the air carrier establish on the basis of the given data whether or not further security controls need to be applied?

This screening is carried out: by a regulated agent (the air carrier, the agent or any other entity carrying out security checks), by a known consignor (the consignor who originates cargo or mail on its own account and whose procedures meet common security rules and standards sufficient to allow the carriage of cargo or mail) or by an account consignor (the consignor who originates cargo or mail for its own account and whose procedures meet common security rules and standards sufficient to allow carriage of that cargo on all-cargo aircraft or mail on all-mail ...[+++] aircraft).

"air carrier mail" means mail whose origin and destination are both an air carrier;

"cargo" means any property intended for carriage on an aircraft, other than baggage, mail, air carrier mail, air carrier materials and in-flight supplies;

The Commission also proposes clarifying a criterion used to define small airports at article 4(3); replacing the word "audit" with "compliance monitoring activities" at Article 7 of Regulation 2320/2002 to avoid ambiguity; and aligning the terminology used for air cargo and air mail in the annexe to the regulation.

4. Where mail is carried by air, Member States shall set the minimum insurance requirements in value for the carriage of mail by air carriers or aircraft operators without discrimination on grounds of nationality or identity of the air carrier or the aircraft operator.
