This document discusses cargo screening at Brussels Airport. It notes that 44% of export cargo volumes, or 140,000 tons, will require additional screening. The airport is taking several steps to address this need, including: 1) Fully utilizing existing x-ray machines to screen an additional 80,000 tons of cargo. 2) Optimizing explosive detection dogs to screen 5,000 more tons. 3) Developing new explosive detection dog capacity to screen 35,000 more tons. 4) Creating a new central screening infrastructure to screen 20,000 more tons. The goal is to take a proactive approach and maintain Brussels Airport's position as a leading cargo hub with sufficient screening alternatives.

14. 2. Industry consultation
 Goal: available capacity and possible investments
 Individual talks: TBAC = neutral moderator
 Freight Forwarders
 Handling agents
 Airlines
 Security providers

 Conclusion:
 Exploit available infrastructure, by extending opening hours of existing X-ray operation
 Make use of EDD earlier in supply chain: screening at premises of Freight Forwarder
 manage uncertainty in business case for new investment
