Security at the country’s airports is to be beefed up, with Libyan officials meeting EU specialists yesterday to discuss finding ways for different departments to cooperate.
In the first training session run by the EU Integrated Border Assistance Mission in Libya (EUBAM Libya), officials attended from the country’s four biggest airports – Tripoli, Misrata, Sebha and Benghazi.
Airport staff, including representatives from immigration, customs, border police and aviation security, took part in workshops on ‘Multi-Agency Threat and Risk Assessment’ and Multi-Agency Control Operation.’
“This seminar is a very good example of how we as Libyans can work together coordinating the activities of our airports,” said the Head of Aviation Security at Tripoli Airport, Taher Al Mahmoudi. “It is a very good start of our cooperation,” he added.
EUBAM Libya, set up following an invitation by the Libyan Government, will support the Libyan authorities in developing border management and security at the country’s land, sea and air borders.
The mission will focus on the transfer of knowledge, via training, mentoring and advice. This will include helping Libya develop a national Integrated Border Management strategy.
“We are here to assist you, but you will do the job,” the Finnish EUBAM Libya Head of Mission, Antti Hartikainen, told the participants.
