EU to review passenger screening process
Print Edition
EUROPEAN Union health ministers yesterday agreed to launch an immediate review of the screening of passengers departing Ebola-hit countries in West Africa, EU health commissioner Tonio Borg said.
A ministers meeting in Brussels also agreed to “coordinate” measures at entry points to the 28-nation EU, though any decision on screening for Ebola rests with individual countries.
The European Commission “will immediately undertake an audit of exit screening systems in place in the affected countries ... to check their effectiveness,” Borg told reporters.
The review of the exit screening in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone will be conducted in coordination with the World Health Organization, he said.
