00:00New airport security screening equipment capable of scanning the contents of large liquid containers could soon be deployed across the European Union.
00:11This means passengers would be able to bring bottles containing more than 100 millilitres when travelling.
00:17The European Commission is now awaiting final approval from the Civil Aviation Conference before deploying the new equipment at airports.
00:26Once we get the final report and the findings from ICAC, we will be able to give the green light and then it's for the airports to put everything in place and inform the passengers.
00:39Under the current EU rules, liquids, aerosols and gels included in hand luggage must be packed in containers holding no more than 100 millilitres.
00:49Several terminals in Italy already have the new screening system at their disposal but are not yet permitted to use them.
