Separately they agreed on a new EU-wide requirement for all laptops to be removed at the checkpoint for scanning.
These recommendations would then have to be adotped into law by the EC.
Hopefully, the French will disregard this ill-conceived measure, just as they are currently not forcing passengers to take out their laptops.
