the case of passengers carrying liquids obtained at that
airport.

Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 should be amended
accordingly.

The measures contained in the present Regulation are not
included among those which, according to Article 8(1) of

countries and transferring at Community airports create
certain operational difficulties at these airports and cause
inconvenience to the passengers concerned.
