Amendment to the main Regulation made by the European Commission without any consultation with the European or national parliaments: Commission Regulation (1546/2006) laying down measures for the implementation of the common basic standards on aviation security (Official Journal of the EU, censored version) which says: "ANNEX: In accordance with Article 1 the annex is secret and shall not be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.":

Full-text of the censored Annex (pdf)

Tony Bunyan, Statewatch editor, comments:

"The new liquid rules were adopted in secret by the Commission. There is nothing in the text of the Annex which should not be public, indeed quite the reverse, publication would ensure that people know what the new rules are - and have some basis for complaint if they are interpreted in an arbitrary way".
