On September 10, 2009 the European Commission (EC) will hold a conference on Container Security in Bremen, Germany. According to the EC, the Port of Bremen accounts for 22% of the trade between the European Union (EU) and the United States (US). Container Security is at everyone’s most interest, and the EU is no exception, which is why they are addressing all security factors within the supply chain.According to the EC, research is underway to develop new container security technology that will improve secure the international supply chain.

One of the benefits that will hopefully be obtained by the conference will be the control and monitoring of container cargo between the EU and the US. New technological advances and more R&D for container security will also be important topics that will be further discussed.
