Patrick Kanner, you participated Tuesday in a meeting whose theme was security around Euro 2016 to be held next summer in France … For two
years working on security issues around the European Football Championships. Since the attacks that hit France in January 2015, we enhanced security conditions around stadiums and fan zones that will receive millions of fans. He was never to remove the event. They had asked the question regarding the fan zones. But this morning, unanimously, we decided to keep them.
These attacks do not change?
The attacks confirms that the measures that we have already taken are the right ones. That is to say, the gates at the entrance of the fan zones, surveillance cameras everywhere, strengthening of national police resources around the sites. Never a sporting event will have been as secure as Euro 2016.
What about the friendly match next Tuesday between France and Russia at the Stade de France?
The match will take place. It is clear that we will have the same safety conditions as for the recent matches of the Six Nations Tournament. That is to say a double securing at the inputs. also asked fans to come early so that everyone can live a moment of joy in perfect conditions.
Zero risk does not exist
therefore does not fall within the security level another notch. It is already optimum?
It is actually optimum in terms of what today can be a human and technical level. Put portals everywhere, make systematic palpation … For Euro 2016 there will be 2.5 million palpation at the time of entry in the stadiums and there will be seven or eight million for the fan zones . Bernard Cazeneuve (Interior Minister) is a phrase that I take on my level “must be 100% of caution knowing that zero risk does not exist and we must accept it.” You have to trust the security forces.
Composure and determination
What are the main measures that were recorded during the meeting day?
first, safe places by state police presence around the fan zones. Second, pat-downs and porticoed entrance of fan-zones, CCTV outside and inside of the fan zones, private security means attendance and municipal police within the fan zones. So we are really at a maximum level of security for these tools that meet between 10 000 and 100 000 people depending on the site, as I recall.
Have you talked with Noel Graët, ? President of the FFF, to the events of the day
the mindset of the Federation is “coolness, determination and will not give in to fear ‘ . It is also the government, the host cities and UEFA. We head straight and do not let impress.
You are Minister of Sports, but in that context, you’re more focused on security?
> the security steering committee is co-driven by Bernard Cazeneuve on the front line and I with him. This sporting event is outsized and security means to be outsized too. We need everyone to know but also those who want to harm us know that we do not let them.
