EC/United States agreement: processing and transfer of passenger name record data (PNR) by air carriers

The committee adopted the report by Johanna BOOGERD-QUAAK (ELDR, NL) rejecting the draft agreement between the EU and the USA on the transfer by air carriers of passenger data to the USA (consultation procedure). The committee decided to seek the opinion of the Court of Justice on the compatibility of the Agreement with the EC Treaty, and called on the Council to refrain from concluding the agreement until the Court had delivered its opinion. �
