Why has the European Union made an agreement with the USA on sharing the Passenger Names Record (PNR) data of air carriers?
The U.S. Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 19th November 2001 introduced the requirement that airlines operating passenger flights to, from or through the United States provide US authorities, upon request, with electronic access to PNR data contained in their reservation and departure control systems. The agreement between the European Union and the USA is intended to meet security and data protection requirements through assurances provided by the USA. This provides a Europe-wide solution, legally binding in all Member States, and the necessary legal certainty for all concerned.
