Air passenger data: MEPs look to the future

MEPs in the Civil Liberties Committee of the European Parliament put forward a three point plan on the 1 June 2006 to ensure that the EU is able quickly to reach a new agreement with the United States on the transfer of personal data by airlines flying to America which respects proper standards of data protection, and gives the Parliament a real say on the content. The meeting came two days after the Court of Justice’s decision to annul the EU’s current agreement with the United States.
