Completing the adoption of an EU PNR Directive

The compromise text on the long-debated proposal for an EU PNR (Passenger Name Records) Directive was due to be voted in the European Parliament plenary session in April 2016. It aimed at uniformly regulating the processing and sharing of passenger name records by Member States in the fight against terrorism and serious crimes, while putting in place a series of data protection safeguards.
