On 25 June 2014, the EU and Canada signed their new agreement on the processing and transfer of Passenger Name Record (PNR) data by air carriers to the Canadian competent authorities. The goal of the agreement is to set a legal framework for the transfer of PNR data by carriers operating passenger flights between the European Union and Canada to the Canadian competent authority and the subsequent use of that data by these authorities. The data may be used to prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute terrorist offenses or serious transnational crimes. |
