".
The current situation, whereby the United States authorities have access to transatlantic passengers’ personal data (PNR, or ‘Passenger Name Record’) from computer booking systems (APIS, or ‘Advance Passenger Information System’), is unacceptable. This situation infringes the right to personal data protection, including the current Community directive, as in fact this resolution states:
the objective remains unclear; there is a risk that the data could be used for other purposes, including transfer to other services of the US administration;
the number of items of data required (39 elements) is incomprehensible and out of proportion;
the retention of data (6/7 years) is unjustified;
passengers have no effective means of control or extra-judicial appeal.
US threats to withdraw landing rights from airlines that do not comply with their demands are equally unacceptable. We demand that the right to personal data protection should be fully respected and that we should not give in to US demands by trying to establish derogations from the rules that exist in Europe.
The compatibility of the proposed introduction of so-called European Union passports containing chips with these same rules remains to be debated, however."@en1
