U.S., EU Carry Out Passenger Name
Record (PNR) Review -
Representatives from the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) and the European Union (EU) held a
joint review of the
2007 U.S.-EU Passenger Name Record (PNR) agreement on
February 8-9, 2010, in Washington, D.C., says a joint statement
issued on February 10. The U.S.-EU PNR agreement sets forth
commitments for the processing and transfer of PNR for flights
between EU Member States and the United States. During the
course of the comprehensive, two-day review, an EU expert
delegation led by the European Commission observed first hand
how PNR contributes to DHS’s layered approach to border
management and aviation security and how DHS handles PNR data.
The EU expert delegation will issue a report reflecting its
analysis resulting from the two days of site visits and
discussions.
