Amendment 114 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 11
(11) Air carriers already collect and process PNR data from their passengers for their own commercial purposes. This Directive should not impose any obligation on air carriers to collect or retain any additional data from passengers or to impose any obligation on passengers to provide any data in addition to that already being provided to air carriers. For charter, private and freighted flights, PNR data should also be collected and transferred to the Passenger Information Unit of the relevant Member State.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
(12) The definition of terrorist offences should be taken from Articles 1 to 4 of Council Framework Decision 2002/475/JHA on combating terrorism37. The definition of serous crime should be taken from Article 2 of Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA of 13 June 2002 on the European Arrest Warrant and the surrender procedure between Member States38. However, Member States may exclude those minor offences for which, taking into account their respective criminal justice system, the processing of PNR data pursuant to this directive would not be in line with the principle of proportionality. The definition of serious transnational crime should be taken from Article 2 of Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA and the United Nations Convention on Transnational Organised Crime. __________________ 38 OJ L 190, 18.7.2002, p. 1. 37 OJ L 164, 22.6.2002, p. 3.

Amendment 141 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
(16) The Commission supports the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) guidelines on PNR. These guidelines should thus be the basis for adopting the supported data formats for transfers of PNR data by air carriers and other commercial operators or non- commercial flight operators to Member States. This justifies that such supported data formats, as well as the relevant protocols applicable to the transfer of data from air carriers and other commercial operators or non-commercial flight operators should be adopted in accordance with the advisory procedure foreseen in Regulation (EU) No….. of the European Parliament and the Council [……………..]

Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
(17) The Member States should take all necessary measures to enable air carriers and other commercial operators or non- commercial flight operators to fulfil their obligations under this Directive. Dissuasive, effective and proportionate penalties, including financial ones, should be provided for by Member States against those air carriers and other commercial operators or non-commercial flight operators failing to meet their obligations regarding the transfer of PNR data.

Recital 28
(28) This Directive does not affect the possibility for Member States to provide, under their domestic law, for a system of collection and handling of PNR data for purposes other than those specified in this Directive, or from transportation providers other than those specified in the Directive, regarding internal flights subject to compliance with relevant data protection provisions, provided that such domestic law respects the Union acquis.

Amendment 209 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 29
(29) As a result of the legal and technical differences between national provisions concerning the processing of personal data, including PNR, air carriers and other commercial operators or non-commercial flight operators are and will be faced with different requirements regarding the types of information to be transmitted, as well as the conditions under which this information needs to be provided to competent national authorities. These differences may be prejudicial to effective cooperation between the competent national authorities for the purposes of preventing, detecting, investigating and prosecuting terrorist offences or serious crime.

Amendment 213 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 31
(31) This Directive respects the fundamental rights and the principles of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, in particular the right to the protection of personal data, the right to privacy and the right to non-discrimination as protected by Articles 8, 7 and 21 of the Charter and has to be implemented accordingly. The Directive is compatible with data protection principles and its provisions are in line with the Framework Decision 2008/977/JHA. Furthermore, and in order to comply with the proportionality principle, the Directive, on specific issues, will have stricter rules on data protection than the Framework Decision 2008/977/JHA.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 32
(32) In particular, the scope of the Directive is as limited as possible, it allows retention of PNR data for period of time not exceeding 5 years, after which the data must be deleted, the data must be anonymised (masked out) after a very short period, the collection and use of sensitive data is prohibited. In order to ensure efficiency and a high level of data protection, Member States are required to ensure that an independent national supervisory authority is responsible for advising and monitoring how PNR data are processed. All processing of PNR data must be logged or documented for the purpose of verification of the lawfulness of the data processing, self-monitoring and ensuring proper data integrity and security of the data processing. Member States must also ensure that passengers are clearly and precisely informed about the collection of PNR data and their rights.

Proposal for a directive
Article 4 a (new)
Article 4a Conditions for access to PNR data by competent authorities 1. The competent authorities referred to in Article 5 may submit, on a case-by-case basis, an electronic and duly reasoned request to the Passenger Information Unit for the transmission of specific PNR data or the results of the processing of specific PNR data, when this is strictly necessary for the purpose of prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of a specific terrorist offence or a certain type of serious transnational crime. The request for such data may be based on any one or a combination of the PNR data elements set out in the Annex. The reasoned request shall set out reasonable grounds to consider that the transmission of PNR data or the results of the processing of PNR data will substantially contribute to the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of the criminal offence in question. 2. Prior to the transmission of PNR data or of the results of the processing of PNR data from the Passenger Information Unit to a competent authority in reply to a request made in accordance with paragraph 1, a court or an independent administrative body shall verify, in a timely manner, whether all the conditions set out in paragraph 1 are fulfilled. 3. In an exceptional case of urgency where there is need to prevent an immediate and serious threat to public security associated with a terrorist offence or a type of serious transnational crime, the Passenger Information Unit may transmit the PNR data or the results of the processing of PNR data immediately upon receipt of a request by a competent authority. In such an exceptional case of urgency, a court or an independent administrative body may only verify ex- post whether all the conditions set out in paragraph 1 are fulfilled, including whether an exceptional case of urgency actually existed. The ex-post verification shall take place without undue delay after the processing of the request. 4. Where an ex-post verification in accordance with paragraph 3 determines that the transfer of PNR data or the results of the processing of PNR data was not justified, all the authorities that have received such data shall erase the information communicated by the Passenger Information System. 5. Paragraphs 1 to 4 shall also apply when a competent authority referred to in Article 5 submits an electronic and duly reasoned request to the Passenger Information Unit of its Member State in order to request the transmission of PNR data or the results of the processing of PNR data from a Passenger Information Unit of another Member State in accordance with Article 7, or from a third country in accordance with Article 8. 6. The decision for transfers pursuant to paragraphs 3 and 5 shall be made by the head of Passenger Information Unit to which the request was made.
