Amendments (66)

Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 6
(6) PNR data help the authorities responsible for prevention, detection and law enforcement authorities prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute serious crimes, including and acts of terrorism, by comparing them with various databases of persons and objects sought, to construct evidence and, where relevant, to find associates of criminals and unravel criminal networks.

Amendment 94 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 7
(7) PNR data enable law enforcement authorities and the authorities responsible for prevention and detection to identify persons who were previously "unknown", i.e. persons previously unsuspected of involvement in serious crime and terrorism, but whom an analysis of the data suggests may be involved in such crime and who should therefore be subject to further examination by the competent authorities. By using PNR data law enforcement authorities and the authorities responsible for prevention and detection can address the threat of sterious crimerorism and tserrorismious forms of crime from a different perspective than through the processing of other categories of personal data. However, in order to ensure that the processing of data of innocent and unsuspected persons remains as limited as possible, the aspects of the use of PNR data relating to the creation and application of assessment criteria should be further limited to sterious crimes that are also transnational in nature, i.e. are intrinsically linked to travelling and hence the type of the data being processedrorist offences and relevant forms of serious crime.

Amendment 106 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
(10) To prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute terrorist offences and serious crime, it is therefore essential that all Member States introduce provisions laying down obligations on air carriers operating international flights to or from the territory of the Member States of the European Union, intra-EU flights from one Member State to another Member State and domestic flights with a final destination in the same Member State and non-carrier economic operators when involved in booking such flights.

Committee: LIBE
Amendment 113 #
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 and non-carrier economic operators 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 and non-carrier economic operators.

Committee: LIBE
Amendment 115 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) Non-carrier economic operators, such as travel agencies and tour operators, sell package tours making use of charter flights for which they collect and process PNR data from their customers, yet without necessarily transferring the data to the airline operating the passenger flight.

Amendment 120 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 12
(12) The definition of terrorist offences should be taken from Articles 1 to 4 ofapplied in this Directive should be the same as in 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 as amended by Council decision 2008/919/JHA. The term serious crime applied in this dDirective 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 Crimeencompasses the crimes listed in Article 2.1. __________________ 38 OJ L 190, 18.7.2002, p. 1.

Amendment 127 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
(13) PNR data should be transferred to a single designated unit (Passenger Information Unit) in the relevant Member State, so as to ensure clarity and reduce costs to air carriers and non-carrier economic operators.

Committee: LIBE
Amendment 134 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
(14) The contents of any lists of required PNR data to be obtained by the Passenger Information Unit should be drawn up with the objective of reflecting the legitimate requirements of public authorities to prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute terrorist offences or serious crime, thereby improving internal security within the Union as well as protecting the fundamental rights of citizens, notably privacy and the protection of personal data. Such lisdata sets should not contain any personal data that could reveal racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or data concerning health or sexual life of the individual concerned. The PNR data should contain details on the passenger’s reservation and travel itinerary which enable competent authorities to identify air passengers representing a threat to internal security.

Committee: LIBE
Amendment 139 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15
(15) There are two possible methods of data transfer currently available: the ‘pull’ method, under which the competent authorities of the Member State requiring the data can reach into (access) the air carrier’s reservation system and extract (’pull’) a copy of the required data, and the ‘push’ method, under which air carriers and non-carrier economic operators transfer (’push’) the required PNR data to the authority requesting them, thus allowing air carriers to retain control of what data is provided. The ‘push’ method is considered to offer a higher degree of data protection and should be mandatory for all air carriers and non-carrier economic operators.

Amendment 143 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
(17) The Member States should take all necessary measures to enable air carriers and non-carrier economic 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 non-carrier economic operators failing to meet their obligations regarding the transfer of PNR data. Where there are repeated serious infringements which might undermine the basic objectives of this Directive, these penalties may include, in exceptional cases, measures such as the immobilisation, seizure and confiscation of the means of transport, or the temporary suspension or withdrawal of the operating licence.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 20
(20) Member States should share with other Member States and Europol the PNR data that they receive where such transferthis is necessary for the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of terrorist offences or serious crime or the prevention of immediate and serious threats to public security through. The provisions of this Directive should be without prejudice to other Union instruments on the exchange of information between police and judicial authorities, including Council Decision 2009/371/JHA of 6 April 2009 establishing the European Police Office (Europol)39 and Council Framework Decision 2006/960/JHA of 18 September 2006 on simplifying the exchange of information and intelligence between law enforcement authorities of the Member States of the European Union40 . Such exchange of PNR data between law enforcement and judicial authorities should be governed by the rules on police and judicial cooperation. __________________ 40 OJ L 386, 29.12.2006, p. 89.

Amendment 173 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 21 a (new)
(21a) PNR data should be processed to the greatest extent possible in a masked out way in order to ensure a highest level of data protection by making it impossible for those having access to masked out data to identify a person and to draw conclusions as to what persons are related to that data. Re-identifying masked out data is possible only under conditions ensuring a high level of data protection.

Amendment 203 #
Proposal for a directive
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. The issue of the collection of PNR data on internal flights should be the subject of specific reflection at a future date.

Amendment 207 #
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 non- carrier economic 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 222 #
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 57 years, after which the data must be permanently deleted, the data must be anonymised after a very short periodmasked out after 6 months, 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 toit must be ensured that an independent national supervisory authority isand in particular its Data Protection Officer are 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.
