Passenger Name Record (PNR)

This procedure concerns the European Union's external strategy for using Passenger Name Record (PNR) data. PNR data is collected by airlines and contains information about passengers' travel bookings. The strategy aims to leverage this data for security purposes, such as combating terrorism and serious crime, while addressing privacy concerns.

The strategy affects air carriers, passengers, and law enforcement agencies. It outlines how the EU will engage with third countries on PNR data sharing and processing, balancing security needs with fundamental rights and data protection standards.
