The processing and transfer of passenger name record (PNR) data by air carriers to the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service

This agreement establishes a framework for air carriers to transfer passenger name record (PNR) data from the EU to Australian customs and border protection authorities. The goal is to enhance security and fight terrorism and serious crime by allowing authorities to analyze travel data to identify high-risk passengers.

The agreement affects air travelers and airlines. It sets specific rules on how data is processed and stored to ensure that the privacy and personal data of EU citizens are protected during the transfer.
