The retention of PNR (Passenger Name Record) data has nothing to do with the identification of suspects at border checkpoints. On the contrary, what will happen is that the data belonging to all passengers will be stored willy-nilly, where no grounds for suspicion exist, in order subsequently to identify ‘risky travellers’. It is particularly problematic that this huge infringement of fundamental rights is to be carried out in the name of combating terrorism, even though there is no evidence proving that PNR data is of any benefit in the fight against terrorists. Thus, we should not regard it as progress that the ‘push procedure’ is to be used to forward data to Australia, after all this is the only regulation that is even half-way compatible with EU data protection law. In view of economic pressures, serious doubts must exist regarding whether the airlines really have any interest in practice in passing on passenger data to the authorities at the flight destination on an automatic and selective basis. Thus, data protection will remain illusory, even in relation to the agreement with Australia. I cannot vote in favour of the practice of passing on data when no grounds for suspicion exist."@en1
