Not a single EU Member State has implemented the EU PNR so far

14. October 2016

The European Passenger Name Records Directive (EU PNR) was passed earlier this year.

Although the European Commission spent tens of millions Euros on 15 national PNR schemes, not a single member state has implemented the respective Directive. There were national PNR schemes in order to help lay the groundwork for an EU-wide level proposal.

A commission spokesman commented that member states have until May 2018 to integrate the directive into their national laws.

However, Dimitris Avramopoulos, the European Commissioner for migration said that “The commission will be putting pressure on member states to implement it as soon as possible: we cannot wait for two years”.
