Dutch MEP announces court case on PNR (Passenger Name Record) data. From: EDRI-gram, bi-weekly newsletter
about digital civil rights in Europe: Dutch member of the European Parliament is threatening to take the European
Commission to court for failing to protect the digital privacy of its EU citizens. EU MP Johanna Boogerd is also
vice-chairman of LIBE, the parliamentary committee on Citizens' Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs. As
she explains in an interview with Radio Netherlands, providing such access to third parties breaks EU laws and
directives designed to protect the privacy of the individual. Ms Boogerd says that although the European laws are under
review for being too harsh, privacy cannot be altogether ignored. Interview with Johanna Boogerd (24.07.2003)
