The European Parliament's Committee on Citizens' Right and Freedoms has adopted a Second Report on the proposal for an EU-PNR (passenger name record) scheme which unanimously rejects the proposal (the first Report was agreed by 20 votes to 4 with 9 abstentions and referred by to the Committee by the plenary session). At their meeting on 5 April the Committee heard about the significant changes agreed by the Council on 30 March. Second Report (pdf) agreed by the Committee. The first report: Report on EU-PNR scheme (pdf).

The proposed Directive was put forward by the Spanish government last year and was radically altered by the Justice and Home Affairs Council on 30 March, see: Report and draft Directive As the much-changed draft Directive is a member state initiative, by Spain, it has to be formally adopted by 1 May or it falls under the Amsterdam Treaty provisions.
