MEPs back plans to give air passenger data to US (BBC News, link):

"The European Parliament has adopted a controversial bill that will give the United States access to personal information about airline passengers. MEPs agreed by 409 votes to 226 to let the US Department of Homeland Security see data on the Passenger Name Record (PNR)"

The two major parties' blocs - PPE (conservative group) and S&D (socialist group) were committed to voting in favour.
