"The US warned of considerable security risks that should not be underestimated. It offered to take a more pro-active look at US-EU cooperation and mentioned the experience of vetting 25.000 resettled refugees to Canada against US databases. This also had a political aspect as it reassured the population that migrants were no risk."

and EU-USA Agreement data protection: "Hopefully, the Umbrella Agreement could be signed in June at the EU-US ministerial meeting and adopted in autumn. However, if an opinion by the ECJ was deemed necessary by the European Parliament, there would be a delay." [emphasis added]
