Council of the EU: Proposal for a Council Framework Decision on the use of Passenger Name Record (PNR) for law enforcement purposes (17 April 2009, EU doc no: 5618/1/09, pdf):
"At its meeting of 27 November 2008, the Council instructed the preparatory bodies of the Council “to examine all the outstanding issues, whether legal or operational, in the light of the report and all the work already carried out with a view to possible decisions at a later date”. This Presidency has sought to follow this instruction by endeavouring to incorporate the main findings at which the MDG arrived during the French Presidency into the text of the draft Framework decision, as it stood at the end of the Slovenian Presidency. The attached text therefore introduces a significant number of changes which, in the Presidency’s view, fairly translate these MDG findings; while bearing in mind that not all these results were supported by all delegations. The Presidency has also, again based on the excellent work carried out during the French Presidency, incorporated some proposals that were made with regard to items on which clearly no consensus has been reached yet, like the retention period and the use of sensitive data."
