EU: UK OPT IN TO THE EU-PNR SCHEME: Statement (pdf).
This is hardly a surprise as the UK led the re-writing of the Commission's proposal in the Council to extend the scheme from flights in and out of the EU to flights between Member States too. In the long-term the UK government backs the extension of the EU-PNR scheme to cover all flights within Member States and to land and sea travel too - the total surveillance of all movement.
