The national governments of the EU member states are considering
extending mandatory record-keeping of air passenger data to high-speed
rail travel and sea traffic.
A majority of states have said in diplomatic discussions that they were in favour of applying the rules from the EU's passenger name record (PNR) directive, currently only applicable to air travel, to other modes of transportation.
The PNR directive, adopted in 2016 to fight terrorism, requires air carriers to transfer personal data about their customers to the authorities.
In February, Romania (then holding the rotating six-month presidency of the Council of the EU) sent member states a confidential document with the results of a questionnaire about the future of the PNR directive.
The paper, published on the Statewatch website, said that "the majority of the member states agreed on broadening the scope of the PNR directive".
