'Deal on EU-Canada passenger data can not '

luxembourg - The agreement between the European Union and Canada on the exchange of passenger data can not legally acceptable. This enables the Advocate General of the European Court of Justice Thursday in an opinion.

Several provisions of the agreement are in conflict with European fundamental rights, says Advocate General Paolo Mengozzi, who feels that can not close the so-called PNR agreement in its current form. The opinion is not binding, but in many cases followed by the judges in Luxembourg.

Mengozzi maintains that the deal is in conflict with earlier judgments of the court over privacy. Use of the data is not well defined, and is not sufficiently substantiated why Canada may store the information for five years. He presented the opinion a series of conditions to which the deal would meet Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU. Which would significantly limit the scope of data exchange.
