Following the attack on Charlie
Hebdo in Paris at the beginning
of January and the events which
followed, the European Union has
been forced to review its internal and
external security policies. EU member
internal affairs ministers convened
in Paris following the attacks stating
that a more effective mechanism
for EU Passenger Name Records
(PNR) needs to be implemented
with the information gathered
being consolidated and shared. EU
Council Chairman Donald Tusk and
Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
Executive Representative Federica
Mogherini urged the European
Parliament to move forwards with
the implementation of EU’s own PNR
system.
PNR is a tool which has been in use
by many countries for years as a part
of the fight against crime and terror.
Maany members in the EU has their
own PNR system, however, due to
legislative gaps, PNR data is unable to
be shared amongst the Union. Another
problematic area in regards to is the
matter of intra-European flights.
Only limited information in regards
to passengers traveling inside Europe
is accessible, gathered by companies
and have significant obstacles to being
disseminated among member states.

ahead, Çiçek said, “Saying ‘this isn’t
what I planned’ and being left out
of spontaneous developments may
mean turning down opportunities
which you can never again
reacquire.”
