Approach to the European Union (Future Relationship) Act 2020 Security Passenger and Vehicle Registration Data Passenger Name Record Data
Passenger Name Record Data (PNR) data is a unique law enforcement tool which enables law enforcement authorities to identify previously unknown individuals who may be involved in terrorism or serious crime as well as individuals at risk of exploitation.
	The Act implements the TCA, which provides for transfers of PNR data from the EU to the UK. The Agreement is based on precedents for PNR Agreements between the EU and third countries, and provides for more frequent transfers of PNR data from airlines to the UK prior to flights taking off between the EU and the UK. The Agreement also provides for specific data protection safeguards, for an implementation period during which the UK will make necessary technical adjustments to its systems to effectively operate those safeguards, and for cooperation between the UK and EU authorities that use PNR data.
