EU US air passenger data talks miss deadline
The United States and the European Union failed to reach a new agreement on sharing passenger data by the Saturday deadline. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the lapse would not disrupt trans Atlantic air travel, while the EU seeks a legal basis to continue data transfers including names, addresses and credit card details within 15 minutes of departure. EU’s top court had ruled the prior deal illegal on legal basis but allowed continued data flow pending new negotiations during a Cuba conference with leaders from India and Pakistan.
