Justice minister
Ferdinand Grapperhaus has submitted a draft law to parliament which will
require airlines to hand over all their information about passengers to the
military police.
The information will go to a new police unit for analysis with
the aim of tracking down terrorists and major criminals, the minister said. The
new law stems from the European Passenger Name Record directive, which is now
being incorporated into Dutch law.
Grapperhaus expects the legislation to
complete its passage through parliament before the summer.
Information about
passengers – including details about baggage, payments and addresses – will be
kept for five years. It can also be shared with other countries, Europol and
the regular Dutch police force.
