The article reports on the argument between the members of the European Parliament and European Union justice ministers, over data privacy following a temporary agreement to provide airline passenger data to U.S. authorities. Members of parliament criticized the deal signed which grants U.S. government agencies to access to passenger records. According to European Parliament member Sylvia Kaufmann, the European Union has surrendered to U.S. demands on the access to passenger to passenger records. However, the Court of Justice rules that the old agreement would become invalid.
