Etienne Schneider, Luxembourg Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Internal Security and President of the Council said: "The Council recalled the urgency and importance it attaches to the European Passenger Name Record directive. The Presidency maintains its aim of finalising this dossier before the end of this year. We have to negotiate an effective and operational directive which should include internal flights and a reasonable data retention period, and which should not be limited to crimes of a transnational nature. That is the negotiating mandate which was confirmed today by the Council."
Ministers also adopted, without discussion, a set of conclusions on enhancing the criminal justice response to radicalisation leading to terrorism and violent extremism.
Félix Braz, Luxembourg Minister of Justice and President of the Council said: "Significant work has been accomplished on the ground. Work on integration, de-radicalisation, rehabilitation and reintegration is a lengthy process. Everyone who works in this area deserves our full support."
