U.S., EU fail on air passenger data deal.
(From AFX Europe (Focus))
WASHINGTON (AFX) -
The United States and the European Union failed to reach a new deal on sharing air passenger data by Saturday's deadline, though officials said negotiations would continue.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the failure to agree wouldn't disrupt trans-Atlantic air travel.
Chertoff said in a telephone interview Saturday that he was sending EU representatives "an initial proposed agreement, which I think embodies what their fundamental requirements for data protection are so we can do what we need to protect our borders. If they're prepared to accept and sign, great. If we have to have additional talks, fine."
European Commission spokesman Jonathan Todd said there would be a "legal vacuum" as of midnight.
"We have to discuss on Commission level what to do next," Todd said. He said the EU executive would debate the issue Thursday.
