Interior Minister Angelino Alfano
on Wednesday called for "immediate approval" of an EU-wide
directive regulating the use of airline passenger information
collected by airlines called passenger name records (PNR).
Alfano warned against the issue becoming a "European soap
opera" and said he thinks now "is the right time" for moving
forward.
Alfano also called for European countries to share their
intelligence information.
"Information should be put in the European data banks and
none of us should be possessive about our own information," he
said.
He said Italy already does so and sharing intelligence
"will make everyone stronger".
