BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - A new airline passenger information sharing agreement between the EU and the United States aimed at thwarting terrorism will likely go into effect by July following concessions from both sides this week.
Envoys from the European Union's 27 nations reached a "basic political understanding" on the new deal, which was struck Wednesday by EU and U.S. negotiators, the German EU presidency said.
The diplomats said less data on passengers would be exchanged under the new agreement, but the U.S. would be able to hold the information for longer.
