Successful Meeting of Passenger Information Units in Brussels

Conference room

On 28 January 2025, we welcomed representatives from all Passenger Information Units (PIUs) across the EU to Brussels, joined by delegations from the US, UK, Canada, the UN, and Europol. The reason? The biannual forum of the Informal Working Group (IWG) on Passenger Name Record (PNR).

During this meeting, our colleagues from the NCCN—who work within the Belgian PIU—shared their expertise and experiences. Special attention was given to training initiatives and the exchange of PNR information. Key highlights? The strategies of France and Germany for using PNR data during the 2024 Summer Olympics and the 2024 European Football Championship.

Belgium played a key role in discussions on operational procedures, while the UN concluded the meeting with updates on global security standards. A valuable opportunity to strengthen international cooperation within the PNR network!
