Elusive deal on passenger data edges closer

A long standing dispute over the use of data on airline passengers crossing the Atlantic may be in the offing, the EUobserver has learned.

According to one European diplomat a deal could emerge "in the next couple of days" over a dispute which has soured transatlantic relations since the US demanded data from European airlines as part of its 'war on terror'.

US officials told this news site that a deal in such a short period was unlikely, but said it could come by next month.
