Those in favour of the move say it will help authorities track terrorists and serious criminals.

The Passenger Name Record Directive will give European security services access to vital details on all travelers flying in and out of the EU. 

Europol says at least 5,000 Europeans have traveled to terror hotspots in Syria and Iraq – many of whom returned to Europe intent on causing harm.
