Det fremgår af informationerne, at passageroplysningerne for denne flyvning ikke var blevet fremsendt i henhold til aftalen om passageroplysninger (PNR-aftalen), som Kommissionen kunne have grebet ind på baggrund af, men i henhold til en bilateral aftale mellem Mexico og USA, nemlig den såkaldte APIS-aftale.
It says that the passenger data for that flight had not been forwarded on a Passenger Name Record (PNR) basis – on which basis the Commission would have been able to intervene – but on the basis of a bilateral agreement between Mexico and the United States known as the APIS agreement.
