BIJLAGE

ONTWERP

The Presidency of the Council of the European Union and the European Commission present their compliments to …. and have the honour to state the following.

As you are undoubtedly aware, the Court of Justice of the European Communities in its Judgment of 30 May 2006 in cases C- 317 and C-318/04 has annulled the Council Decision of 17 May 2004 approving the Agreement between the European Community and the United States of America on the treatment and the transfer of PNR data ( complete title ), as well as the Commission Decision of 14 May 2004 (the so-called Adequacy Decision) which was closely linked to that agreement. As you will also be aware, the Court expressed itself explicitly on the continued validity under international law of the agreement, effectively prescribing to the defending institutions in these court cases that they should avail themselves of the provisions of Article 7 of the Agreement.

In the light of this judgment and the provision of the EC Treaty that enjoins the institutions whose act has been annulled to take all the necessary measures for the execution of the Court’s judgment, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission hereby, pursuant to Article 7 denounce the Agreement (full title) with September 30, 2006, as effective date.
