So far as we have heard, Belgium is the first country in Europe to consider expanding PNR-based air travel surveillance and control to rail travel. A year ago, the Belgian government proposed such a rail travel surveillance and control scheme to a European ministerial summit on rail travel “security”. Later in 2015, when the Belgian Parliament approved a PNR-based scheme for monitoring and control of air travel, the government said it intended to expand it to all modes of transport as soon as working agreements could be reached with railroad, bus, and ferry companies.
