European airlines have been told they cannot hand over details of passengers flying into the United States to US authorities.

Last year EU governments came in for much criticism from privacy and civil liberties lobbyists when it was agreed to approve the data transfers.

Under the May 2004 agreement, European airlines had been obliged to give US authorities 34 items of information on passengers flying to the US, including name, address, all forms of payment and contact telephone numbers.
