Division 42

These Commitments will apply for a term of three years and six months (3.5 years), beginning on the date upon which an agreement enters into force between Canada and the European Community, authorizing the processing of API and PNR data by carriers for purposes of transferring such data to the CBSA, in accordance with the Directive. After these Commitments have been in effect for two years and six months (2.5 years), the CBSA will initiate discussions with the Commission with the goal of extending the Commitments and any supporting arrangements, upon mutually acceptable terms. If no mutually acceptable arrangements can be concluded prior to the expiration date of these Commitments, the Commitments will no longer apply to any data collected from that moment onwards. Data collected while these Commitments were in force will remain protected by the terms of these Commitments until any such data is deleted.
