The consultation aims to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the Directive, as well as its alignment with other EU legislative measures adopted in this area. Additionally, the evaluation will offer a thorough review of how Member States are implementing the PNR Directive’s provisions. The Public Consultation is scheduled for the end of 2025.
