Such an agreement will help improve information exchange in police cooperation, the Federal Council wrote in a statement. It is also intended to protect Switzerland as a place of business and to ensure internal security in the Schengen area.
Data that passengers provide when booking is used: names, contact details and travel route. The Federal Council writes that this information is an important instrument for the fight against cross-border terrorism and organized crime. About 70 countries have already introduced such a system, including all EU member states.
Because this is not a further development of the Schengen acquis, an agreement and therefore a negotiating mandate is necessary. The next step will be to consult the foreign policy committees of the Federal Councils and the Conference of Cantonal Governments.
