Summary/Abstract: In this study we have examined (sometimes critically) the provisions of Directive (EU) 2016/681 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the use of Passenger Name Record (PNR) data for the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution terrorist offenses and serious crimes. Representing an absolute novelty in EU legislation, the European legislative act is examined from the perspective of transposing it into the Romanian law. The innovations that are brought to this study are the examination itself and the de lege ferenda proposals which can be useful to the European legislator, but mostly to the Romanian legislator in the transposition of this legislative act into the Romanian law. The paper can be useful to academics and practitioners in the field of preventing and fighting terrorist offenses and serious crimes.
