European and US officials failed to reach agreement on Friday to replace an annulled deal on sharing air passenger data due to expire on September 30, a European Commission spokesman said.

"We will continue talks next week. Both parties are committed to finalize the agreement by the end of this month," said Friso Roscam Abbing of discussions aimed at avoiding possible air travel disruption when the current deal expires.

Under post-September 11 anti-terrorism arrangements, European airlines supply US authorities with information on passengers entering the United States including name, address, payment details and telephone numbers.

But an EU court struck down the existing deal on a legal technicality in May and gave the European Union and the United States until September 30 to replace it.
