秘密EUの保証草案は治安維持を分かち合い、米国に個人的なデータを与えるために呼出しを用いる騒動を危険にさらす
ヨーロッパは未来の保証の高レベル機密のレポートに従ってテロリズムを、戦うために「協同のヨーロッパ大西洋区域を」確立する米国と市民の知性そして情報の広大な量を共有することを考慮するべきである。
EUの27人のメンバーはまた共同ビデオ監視を開発するためにテロリズムの知性を分かち合うべきで、反テロリズムの中心の無人の無人機の航空機、開始ネットワークは、およびブリュッセルの知性調整ボディの役割そして力を後押しするために、高官を言った。
大臣が6つのEUの加盟州-ドイツ、フランス、スウェーデン、ポルトガル、スロベニアおよびチェコスロバキア共和国-からテロリズム、整頓されていた罪および法的および不法移民に取り組むことならヨーロッパを論争する正義および内部の未来のグループが起草した53ページのレポートは治安維持の多くを必要があり、統合する、および方針決定知性集まる。
保護者が見たレポートは先月仕事の18か月に続くEUの政府に堤出された。 またEC委員会からの高官を含んでいるグループはドイツによって去年確立され、次の5年にわたる保証そして正義の方針のための青写真の起草と満たされた。
スコットランド、イギリスの司法長官男爵夫人に、法制度が、大陸ヨーロッパとは違って普通法に、基づいている英本国のための含意を査定するグループとの観測者状態があった。
グループの論争の的になる提案が主要な準軍事的な介在のための武装したgendarmerieの遠征隊を海外に作成するために論争、特にヨーロッパのための呼出しを誘発するのは確実である。
レポートはワシントン州との完全なパートナーシップを開発しなかったらEUがテロリズム、一定の時間をおいて前方に押すプロセスを現在打たないことを言った。
「EU自由の分野の米国との協同のヨーロッパ大西洋区域の達成の政治目的に関して決心するべきであると保証および正義」、は言った。
最新情報の2014年までに終了するべきであるそのような協定は米国の権限へのヨーロッパの市民および旅行者の情報の広大な容積の移動を伴なう。 交渉は長く進行中そのような協定を一致するためにだったがプライバシーの法律およびデータ保護の政体の発散によって苦しめられた。
The US is already demanding that EU countries sign up for a battery of security measures on transatlantic flights and the supply of personal information on passengers if they are to enjoy visa-free travel to the US. Under one such accord struck in March between Washington and Berlin, the Germans are to make DNA and biometric information on travellers available.
The European Commission and the US homeland security department are also trying to iron out discrepancies in privacy laws to allow the wholesale exchange of data. The aim is to reach a binding international agreement this year or next.
Last month the American Civil Liberties Union wrote to MEPs pressing Brussels to reject US pressure because the US is “a country that, in privacy terms, is all but lawless … US privacy laws are weak. They offer little protection to citizens and virtually none to non-citizens.”
While urging a comprehensive transatlantic electronic pact, the Future Group focuses mainly on boosting police cooperation and integration between EU states, policies which would reinforce the powers of European agencies and institutions bearing acronyms such as Europol, Eurojust, Frontex, and Sitcen and perhaps see new agencies established to deal with security and intelligence operations.
Several member states, not least Britain, will have deep qualms about the proposals, with the British likely to balk at automatic pooling of national intelligence.
Anti-terrorist campaigns can only be effective if “maximum information flow between [EU] member states is guaranteed,” the report said. “Relevant security-related information should be available to all security authorities in the member states.” It said “networks of anti-terrorist centres” was a possible solution.
While cooperation between national police forces in the EU was advancing, the report conceded that the sharing of espionage and intelligence material was a “considerable challenge” as it clashed with the “principle of confidentiality” that is the basis for successful exchanges.
The report calls for a bigger role for “Sitcen” in coordinating intelligence sharing. Sitcen, or the Joint Situation Centre, is a shadowy intelligence body based in Brussels which started as a foreign policy tool supplying analysis on international crises to Javier Solana, the EU foreign policy chief, but which now focuses on counter-terrorism and internal security policy.
Key points
· National police forces to cooperate and integrate
· Improve European-level crisis management
· Need to harness the talents of “different actors” in fighting terrorism
· National security services and intelligence agencies need to collaborate much more closely
· New EU internet-based propaganda campaign to defeat radicalisation and terrorist recruitment
· Create “European Gendarmerie Force” for deployment and intervention abroad. Pooling of EU funds for such missions
· Common EU immigration policies. By 2014, EU leaders should make the political decision on whether to enter a “Euro-Atlantic area of freedom, security, and justice” with the Americans
