Europa deve considerar compartilhar de quantidades vastas de inteligência e de informação em seus cidadãos com os E.U. estabelecer “uma área Euro-Atlantic de cooperação” para combater o terrorismo, de acordo com um relatório confidential high-level na segurança futura.

Os 27 membros do EU devem também pool a inteligência no terrorismo, desenvolver o vídeo-surveillance comum e avião 2não pilotado do zangão, redes do começo de centros do anti-terrorismo, e impulsionar o papel e os poders de um corpo decoordenação em Bruxelas, oficiais sênior ditos.

O relatório de 53 páginas esboçado pelo grupo futuro do interior e pela justiça que os ministros de seis estados de membro do EU - Germany, France, Sweden, Portugal, Slovenia, e a república Czech - discutem Europa necessitará integrar muita de seu policiar, inteligência-recolhendo, e policy-making se for tackle o terrorismo, o crime organizado, e o immigration legal e ilegal.

O relatório, visto pelo Guardian, foi submetido aos governos do EU último mês que segue 18 meses do trabalho. O grupo, que inclui também oficiais sênior do Commission europeu, foi estabelecido por Germany o ano passado e carregado com esboçar um blueprint para a segurança e a política da justiça sobre os cinco anos seguintes.

O Baroness Scotland, Attorney General BRITÂNICO, teve o status do observador com o grupo para avaliar as implicações para Grâ Bretanha, cujo o sistema legal, ao contrário de Europa continental, é baseado na lei comum.

É certo que as propostas controversas do grupo provocarão as disputas principais, não menos suas chamadas para que Europa críe um corpo expeditionary de gendarmerie armado para a intervenção paramilitary no ultramar.

O relatório disse que o EU não bateu o terrorismo a menos que desenvolvesse uma parceria cheia com Washington, um processo que empurra atualmente adiante os ajustes e os começos.

“The EU should make up its mind with regard to the political objective of achieving a Euro-Atlantic area of cooperation with the United States in the field of freedom, security and justice,” it said.

Tal pact, que deve ser finalizado por 2014 mais atrasado, envolveria transferência de volumes vastos da informação em cidadãos e em travellers europeus às autoridades dos E.U. As negociações têm estado por muito tempo sob a maneira concordar tal pact, mas bedevilled por divergences em regimes da proteção da lei e dos dados da privacidade.

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
