NO FLY list for the European Union

MANY WORK AGAINST THE FORMATION OF THE EU POLICE STATE

And that goes for you too, so, Irish friends: have a referendum! Because: "The European Commission is to put forward, tomorrow Tuesday 6 November, a proposal to collect personal data (PNR) on everyone flying in and out of the EU." Without informing 99% of the 490 million people in the 27 EU countries, a NO FLY control list is slyly shoved down their throat by the EU profiteers.

FPF - 5 Nov. 2007 - Tomorrow, Tuesday, will be one of those black days again for human beings in the European Union, when behind their back someting like a NO FLY list is put forward without 99% of the people in the EU knowing about it. In the EU nowadays, and in secret 'proposals' which are only Potemkin fakes, the EU managers have decided to control all and everything. They, and the collaborating personnel which calls themselves 'politicians' are even paid by their victims.

The people are mostly via the war mongers propaganda via the media kept uninformed, and forced to 'far out' taxes which have no relation to reality. What the worjers (the drones) heavily pay for is then given them is some kind of favor! To take just one example: the average Dutch worker pays fifty-two percent (52%) in extorted taxes. In reality this means that she or he works six months per year for their stealing personnel.

It's only power and profit. Nothing else, and at any price to the people who must endure their totalitarian idiocy. The local politicians in the EU countries who have sold themselves and assist in keeping the people 'poor and stupid' and who don't react as a human being should, they all ought to be ........ (Fill in whatever you feel like).

The 'constitution' nobody has read but they against the law want to enforce - and said they had some kind of 'accord' about in Lisbon - they don't even dare to use a referendum to find out what the victims of their greedy madness think. Last time - in 2005 - those who could said NO! And according to the latest figures an average of 70% wants a referendum concerning the EU NOW! - [http://www.indymedia.ie/article/84732]

What this malignant group - like in many other places - further is doing to the people in 27 European countries, is beyond words. They are humanoids, and do not know what humanity or decency is. They kill people by the millions and now only want to further bleed the European Union. For the European countries slyly they are making one totalitarian government in one big police state, one [cannon fodder) army, one expensive mail service, and so on. It's the salami tactic: one slice at the time, and before you know it 'they' have the whole sausage! That's pure fascism. - [http://www.no2id-handf.org.uk/dutchfpf.htm]

LIKE IN THE US: 'THEY' DECIDE WHETHER YOU CAN TRAVEL OR NOT

In reality, to collect personal data (PNR) on everyone flying in and out of the EU also means, that it is up to all the Gestapos in the different countries, collaborating as always with the secret services of the CIA/Mossad, if you can travel or not. You will need their OK to fly! And if you like all normal human beings are against fascism, you can get in trouble. From a human point of view it really is about time that all the criminals who ensnare more and more people into electronic slavery, are jailed and punished as soon as is possible.

Their main thought always is 'security' for the few humanoids who use the might of money. And Fear for the rest. The security and hegemony of this alien brood, those multi-nationality multinationals, is the only thing which is ever thought of. They never think of other people outside the world they vegetate in. Open your eyes and see what they do! They kill for profit! And you'll be killed too, if a dime can be made.

They have completely ignored any form of decency and must be punished. Whether by fragging or courts: they and their collaborators must be stopped everywhere, not only in the US, UK or EU. They are so bad that a normal human being hardly can believe it, even if the mountains of corpses, their victims, keep growing. All those who support this and/or contribute to it are war criminals. And must be treated as such.

They did to the EU 'NO FLY list' proposal the same as to the so called EU constitution; the criminals just changed some pages and presented it via compliant cowards in their propaganda media as 'new'! During the negotiations on the new EU-US PNR agreement the number of categories of data to be transferred was reduced from 34 to 19. However, the 19 items included all the data from the 34 items. These bastards crookery is clear enough, isn't it?

''We now know that the USA has 755,000 people on its terrorist watchlist. However, it also uses watchlists to apprehend anyone who has broken any US law. How many people are on EU member states' lists? Will names and details be checked against the Schengen Information System (SIS and SIS II) databases whose scope goes well beyond terrorism and organised crime?''

IT'S QUITE CLEAR: EVERYBODY ACCEPTING THIS IS A CRIMINAL

And those who dared to suggest this too, ought to be punished. Fast!

I'm against capital punishment, but lately I've been willing to make more and more exceptions.

I have never in my long life seen a more deadly and criminal bunch as this one.

They - and their cowardly collaborators - are the worst plague ever to pester humanity.

WE MUST NEUTRALIZE THEM!

PNR (passenger name record) scheme proposed to place under surveillance all travel in and out of the EU

------------------------------------------------------------------------

- All passengers to be "profiled" and the data kept for 13 years
- EU PNR plan mirrors controversial EU-US PNR scheme
- European Parliament only to be "consulted"
- Data protection fiasco
- "not convinced of the necessity of such a proposal and is therefore opposed to the proposal"

(Article 29 Data Protection Working Party)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The European Commission is to put forward, on Tuesday 6 November, a proposal to collect personal data (PNR) on everyone flying in and out of the EU. Full-text of Commission's PNR proposal (pdf).

The data to be collected is almost exactly the same as that being collected under the controversial EU-US PNR scheme. Every passenger's data is to be subject to a "risk assessment" which could lead to questioning or refusal of entry. The data is to be kept for 5 years (EU-US scheme is 7 years) and then for a further 8 years in a "dormant" database (the same as the EU-USA scheme). See: Observatory on the exchange of data on passengers (PNR) with the USA

It also begs the question of why the 2004 EC Directive on the collection of API (Advance Passenger Information), due to be put into effect by all member states by September 2006, is not sufficient and why it appears only one state, Spain, is operating it? [Footnote 1] The API data required is more limited than PNR - it is the data held in the machine readable zone of EU passports (name, nationality, passport number, date of birth plus details of the flight: place of entry into EU, plane code, departure and arrival time, number of passengers and point of embarkation).

As it has not been implemented no data is available as to why this is not sufficient for the purposes of combating terrorism and organised crime. [Footnote 2] See: Observatory: EU surveillance of passengers (PNR) See also Difference between API and PNR

One of the most controversial aspects will be the "profiling" (risk assessment) of all passengers, including visitors from the USA. The "profile" will be updated and held for 13 years. The "profiling" of all passengers raises fundamental questions of privacy, data protection and human rights.

It should be noted that this is a proposal for legislation by the Commission which the Council - in its secret working parties - can change at will (and ignore European Parliament's opinion under "consultation"). So will the scope be extended cover internal EU flights (ie: between EU countries) as well?

Tony Bunyan, Statewatch editor, comments:

"This is yet another measure that places everyone under surveillance and makes everyone a "suspect" without any meaningful right to know how the data is used, how it is further processed and by whom. Moreover, the "profiling" of all airline passengers has no place in a democracy.

We have already got the mandatory taking of fingerprints for passports and ID cards and the mandatory storage of telecommunications data of every communication, now we are to have the mandatory logging of all travel in and out of the EU.

The underlying rationale for each of the measures is the same - all are needed to tackle terrorism. Yet there is little evidence that the gathering of "mountain upon mountain" of data on the activities of every person in the EU makes a significant contribution. On the other hand, the use of this data for other purposes, now or in the future, will make the EU the most surveilled place in the world".

THE COMMISSION'S RATIONALE

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Commission proposal notes that only "UK, France and Denmark" have enacted legislation for the "capture and use of PNR" - that is, only three member states out of 27 - and because there are "divergences" of standards in these three states harmonisation is needed across the EU. Moreover, as only "a limited number of Member States have adopted legislation" (just three) the "potential benefits" of an EU-PNR scheme is "not fully realised".

The Commission further says that on the basis of the EU-USA PNR agreement it has been able to:

"assess the value of PNR data"

Have they? Even in the USA they have difficulty in providing data to justify the the collection of PNR data. In October 2006 the US Department of Homeland Security said that out of 63 million visitors they had detected:

"1,200 criminals and immigration violators"

Well, that a very small number, and "criminal", how many were suspected terrorists? And what are "immigration violators" and what has this category got to do with terrorism?

The Commission also says it has learnt from:

"the experience of the UK from its pilot projects"

This is a reference to the "Semaphore" project. The long-term objective in the UK is to profile every air passenger traveling inside the UK, to and from the EU and visiting from outside the EU - is the EU going down this road?

The Commission proposes that "decentralised system" is set up, that is, one operated at national level rather than creating an EU-wide centralised system. This lends itself to different standards of data protection, different criteria for assessing risk, different criteria for watch-lists etc.

The reason for the rejection of a centralised collection of data is interesting as this is turned down because there would be: "a high risk of failure because of the vast amounts of data" - which is interesting as the VIS (Visa Information System for those visiting the EU) database is designed to hold 100 million records.

This document COM 654 (2007) is the proposal as put to the full meeting of the Commissioners dated 22 October 2007. With a bit of cleaning up (references) and a new front page it is due to be put out on Tuesday 6 November.
