Parliamentary questions
ORAL QUESTION H-0647/05
http://tinyurl.com/aplt7

by Athanasios Pafilis ( http://www.kke.gr/info_en.html ) to the Council
Subject: Illegal files on demonstrators kept on the Schengen information system

In its annual report, the Joint Supervisory Authority (JSA) reveals that the Schengen information system contains files illegally opened on demonstrators at international protest rallies, observing that this is a dangerous departure, made even more so by the fact that organisations with repressive powers such as EUROPOL have access to this information, which is, in addition, being forwarded to and supplemented by the American authorities. At the recent meeting of the Council of Ministers for Justice convened in response to the London bombings, the JSA’s findings were totally disregarded and it was decided as a matter of routine to keep files on all those concerned resident in the EU and to monitor their communications.

Whom is the EU actually targeting? Why are files being kept on all participants at mass protests as if they were common criminals? Does the Council not consider this to be a direct infringement of some of the very individual freedoms and democratic rights embodied in the Member States’ Constitutions?
