EU: Watch-List fuer Aufmuckende

Nix mehr Protestieren&Kabarettisieren für Volx- und andere

Als Erweiterung zum Schengen Informationssystem wird die Einrichtung
einer EU-weiten Datenbank fuer politische "Problemkinder" und Auslaender,
deren Aufenthaltsgenehmigungen abelaufen sind in Betracht gezogen.
Derart mit "alerts" Gebrandmarkten soll bei Bedarf die Einreise in
Mitgliedsstaaten der EU im Interesse der nationalen Sicherheit verwehrt
werden.

Das p.t. Auditorium lausche und erkenne wieder: Wie vielfach geübt,
wird wieder mal das Doubletten-Spiel gegeben, auch bekannt als
"Ildefonso-Strategie":

Mit derselben Technik, mit der kritikfreie, proaktive Prävention
unterstützt wird, kann zugleich auch lästigen Kritikern der
Bewegungsspielraum beschnitten werden. Man braucht sie nur unter
die Böslinge zu mischen - Wie es bereits bei Ildefonso ein Verkaufs-
erfolg war: Lichter Nougat und dunkler Nougat, säuberlich
verpackt in einen gemeinsamen Würfel, auf dass jeder Gusto etwas
davon habe.

EU plans to extend the Schengen Information System (SIS) to:

i) create EU database to target "suspected" protestors and bar them
from entering a country where a protest is planned
ii) create EU database of all "foreigners" to remove third country
nationals who have not left within the "prescribed time frame"
(full report as [1]pdf file)

The Council of the European Union (the 15 EU governments) are
discussing plans to create two new dedicated databases on the
Schengen Information System (SIS). The first database would cover
public order and protests and lead to:

"Barring potentially dangerous persons from participating in
certain events [where the person is] notoriously known by the
police forces for having committed recognised facts of public order
disturbance"

"Targeted" suspects would be tagged with an "alert" on the SIS and
barred from entry the country where the protest or event was taking
place.

The second database would be a register of all third country
nationals in the EU who will be tagged with an "alert" if they
overstay their visa or residence permit - this follows a call by
the German government for the creation of a "centralised register".

Both of these new databases are being put forward under the post 11
September "Anti-terrorism roadmap" (item 45 on the version of
15.11.01, to "Improve input of alerts into the SIS").

In its report following the protests in Gothenburg and Genoa on 13
July the Justice and Home Affairs Council agreed to the creation of
national databases of "trouble-makers" but put off the decision to
create a centralised EU-wide database, see: [2]Statewatch report:
EU plans the surveillance of protestors

This initiative comes in the context of the debate over the
definition of terrorism to be agreed by the Justice and Home
Affairs Council on 6-7 December. The [3]draft on the table would
embrace protests and protestors in the definition of terrorism.

Tony Bunyan, editor of Statewatch, commented:

"After the protests in Gothenburg the EU governments adopted
far-reaching plans to put protestors under surveillance. After 11
September the European Commission proposed a definition of
terrorism which also extended to protests.

Now under the EU's "Anti-terrorist roadmap" we have the frightening
prospect that details of suspected protestors and dissenters will
be held by the Schengen Information System on one centralised,
computerised EU-wide database and all "foreigners" in the EU held
on another - and both are to be the subject of "targeted" action
and/or surveillance. Protestors and "foreigners" are to be targeted
as representing primary "threats" to the internal security of the
EU."

registers and the European Commission's Communication on illegal
immigration: [4]Full report - the "enemy with" II (pdf file)

[...]

The targeting of "known individuals" will be based on information
gathered at national level (by police and security agencies) and
passed on to the SIS in Strasbourg. The database of suspected
"troublemakers" held on the SIS will then be accessed by police and
internal security agencies when there is an assumed "threat" for a
particular event in that country. This would deny people the right
of free movement in the EU and the right to protest. However, the
placing of an "alert" on the SIS that a "targeted" person is a
suspected "troublemaker" could be accessed - during a specific
event - and used to stop them travelling for other purposes such as
visiting friends or to go on holiday - it would constitute a quasi
criminal record. Moreover, the construction at national level of a
register of "known individuals" means that quite ordinary and
everyday political activity of groups and organisations will have
to be placed under regular surveillance.

German government calls for EU-wide "foreigners" database

In the immediate aftermath to the 11 September attacks in the USA
the German government put forward far-reaching proposals to the
meeting of the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council on 27-28
September. These included a proposal that at the national level
"each Member State should maintain centralised population registers
and centralised registers storing data on third-country nationals
present in the territory of the Union" and that there should be
established:

"a European central register of third-country nationals present
within the territory of the Union"

Only two EU states have registers of "foreigners" (third-country
nationals): Germany and Luxembourg (see: [6]The enemy within II for
full analysis)

It might have been expected that such a far-reaching, and
potentially dangerous, idea would have been noted and dismissed as
extreme but is was not, it re-appeared on the measures to be taken
post-11 September under the Council's "Anti-terrorism roadmap".
