Statewatch News online: EU: Security research programme to look at creating “smart” biometric documents which will “locate,identify and follow the movement of persons” through “automatic chips with positioning”

EU: Security research programme to look at creating “smart” biometric documents which will “locate, identify and follow the movement of persons” through “automatic chips with positioning”
A Communication from the European Commission (COM 2004/72) sets out very new roles for the European Union to bring about “comprehensive security”:

1) intrusive internal security which will track the movements and purchases of every person
2) external security which will seek to complete the closure of land and sea borders to “illegal” migrants
3) intervention in “failed states” and “regional conflicts” either “on its own or in international alliances”
4) to build a “security culture” with the “security industry and the research community”
5) in a world of “global threats, markets and media, security and prosperity” to create an “international order based on effective multilaterialism” - or put another way in a world based on globalisation, media monopoly, insecurity and poverty in order to maintain the dominance of the USA and the EU
6) to create a military-industrial-research consensus on the desired direction including “federating industrial effort” (see: the “Group of Personalities” below)
7) to introduce “internationally interoperable systems, in particular between defence and other security organisations”
prepare the EU for the “management of a declared crisis” (an EU “state of emergency”)

and finally

9) the “adaptation of governance structures to effectively deal with these matters”
