33 member "white list" by 2005

EU as an explicit response to 9/11 events in NY has produced two draft regulations.
The division of humans through the "white list" interstingly has a 'globalisation' pattern too.
Tony Bunyan, Statewatch editor, comments:
"These proposals are yet another result of the "war on terrorism" which show that the EU is just as keen as the USA to introduce systems of mass surveillance which have much more to do with political and social control than fighting terrorism.
To the proposed surveillance of all telecommunications is added the control of movement of all visitors and third country nationals, to be followed by that of EU citizens too. How long will it be before there will be a compulsory EU identity card? All the data will be held on the EU-wide Schengen Information System which can be accessed by tens of thousands of officials - how long will it be before biometrics collected for travel documents will be used for other purposes?
As to data protection, no new powers should be taken to collect personal data until national data protection authorities are given proper investigative powers and finance and the European Commission itself demonstrates a willingness to actually enforce the 1995 Directive"

"I’ll let you in on a secret -- the best thing about these partnerships with business is the great ideas they give us in government! By acting as a partner to the business community, rather than its adversary, we in government have learned a few other things. Like the value of speed. In the New Economy, speed to market is often the single most critical factor in determining whether companies succeed or fail. We had to develop a government as fast and responsive as the Internet. A “Friction-Free” e-government. So we did. "
It seems pigscum Ridge has vested commercial interests in Unisys (the one we all owe money to for using GIF images on the internet) among a plethora of New World Order corporations and here is Unisys's take on the fascist EU measures.

Biometry for secure identification?
The European Evolution
Following the events of September 11, (blahblahblah.......)
........
Europe’s evolution towards biometry is expected to happen swiftly. As a next step (in a few weeks’ or months’ time), a series of law proposals should give Member States the possibility of integrating biometric identifiers into visas and residence permits.
A proposal for a harmonized solution that would guarantee biometric identifier consistency in travel documents – including the EU citizen’s passport – should come later this year, probably at the end of 2003.
"
Swiftly indeed!
