Biometrics Deal: EU Council Paves Way for US Data Exchange

1 day 14 hours ago

"The aim of this long-controversial Enhanced Border Security Partnership (EBSP) is to grant US authorities direct and far-reaching access to biometric data stored in the police databases of EU member states.

In return, the EU is now seeking comparable access to US datasets. A document drafted by the Danish Council Presidency, published by the British civil liberties organization Statewatch, outlines the corresponding strategic roadmap for this transatlantic data deal."

1 day 14 hours ago

"Behind the technical language of “partnerships” and “migration management” lies a harsher reality: sudden removals, separated families, and weakened legal protections for deportees.

In this edition of The Insight Vodcast, we speak with Frey Lindsay of Statewatch to explain what the EU wants from Nigeria, how this deportation system operates, and why it matters far beyond Europe’s borders."

Battered by EU’s border bandits

1 day 14 hours ago

"Frey Lindsay, an investigative journalist with Statewatch told our correspondent that over the last decade, and “increasingly in recent years, the EU has funneled hundreds of millions of euros at least (by some counts over a billion euros) to countries in North Africa, including Libya, Tunisia and Morocco, under so-called ‘migration partnerships’. In most cases, these projects can best be seen as the EU paying authorities in those countries to act as its external border guards, emboldened to forcibly and often violently intercept and detain people attempting to seek shelter in Europe. The European Commission has largely turned a blind eye to the extreme violence, forced labour, kidnapping, detention, sexual violence, murder and other atrocities committed against African migrants that these funds are complicit in."
