Germany Wants EU Police to Share Personal Data
John Blau writes on InfoWorld:
European Union justice ministers are meeting this week in Dresden, Germany, to discuss a package of measures that could give police and other security forces in the region unprecedented access to a range of individuals' personal data.More here.
The measures, known as the Treaty of Plum after the German town where the accord was signed by several E.U. member states in 2005, would allow police and other security agencies in different countries to search each other's databases for DNA records, fingerprints, vehicle registrations and other personal information.
During its E.U. presidency, which began this month, Germany hopes to muster enough support to turn the private Treaty of Plum into E.U. law.
