"The “harnessing of the digital tsunami” as advocated by the EU Future Group and the surveillance society, spelt out in Statewatch’s “The Shape of Things to Come” is embedded in the Commission’s Action Plan as it is in the Stockholm Programme….There is no mention of the European Security Research Programme (ESRP). Much of the technological development is being funded under the 1.4 billion euro security research programme. See: Statewatch/TNI report: Neoconopticon: EU security-industrial complex."

4. The Action Plan includes proposals to track "troublemakers":
"The right to protest: Statewatch Analysis:Protests in the EU:
“Troublemakers” and “travelling violent offenders [undefined] to be
recorded on database and targete"d by Tony Bunyan:
http://www.statewatch.org/analyses/no-93-troublemakers-apr-10.pdf
"Since the onset of the EU’s response to the “war on
terrorism” the prime targets have been Muslim and migrant communities
together with refugees and asylum-seekers. Now there is an emerging
picture across the EU that demonstrations and the democratic right to
protest are among the next to be targeted to enforce “internal
security”.
5. Statewatch Briefing: EU proposals to increase the financial
transparency of charities and non-profit organisations by Ben Hayes:
http://www.statewatch.org/analyses/no-92-briefing-eu-financial-transparency-charities.pdf
" The Financial Action Task Force
(FATF) has strongly promoted the thesis that terrorist organisations use
laundered money for their activities, and that charities are a potential
conduit for terrorist organisations."
