The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EU University of Maastricht Studium Generale 2007 by Douwe Korff 12 A further trend: “Bringing protection forward” not really new: cf. See Sebastian Cobler, Die Gefahr geht von den Menschen aus: der vorverlegte Staatsschutz, 2nd Ed., Berlin, 1978 (the 1st edition was published in 1976).

The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EU University of Maastricht Studium Generale 2007 by Douwe Korff 13 These are general trends, also notable in other European countries (and encouraged by the EU, but I’ll come to that in a minute)

The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EU University of Maastricht Studium Generale 2007 by Douwe Korff 12 Drivers: e-services, e-learning, e-government, e-everything – and e-identity (ID Cards, e-IDM) “Joined-up government” / “Full societal alliance” Terrorism: massive funding (EC security research; US DARPA)

The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EU University of Maastricht Studium Generale 2007 by Douwe Korff 15 “Targetting” by computer, using “profiles” - results inevitably in: “false positives”: people wrongly identified as abusers/criminals/terrorists “false negatives”: the real culprits being missed STUDY THE “BASE-RATE FALLACY”!

The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EU University of Maastricht Studium Generale 2007 by Douwe Korff 28. ASSESSMENT (1): The current EU rules relating to anti- terrorist measures seriously fail to meet ECHR and EU dp-standards: The EU citizen is stripped before the eyes of the Third Pillar authorities

The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EU University of Maastricht Studium Generale 2007 by Douwe Korff 29. ASSESSMENT (2): The European Surveillance Society is not a democratic one: the Council’s Third-Pillar measures threaten the most fundamental values supposedly underpinning the European political settlement, at both national and international level. In its actions against terrorism, the EU is doing the European ideal a serious disservice by undermining democracy and the rule of law.

The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EU University of Maastricht Studium Generale 2007 by Douwe Korff 30. ASSESSMENT (3): At a more practical level, these issues will create serious problems for European and wider international cooperation in the fight against terrorism, including constitutional-legal challenges to such (intra-EU- and EU-US) arrangements in countries in which data protection is given a high level of protection under the national Constitution (such as Germany). They will therefore ultimately undermine, rather than help, in the fight against terrorism and organised crime.
