The European Commission is proposing that all children over 6 are fingerprinted for EU passports (and nationally-issued ID cards) - the only reason that those less than six years old are not to be fingerprinted is a technical one: "the fingerprints of children under the age of 6 seemed not to be of sufficient quality for one-to-one verification of identity". The term "and travel documents" mainly refers to the use of nationally issued ID cards which are used to travel in the EU Schengen area - i …

It must be asked why the welcome proposals on "practical action to stem the use of explosives" have taken so long to be put forward The Commission should focus on practical steps to improve cooperation between the Member States instead of trying to impose sweeping restrictions on freedom of expression. As part of its latest package of counter-terrorism measures the European Commission has tabled amendments to the 2002 EU Framework Decision on combating terrorism. The proposed amendments [Proposa …

Today social movements are confronted by a new phase in the capitalist neoliberal system's offensive. This period is characterised above all by a state of permanent global war. For most of the human race this war means recolonisation. Using the ˜war on terror' as a cover, this war aims at controlling natural resources by pillaging peoples the world over. American projects in the ˜Greater Middle East' and South America are the most visible signs of this. Nevertheless, they cannot cover up the ˜fo …

At home the reforms look as if they are unravelling as fast as the government is trying to push them through, indeed there has been so much back-tracking that David Martinon, one of the president s spokesmen, yesterday felt it necessary to redefine what reform means: apparently reforms are not something unpleasant that have to be swallowed …

By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 25/10/07): Students of the European Union have become accustomed to rating competing member states in a sort of political Champions League table. National standings vary as leaders come and go. The perennial question is: who's up, who's down It's a game the likes of Jacques Chirac loved to play. But in the lull after the storm over the EU's reform treaty, Europe's current Big Three - Britain's Gordon Brown, Germany's Angela Merkel and France's Nicolas Sarkozy - fi …

The criteria by which literature is measured and recognized by the Norwegian Nobel Committee remain unfathomable to an outside but critical observer. This year the Prize for literature went to Doris Lessing, a British author who wrote stories with ever-in-vogue feminist themes. But the individuals who screen nominees and award the Prizes for literature could just as w …
