Skyder gråspurve med vandkanoner

Massiv kritik af Prüm: Datatilsynet får svært ved at kontrollere brugen af de følsomme registre.
Institut for menneskerettigheder advarer mod at begrænse tanke- og rejsefrihed.

Prüm-traktaten er ikke oversat til dansk endnu. Alligevel fik de uafhængige jura-eksperter i Advokatsamfundet, Institut for Menneskerettigheder og Datatilsynet blot tolv dage til at give deres kommentarer til justitsministeren!

Men længere tid tog det heller ikke for de uafhængige juridiske eksperter at slå bremserne i overfor Prüm-traktaten.

Alligevel fik justitsministeren i sidste uge grønt lys i Retsudvalget og Europaudvalget til at ministeren kan give Danmarks stemme for at gøre Prüm-traktaten til EU-lov og dermed til dansk lov.

Flere i registre

Politiets nye muligheder begrundes med at det skal være nemmere at jagte terrorister og bekæmpe grænseoverskridende kriminalitet.

Men også almindelige borgere, der ønsker at protestere mod EU, skal kigges i kortene. Personer, der vil 'forstyrre den offentlige ro og orden' , skal sortlistes i nationale arkiver, politiet i andre EU-lande skal have adgang til. 'Der tænkes her navnlig på store sportsbegivenheder og europæiske topmøder', skriver justitsministeriet i et notat om Prüm-traktaten.

Statewatch.org har pt. følgende i pdf-format om Prüm aftalen: 

EU-PRUM TREATY:
We previously reported that there were two draft Council Decisions to transpose parts of the Prum Treaty into EU law. One of these (Schengen-related) has now been dropped, that on "improving cooperation on request": Draft Council Decision on improving cooperation on request (as it is now said to be already covered by the adopted Framework Decision, 960/2006/JHA of 18.12.06).

The second, a draft Council Decision on cross-border cooperation, has now been formally proposed: Draft Council Decision on cross-border cooperation(pdf) (previous draft: Council Decision on the stepping up of cross-border cooperation, particularly in combating terrorism and cross-border crime) This second Decision is a "third pillar" measure coming under the Treaty on the European Union (TEU). A Council Presidency Note (5.2.07):
EU doc no: 6003/07 indicates that no view has yet been taken whether to propose a "first pillar" Decision covering immigration and asylum matters.

The Presidency Note however is quite adamant that the "technical implementation of the provisions", adopted by the seven Prum member states, "must remain unchanged" - in other words the 20 other governments have to accept every "dot and comma" of the implementation Annex (145 pages, see below).

The Prum Convention was adopted by seven member states in May 2005 (Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Austria): Prum Treaty (full-text, pdf). This has now been supplemented by (in true Schengen fashion) with: Administrative
and technical implementing Agreement to the Prüm Convention (16 pages, pdf) ANNEX to Administrative and technical implementing Agreement to the Prüm Convention (145 pages, pdf)
