Risiken bei der EU VISa Datebank und Ausbeutung von Arbeitnehmern in der EU

Als Mitglied der Fundamental Rights Platform (FRA) dokumentiert Aktion Freiheit statt Angst regelmäßig deren Veröffentlichungen, wenn sie unsere Themen betreffen. Der FRA Newsletter berichtete heute u.a. über Risiken für EU-Bürger durch das Visa Information System (VIS). Ein weiterer wichtiger Punkt betrifft die Schwierigkeiten bei der Überwachung von schwerer Arbeitnehmer-Ausbeutung durch Arbeitsmigration innerhalb der EU.

Long-term EU residents at risk from wider scope of EU visa system (VIS)

Long-term residents could find their sensitive personal data stored indefinitely, under new proposals for the EU’s Visa Information System (VIS). This poses privacy and data protection risks, according to the latest FRA Opinion http://fra.europa.eu/en/news/2018/long-term-eu-residents-risk-wider-scope-eu-visa-system.

VIS holds data on over 52 million visitors to the EU. Current plans could extend that by 20 million people, including all non-EU citizens residing in EU Member States.
