press release
Friday September 03, 2010 13:06 by Conor Mc - IPSC info at ipsc dot ie
Press Release, 3rd September 2010 The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) today praised the successful intervention by Irish Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern to block a proposed European Commission data-sharing plan with Israel. If adopted, the proposal would have given the go-ahead to EU member states to allow the transfer to and storage of sensitive personal data on European citizens to Israel. The European Commission proposal was for EU member states to give a green-light to a declaration that the EU recognises Israeli data protection standards as being sufficient to allow member states to transfer sensitive personal data to Israel. Without such a declaration, the transfer of sensitive personal data to Israel is illegal. As a result of Irish pressure, the move was debated in an EU committee that deals with protection of personal data. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2islam is not a normal state and neither are any of the arab lands,these religious extremists,have proven time and time again,why should WE TRUST ISRAEL?
The U.N do not posses the backbone to kick ISRAEL OUT.
After all the political debates,nothing done about them to this very day,even after they murdered a hamas operative in dubai,and involving illegal irish passports,israel have always been know for doing a ''SWISS'' on information!
What do you think israel would do with the sensitive and very personal information on citizens residing in the EU?Pass it over to their murder squad and FEIGN INNOCENCE.And make more unreasonable demands on us,no apology,no good will gestures.They should be kicked out of the EU completely and some sanctions need to be brought on them for a change!
As we all know israel follows the nazi model and apply it to palestine every day,ISRAEL HAS DINED OUT ON THEIR ''HOLCAUST'' FOR LONG ENOUGH!
How or when did EU citizens allow their governments or the EU to give away their personal data to anyone? and to Israel
This has to be some sort of sick joke surely?
Would the government in question be obliged to tell a citizen that some information about them had been given away to the terror state of Israel?
Like it would be handy to know if Mossad were going to assasinate you or just use your passport or some personal details in the assasination of someone...
How on earth could any government allow any of their citizens data to be handed over to Israel????? They have no claim on EU citizens data and the EU and its MEPs along with governments should be doing everything possible to protect their citizens while all the time making sure they are doing nothing to help the rogue state of Israel!!!!
Perhaps we can have some common sense and decency back again....
