EU: Justice and Home Affairs Council, 24 February 2005

01 February 2005

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

The main agenda includes the Council objection to the "naming of shaming" of member states in the Commission's report on Joint Investigation Teams. The meeting will also discuss Council Conclusions on biometric data in visas and residence permits - these confirm Statewatch's story that a visa chip in passport creates a "collision problem" so the Council is now seeking to advance the inclusion of biometrics in the Visa Information System to 2006.

1. JHA "B" Point agenda
