Implementation of the Strategy and Action Plan to Combat Terrorism (June-November 2008) (pdf)
Implementation of the Strategy and Action Plan to Combat Terrorism (pdf)
and EU Counter-Terrorism Strategy - Discussion paper (pdf).

The idea of a "European Security Label" was raised in the Future Group report, see: Statewatch's: The Shape of Things to Come (pdf) and the European Security Research and Innovation Forum (ESRIF) report in September, see: European Security Research and Innovation Forum intermediate report (pdf).

Tony Bunyan, Statewatch editor, comments:

"The background documents to the Future Group and the ESRIF report show that PET (privacy enhancing technology) with a European Security Label would allay fears that law enforcement and internal security agencies could gain access to communications and personal data. But equally they show that the agencies are opposed to PET because this could be exploited by criminals and others. The likelihood is that such an official "Label" would give the impression that privacy would be respected while built-in trap-doors would give the agencies access whenever they want"
