Aliens registration: Early June, in Holland, the Aliens Administration System (Vreemdelingen Administratie Systeem VAS) started. The system will hold all data for identification and residence permits of all foreigners staying in Holland. The systems will be linked with the local registers. All police forces will have access to the system as will the social services and tax authorities.

Belgium: Surete to watch immigrants: The Director-General of the Belgian civilian security service, the Surete, said in a magazine interview that the changing task of the security service now involved investigating networks of illegal immigrants and Arab fundamentalists.

EC immigration Ministers meeting: at the meeting of EC Ministers responsible for immigration in Lisbon in June it was agreed to set up the Centre for Information, Research and Exchange on Asylum as a "clearing house". The Centre will be set up within the General Secretariat of the Council in Brussels (the Council is the body representing the 12 governments of Ec countries). They also agreed to add 12 countries in the former Soviet Union to the list of countries requiring visas to enter the EC. Council of the European Communities, press release 11.6.92.
