EU tables anti-foreign fighters laws By Eric Maurice-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, 2. Dec, 19:21-The European Commission on Wednesday (2 December) adopted a two-fold package to address the terrorist threat and fight arms trafficking in the wake of the 13 November Paris attacks.The first item is a proposal for a directive on terrorism that focuses on the phenomenon of so-called foreign fighters, who are mainly EU citizens.The proposed directive, which refers to foreign fighters as "people travelling to conflict zones, in particular to Syria and Iraq, to fight or train with terrorist groups,” introduces in EU law criminalisation of travelling and training for terrorist purposes, both within and outside the EU."The phenomenon is growing," the commission notes."By late 2014, the overall number of people who have departed from the EU to conflict areas was estimated to have exceeded 3,000 and is now assessed to have reached 5,000, while at the same time the number of returnees was reported to have increased in some member states."The text also criminalises the funding, organisation, and facilitation of such trips, as well as the funding and logistical and material support to terrorist actions.The second item of the package is an action plan against firearms trafficking and use of explosives.Following measures taken in the wake of the Paris attacks to restrict acquisition of automatic weapons and introduce common and stricter standards of weapons deactivation, the commission is proposing to step up cooperation between member states to restrict access to firearms.The EU executive asks for a greater role for Europol, the EU police support agency, against trafficking, through a recently established Internet Referral Unit.The action plan also states that "organised crime and terrorist networks are known to evolve rapidly and to make the most of technological innovation" and says the commission will assess with member states, Europol, and the firearms and chemical industry "the impact of technological advancements on the potential availability of firearms and explosives.”Member states are asked to carry out "risk-based controls on goods at the external borders,” to “explore the idea of prohibiting payments in cash for firearms sales" and t”o facilitate the exchange of ballistic information through a dedicated platform.”The EU will develop cooperation with Middle East and North African countries as well as Turkey and Ukraine to fight arms trafficking.The commission also told member states there is an "urgent priority" to fully implement a 2014 regulation on explosives to prevent acts of terrorism.
Prosecutors, defence differ over whether Baltimore officer could've saved Freddie Gray's life-By David Dishneau And Juliet Linderman, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – DEC 2,15-YAHOONEWS
BALTIMORE - The first of six officers charged in a police custody death that sparked riots in Baltimore went on trial Wednesday as a prosecutor focused on what the patrolman failed to do: Push a button to call for a medic who might have saved Freddie Gray's life.Attorneys for Officer William Porter disputed this and other claims made in the trial's opening statements, questioning how and when Gray's neck was broken in the back of a police van, and whether the young black man was really in need of medical attention when he first asked for it."You may hope finding him guilty will quell unrest," but Porter committed no crime, defence attorney Gary Proctor told jurors."Let's show Baltimore the whole damn system isn't guilty as hell," Proctor said, paraphrasing a chant used by protesters in the Black Lives Matter movement.Porter wasn't initially involved in Gray's arrest, but he was there at five of the six stops the van made that turned a short trip into a 45-minute ride to the local police station.Prosecutors said the young black man told Porter he could not breathe and could not move from the floor of the van, where he had been placed head-first, in plastic handcuffs and leg shackles.Gray's neck was broken between the second and fourth stops, which made his breathing increasingly difficult, said the prosecutor. He suggested the fatal injury could have happened when the brakes engaged, since Gray could not have used his hands or feet to brace himself."If it slams on its brakes, he's going to move at the speed it was going before it slams on its brakes," prosecutor Michael Schatzow said. "He's completely at the mercy of whatever happens."Rather than call a medic, Porter picked Gray up from the floor and placed him upright but unsecured on the bench, despite Baltimore Police Department policy requiring a seatbelt restraint, he said.Pointing to a poster-sized photo of the van with one of its rear doors open, Schatzow said: "The city paid extra to get those seat belts in that van, any one of which would have saved Mr. Gray's life."Then, rather than take him directly to the station or a hospital, police made a fifth stop to pick up another suspect. By then, Gray was fatally injured, prosecutors said.The defence attorney disputed the timeline, arguing that Gray was found slumped over on his knees by the fifth stop, so he could not have been already injured. "It's impossible. His legs wouldn't have worked," Proctor said.Porter also suspected Gray had a case of "jail-itis" — police slang for feigning an injury to avoid going to jail, his attorney suggested.Porter "knew he didn't go quietly" during earlier arrests, so when Gray became more passive while still requesting a medic during van stops 4 and 5, the officer assumed he had simply exhausted himself rocking the vehicle early in the ride, Proctor said.As for pushing the "talk" button on his shoulder radio to summon a medic, Porter's experience told him that could mean spending hours with Gray in an emergency room awaiting a doctor's note clearing him to go to jail, the defence attorney said.Gray, 25, was picked up after running from police who were patrolling his neighbourhood. A neighbour recorded a video of him being dragged into the van. He was unresponsive on arrival at the station, and was taken to a hospital where he died a week later, on April 19.Porter, who also is black, is charged with manslaughter, second-degree assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment, carrying maximum terms of about 25 years in prison. He is expected to take the stand in his own defence.The jury of eight women and four men was seated on the third day of a brisk selection process, given defence assertions that it would be impossible to seat an impartial panel in a city so convulsed by the case.Gray's death triggered protests and rioting in Baltimore, fueling the Black Lives Matter movement nationwide. The troubles forced Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to fire her reform-minded police chief and abandon her re-election campaign. Homicides skyrocketed at a rate unseen in decades.Many fear that an acquittal could prompt more protests and unrest, and that a conviction could send shock waves through the city's troubled police department.The other officers charged — two black and three white — will be tried separately beginning in January and lasting through the spring.No reputations hinge on the trial's outcome as much as that of state's attorney Marilyn Mosby and her husband, Nick Mosby, a councilman for Baltimore's west side who announced his mayoral candidacy shortly after Rawlings-Blake pulled out.Marilyn Mosby, who took office in January, spoke so forcefully when she announced the charges against the officers in May that defence attorneys argued she should recuse herself for bias. She listened Wednesday in the courtroom. Gray's mother, stepfather and other family members were in the courtroom as well. Porter also had family present.The state's first witness, Officer Alice Carson-Johnson, taught Porter at the police academy. She said officers must sometimes "do a little detective work" to understand medical complaints, but she hopes they will have already summoned an ambulance before trying to determine why someone is saying, "I can't breathe."___ This story has been corrected to say the prosecutor said Gray's neck was broken between the second and fourth stops, not the third and fourth stops.
Focus-Internet of Things: many uses but what about rules? By Peter Teffer-EUOBSERVER
Brussels, 2. Dec, 13:10-The European Union is expecting great benefits from the Internet of Things, but the online connection of physical devices via sensors is also a potential head-scratcher for policymakers.There is a multitude of possibly disruptive ways in which the Internet of Things (IoT) may affect European legislation.“ It's easy to get a headache. Where do you start?”, said the European Commission's Thibaut Kleiner recently.Kleiner, head of the commission unit that deals with network technologies, moderated a panel session on IoT policy last Thursday (26 November), at a Brussels conference titled 'The Future of Internet of Things in Europe', organised by the Digital Enlightenment Forum, Huawei, and the European Parliament's magazine.There is no universal definition of the Internet of Things, but it generally refers to the increasing digital interconnection of objects, rather than computers.A well-known example is the smart meter, which allows its owner to remotely control energy use. As emphasised at the conference, there may be IoT applications that we cannot imagine yet right now.Estimations of how many objects will be connected vary, but in a background paper accompanying its Digital Single Market strategy, published last May, the Commission decided to refer to a prediction of possibly 26 billion connected devices by 2020.-Revolution-“ IoT will revolutionise, like the mobile technology has done a few years ago, business models,” said Mario Campolargo, director of the Net Futures unit of the commission.It became clear at the conference that there are still many questions about how IoT will affect the EU's privacy and security rules, and whether these rules will stand the test of time.The current privacy rules were drafted with the idea that one provider of a service collects your data with a certain purpose. However, increasingly easy large-scale data analysis commonly known as Big Data, may facilitate indirect and unexpected inferences.“There is normally a contract with you and any service provider,” said Frederic Donck, head of the European division of the Internet Society, a regulatory body of the Internet.“It's okay to have a toothbrush connected to the Internet, it's okay to have your refrigerator, your watch [connected], but if all this goes on the same network, somewhere someone might have a pretty narrow idea of your health”, noted Donck.-Click here to accept- He also pointed out that the Internet of Things may render unrealistic 'notice and consent', the principle that citizens should be informed about data that is being collected about them and then make an informed decision to agree or not.The idea of notice and consent lies behind the current rules that make websites inform their users that they are putting small text files known as cookies on their computer, and that requires users to agree to cookies before using the website's service.“I'm a very strong proponent of notice-and-consent, but yes, how do we do it with the Internet of Things?," asked Donck. "Do we need every cheap sensor to have a click and you would agree? Would you be asked to click every time?”Sebastien Ziegler coordinates two European research projects on IoT. He voiced similar concerns.He noted that a new regulation on data protection, the details of which are currently being negotiated behind closed doors by representatives of the European parliament and national governments, “will impact IoT directly”.“It will make compulsory that if you want to use any personal data you need to have prior informed consent”, said Ziegler.“If you have sensors deployed massively, how do you handle that? How do you ensure that any people passing nearby will be informed about that?”The regulation is expected to come into force some time next year, which means that companies will have to adhere to it by 2018. But Ziegler added he is optimistic “innovative solutions” will be invented.“I am sure we will have enough creativity to overcome that. But there will be a need for the industry and research community really to address it,” said Ziegler.Who will be responsible? One other aspect is liability.“Objects will take decisions on the basis of policies. We expect that their decisions will be conforming with the policies that we authorise them to take, but this may not be the case,” said the commission's Campolargo.If the autonomous system of, for example, a car, causes an accident, who is then responsible? Is it the software manufacturer? The internet provider? The consumer? These kinds of questions need to be answered if IoT is to be adopted.Trust and security are key.“You will not have any market [for IoT products] if you don't convince the citizens that what you're developing in terms of technology is safe, is a benefit for the society and not a threat,” noted Ziegler.At the same time, there are calls on governments to allow for exemptions, and not regulate too much."IoT is still in its infancy and as such for it to flourish, we need to avoid excessive regulation that would prevent new innovative business initiative," said Tony Graziano, vice-president of Huawei's European public affairs and communications office." However, there is a need to provide sufficient assurance to users that there is a framework in place. Without putting users at the heart of the IoT, people will remain afraid of the technology," he added.Wim De Waele, a Belgian investor in tech start-ups, said that in addition to technological experiments, “there should also be regulatory pilots and environments where citizens can experiment together with technology companies and service providers”.“I would encourage the European Commission and the local authorities … to get rid of the rules – privacy, whatever it is – that we are in Europe so hung up about, that hamper the introduction of certain technology, at least in a contained environment,” noted De Waele.In a conversation with EUobserver, however, De Waele predicted it will be “ten to twenty years” before the Internet of Things will be a mainstream phenomenon.That gives the EU some time to think about what it wants to do.The commission, for its part, is not rushing into any new IoT-specific legislation. Rather, it is first asking around whether there is an appetite for new rules.As part of its Digital Single Market strategy, it has opened a number of consultations, some of them ask stakeholders about the Internet of Things.The consultation on 'Online platforms, cloud & data, liability of intermediaries, collaborative economy', for example, asks whether the current legal framework is future-proof. Answers can be sent in until 30 December.

Without putting users at the heart of the IoT, people will remain afraid of the technology," he added.Wim De Waele, a Belgian investor in tech start-ups, said that in addition to technological experiments, “there should also be regulatory pilots and environments where citizens can experiment together with technology companies and service providers”.“I would encourage the European Commission and the local authorities … to get rid of the rules – privacy, whatever it is – that we are in Europe so hung up about, that hamper the introduction of certain technology, at least in a contained environment,” noted De Waele.In a conversation with EUobserver, however, De Waele predicted it will be “ten to twenty years” before the Internet of Things will be a mainstream phenomenon.That gives the EU some time to think about what it wants to do.The commission, for its part, is not rushing into any new IoT-specific legislation. Rather, it is first asking around whether there is an appetite for new rules.As part of its Digital Single Market strategy, it has opened a number of consultations, some of them ask stakeholders about the Internet of Things.The consultation on 'Online platforms, cloud & data, liability of intermediaries, collaborative economy', for example, asks whether the current legal framework is future-proof. Answers can be sent in until 30 December.
