EU plans tighter interconnection of security and migration databases

Original: EU-Datenbanken: Die EU will ihre großen Sicherheits- und Migrationsdatenbanken noch enger verzahnen. Beim Innenministerr

At the Justice and Home Affairs Council on 1 October, EU interior ministers discussed deepening the 'interoperability' of the bloc's major security and migration databases, including expanding ECRIS-TCN and ETIAS. Critics, including digital rights advocates, warn the technical move is political: data collected for one purpose could increasingly be linked and used for others, raising surveillance and privacy concerns.

Why now: Digital rights and privacy advocates are warning that closer EU database interconnection expands surveillance beyond original purposes.
