  • National Programmes for Mass Surveillance of Personal Data in Eu Member States and Their Compatibility with Eu Law
    DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR INTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT C: CITIZENS' RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS CIVIL LIBERTIES, JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS NATIONAL PROGRAMMES FOR MASS SURVEILLANCE OF PERSONAL DATA IN EU MEMBER STATES AND THEIR COMPATIBILITY WITH EU LAW STUDY Abstract In the wake of the disclosures surrounding PRISM and other US surveillance programmes, this study makes an assessment of the large-scale surveillance practices by a selection of EU member states: the UK, Sweden, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Given the large-scale nature of surveillance practices at stake, which represent a reconfiguration of traditional intelligence gathering, the study contends that an analysis of European surveillance programmes cannot be reduced to a question of balance between data protection versus national security, but has to be framed in terms of collective freedoms and democracy. It finds that four of the five EU member states selected for in-depth examination are engaging in some form of large-scale interception and surveillance of communication data, and identifies parallels and discrepancies between these programmes and the NSA-run operations. The study argues that these surveillance programmes do not stand outside the realm of EU intervention but can be engaged from an EU law perspective via (i) an understanding of national security in a democratic rule of law framework where fundamental human rights standards and judicial oversight constitute key standards; (ii) the risks presented to the internal security of the Union as a whole as well as the privacy of EU citizens as data owners, and (iii) the potential spillover into the activities and responsibilities of EU agencies.

  • Proposed Graduation Requirements: Public Comments
    Proposed Graduation Requirements Public Comments EXHIBIT #1 Date Received: May 3, 2018 (Braun, Ipswich) I am very disappointed by the new proposed graduation requirements. I know the state is saying they are adding flexibility but what you are doing is allowing students to get out of important and worthwhile classes. I am telling you that if the highest level math class a student has to take is Algebra I, we are not preparing them for a successful future or career. Math teaches students how to think, reason, and problem solve. These skills are only in their beginning stages in Algebra I. They need higher level math to really develop these skills. With the big push for STEM, STEAM, and knowing these are the areas where jobs are available, we are taking a huge step in the wrong direction. You are asking students at around age 14 to decided if they are going to go on to higher education or not. If they decided to take the advanced career path as a freshman as a junior it is already to late to change your mind. This reminds me of a young man who was set on going back to the family farm, but halfway through his senior year decided he would go to a tech school because making it in farming is getting hard. Had he been on the career path he would be in big trouble right now. Luckily he took Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II and will have no problem at tech school. I am so surprised that the state wants to graduate unprepared students.

Angesichts des großen Ausmaßes der untersuchten Überwachungspraxis muss man davon ausgehen, dass es sich im Vergleich zum traditionellen Sammeln geheimdienstlicher Daten um eine grundlegende Neuordnung der Überwachungspraxis handelt. Deshalb wird in der Studie die Ansicht vertreten, dass eine Analyse der europäischen Überwachungsprogramme nicht auf die Frage der Balance zwischen Datenschutz und nationaler Sicherheit beschränkt bleiben darf, sondern in den größeren Zusammenhang der kollektiven Freiheitsrechte und der Demokratie gestellt werden muss. Zu den Ergebnissen der Studie gehört, dass in vier von fünf der EU-Mitgliedstaaten, die für eine nähere Untersuchung ausgewählt worden sind, in irgendeiner Form ein Abfangen und Überwachen von Kommunikationsdaten in großem Ausmaß erfolgt. Ferner werden in der Studie Parallelen und Unterschiede zwischen diesen Programmen und den seitens der NSA durchgeführten Operationen ermittelt. Die Verfasser der Studie gelangen

    27 November 2018 RESEARCH PAPER INTELLIGENCE STUDIES IN FRANCE History, Structure and Proposals Jean-Vincent HOLEINDRE Professor of political science at the University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas, scientific director of the IRSEM Benjamin OUDET Doctoral candidate in political science, lecturer at the University of Poitiers and Sciences Po ABSTRACT Since the September 11 attacks, there has been a threefold legitimization of the intelligence field in France: due to the international context, through contemporary security challeng- es such as terrorism, organized crime, information manipulation; and the subsequent shift in public policies (leading in particular to the Intelligence Act of July 24th, 2015); and by the changing perception of a public affected by the terrorist threat. This context can encourage the development of intelligence studies, which has so far struggled to establish itself in France. The subject is indeed being considered in an increasing number of works in the humanities and social sciences, especially in history, law and political science. This paper reviews intel- ligence studies in France, without claiming to establish an exhaustive map of the field. It is – No. 67 organized into three sections: first, a brief history of intelligence studies through the compari- son of the Anglo-American world and France. Data on the structure of the field (publications, theses, research networks, internationalization) will then be presented. Finally, ten proposals are made for the development of intelligence studies, particularly in terms of teaching, clear- ances granted to researchers, and the creation of a specialized journal. We also advocate a rapprochement between academics and professionals, carried out with strict respect for the independence of the spheres and with concern for mutual understanding.
