Πρόληψη της παράνομης κατάρτισης προφίλ σήμερα και στο μέλλον: οδηγός

Ο παρών οδηγός εξηγεί τι είναι η κατάρτιση προφίλ, τα νομικά πλαίσια που τη διέπουν και τον λόγο για τον οποίο η νόμιμη κατάρτιση προφίλ δεν είναι μόνο απαραίτητη για τη συμμόρφωση με τα θεμελιώδη δικαιώματα, αλλά και καίριας σημασίας για την αποτελεσματική αστυνόμευση και διαχείριση των συνόρων. Ο οδηγός παρέχει επίσης πρακτικές οδηγίες σχετικά με τρόπους αποφυγής της παράνομης κατάρτισης προφίλ στο πλαίσιο αστυνομικών επιχειρήσεων και επι-χειρήσεων διαχείρισης των συνόρων.

Παρακολούθηση από τις υπηρεσίες πληροφοριών: εγγυήσεις και μέσα έννομης προστασίας των θεμελιωδών δικαιωμάτων στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση - Τόμος ΙΙ - Σύνοψη

Ενόψει των εντεινόμενων απειλών της τρομοκρατίας, των επιθέσεων στον κυβερνοχώρο και των εξελιγμένων διασυνοριακών εγκληματικών δικτύων, το έργο των υπηρεσιών πληροφοριών έχει αποκτήσει πιο επείγοντα, σύνθετο και διεθνή χαρακτήρα. Το έργο αυτό μπορεί να επέμβει σε μεγάλο βαθμό στα θεμελιώδη δικαιώματα, ιδίως στο δικαίωμα της ιδιωτικής ζωής και της προστασίας των δεδομένων. Αν και οι συνεχείς τεχνολογικές εξελίξεις πιθανώς επιδεινώνουν τον κίνδυνο τέτοιου είδους παρεμβάσεων, η ύπαρξη αποτελεσματικών μέσων εποπτείας και έννομης προστασίας μπορεί να περιορίσει την πιθανότητα παραβιάσεων.

Second European Union Minorities and Discrimination Survey - Main results

Seventeen years after adoption of EU laws that forbid discrimination, immigrants, descendants of immigrants, and minority ethnic groups continue to face widespread discrimination across the EU and in all areas of life – most often when seeking employment. For many, discrimination is a recurring experience. This is just one of the findings of FRA’s second European Union Minorities and Discrimination Survey (EU-MIDIS II), which collected information from over 25,500 respondents with different ethnic minority and immigrant backgrounds across all 28 EU Member States.
