"US authorities now want access to 'appropriate criminal, terrorist, and identity records,' and Visa Waiver Program states are the first targets for the plan. Earlier this year, the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the EU noted a 'lack of full reciprocity of the data to be exchanged,' indicating that the US wanted to receive more than it was willing to give. The USA also approached the European Commission and the two sides set up a joint working group." "The European Commission has indicated that its working group with the USA has stopped operating, and that plans are instead being negotiated bilaterally between member states and the USA." The paper linked is a fun read: https://www.statewatch.org/media/4100/usa-ibis-privacy-impact-assessment-11-22.pdf https://www.statewatch.org/media/4100/usa-ibis-privacy-impac... I particularly liked this one: "Privacy Risk: There is a risk DHS collects data on individuals who may never seek to travel to the United States." "Mitigation: This risk is partially mitigated."
