    Face surveillance vs Facial Authentication: What is it and why should biometric mass surveillance be banned in the public space?

Facial authentication is used to verify that someone is who they say they are, when for example gaining secured access to a building or traveling through a passport gate. This is a one-to-one comp...

    For an independent EU ethics body common to all EU institutions

    The EU institutions have some of the best ethics rules for lobby transparency, for Commissioners and staff to cool-off before taking the revolving door into a lobby job and against other conflicts of interest. Yet, the implementation of these rules can be improved. The new EU Commission said it i...

    Find me if you can – Detecting gene-edited plants in the EU food chain

    EU governments are worried that GM plants engineered with so-called “gene editing” cannot be distinguished from similar, non-GM plants and therefore cannot be regulated. Based on such “practical questions”, they asked the Commission to assess, by April 2021, whether these ...

    Affordable Housing
