"Virtual Schengen border"
Dear Cooperation WG friends, Does anyone know more about the work that the EU Law Enforcement Working Party is doing in Internet security? I just heard about their recent meeting, whose minutes [1] include the following: " The Presidency of the LEWP presented its intention to propose concrete measures towards creating a single secure European cyberspace with a certain "virtual Schengen border" and "virtual access points" whereby the Internet Service Providers (ISP) would block illicit contents on the basis of the EU "black-list". " This seems like an issue where feedback from the RIPE community could be important! Best, --Richard [1] <http://register.consilium.europa.eu/pdf/en/11/st07/st07181.en11.pdf>
Richard, Thanks for catching this. I hope there is someone that know more about this, and yes, it is something we could discuss a bit under one of the already existing items on the agenda. Worrisome, regarding what responsibilities intermediaries have. Initiatives like these does not really match what member states of EU talk about in the context of human right issues.

Patrik, all - EuroISPA (as one concerned party) is already aware of it, as I have been able to figure in the meantime. It seems that this might be an initiative from Hungary, currently the chairing the European council and testing the waters. It would be quite likely though, that this will remain a test only. Also, quite some European politicians raised their voice against it. Best, -C. On 29.04.2011 07:46, Patrik Fältström wrote:
