Facts4EU.Org summarises the latest EU plans to know all the private details of its citizens<\/h3>\n

Yesterday (Wed 06 Sept 2023) the EU Commission of Frau Ursula von der Leyen announced its latest plans to continue the centralisation and digitalisation of personal data on the citizens of all the 27 member countries. Had it not been for Brexit, British citizens would have been sucked into this scheme starting from the end of this year.<\/p>\n

The new plans will accelerate the moves towards an EU \u2018Digital Identity Wallet\u2019<\/b> in 2024, held on people\u2019s smart-phones or on an EU card, as well as on central EU databases. This will contain a wide variety of information about them. The information will include their personal details including their full name, address, date of birth, marital status, healthcare information, social security status, employment details, and pension details.<\/p>\n

In addition to government and labour officials, it seems that big corporates<\/b> in the financial and medical world will also have access to this information.<\/p>\n

\n

Here is how the unelected EU Commission has justified all of this<\/h3>\n

The EU Commission has justified these moves by claiming they are necessary for \u2018freedom of movement\u2019.<\/p>\n

Here is what Herr Schmit, \u2018EU Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights\u2019, had to say yesterday :-<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis year is the 30th anniversary of the Single Market. This is also about free movement of people. There is no free movement of people without guaranteeing their social rights, and that’s why coordination of social security across borders is so important.\u201d\n\t<\/p>\n

Just how many EU citizens justify these moves to centralise data on them all?<\/h3>\n

Given that Herr Schmit justified the need for this centralised EU database on its citizens by reference to the EU\u2019s \u2018freedom of movement\u2019 principle, we have used his figures to show just how few EU citizens take advantage of it.<\/p>\n

Brexit Facts4EU.Org has looked at the numbers of EU citizens who might derive some benefit from these moves to a \u2018Big Sister\u2019 society. In what follows, we have used Commissioner Schmit\u2019s own figures which he included in his statement yesterday.<\/p>\n
