The EU law enforcement agency Europol has set up a “Focal Point Travellers", in which “foreign fighters” are recorded (www.statewatch.org/news/2014/nov/ eu-foreign-fighters-16002-14.pdf). This constitutes an extensive collection of data, which individual Member States are involved in through contributing and extracting data. The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) is also involved in this. Europol has a total of 20 “Focal Points”. Another Focal Point is “Islamist Terror”, which one can assume is identical in part to the “Focal Point Travellers”. Apart from EU Member States, Australia, Norway and Switzerland are participating. Serbia, Macedonia and the US Border and Customs agency intend to participate according to the Federal Government. Europol and the EU border agency Frontex concluded an agreement on the exchange of personal data in November 2014, which was subsequently presented to the respective Management Board of the two agencies and finally the data protection authorities. According to the Counter-terrorism Coordinator, in October a group called “Dumas” was set up on the issue of “foreign fighters”, which is headed by Italy and supported by Europol. Its main focus is “travellers alert lists (co-driver Austria), outreach measures (co-driver Hungary and Spain), best practice (co-driver France, UK), indicators (co-driver Germany, Luxembourg) and facilitators (co-driver Spain, UK)". In addition, Europol is carrying out a feasibility study, the Counter-terrorism Coordinator states, which could enable the technology “Ma3tch” used for the EU network of Financial Intelligence Units (FIU.net) to be used in the “Europol context”. This would make it possible for “the local sources of highly-confidential information to be virtually integrated using a decentralised computer system", which according to the CTC Mr Kerchove would enable “identification of “need to know” information in real time without information being transmitted to Europol”. The Federal Government has stated in this regard that its agencies are not authorised to use the “Ma3tch” technology (printed paper 18/2888).
