Auf YouTube gibt es einen Vortrag zum Thema „The EU as a security state“ von Ben Hays zu sehen – gehalten am 23. Januar 2008 anlässlich einer Seminarreihe zum Thema „Aspects of the EU“.
[youtube]http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=6VKqo2yubOk[/youtube]Ben Hayes of ‚Statewatch‘ discusses the ongoing creation of an EU transnational state apparatus in areas such as security, Justice & Home Affairs, surveillance, and immigration ‚control‘. These new powers, often transferred to the EU level without public debate or democratic oversight, raise serious questions about the ongoing erosion of civil liberties across the EU.
