3/3

3️⃣ Unsubstantiated:

❌ No impact assessment.
❌ No proof it works.
Even the European Data Protection Supervisor @EDPS warns it violates EU law and puts #privacy & safety at risk.

This reform won’t protect people. It’ll criminalise solidarity, erode democracy, and put everyone under surveillance.

Civil society calls on MEPs:

❌ Reject the Europol Regulation
✅ Protect rights, privacy & democracy.

2/3

1️⃣ Unlawful:

The proposal expands Europol’s #surveillance capacities, allowing it to collect and use biometrics like #FacialRecognition on a massive scale, without transparency and effective safeguards against abuse.

2️⃣ Unsafe:

This reform encourages data collection & data sharing from and with third countries, including authoritarian regimes.

It turns “anti-smuggling” into a blank cheque for surveillance against migrants, NGOs & journalists.

The European Parliament votes on its report about the planned expansion of surveillance powers for #Europol on Tuesday.

* It fails to protect migrants or reduce border deaths.
* Is a power grab by Europol.
* It criminalises migrants and solidarity organisers.

We call on MEPs to vote against!

European Parliament LIBE committee votes on the #Europol report next week.

MEPs 👏 must 👏 vote 👏 against!

🐎 It is a Trojan horse for surveillance disguised as „anti-smuggling“
💰 It would expand the budget for a problematic agency

The EU must take responsibility for forcing migrants into life-threatening situations, change its hostile border & migration policies, and reject the expansion of Europol’s digital surveillance powers.
