The
EU is looking into introducing an electronic travel authorisation
system after a similar system was approved in the United States. "We
are considering introducing this [system] here. A final decision has
not yet been taken," said a spokesman for justice commissioner
Franco Frattini. He went on to add that the EU would have to look at
whether the scheme introduced more security benefits to passengers
than travel inconvenience.

US
president George W. Bush signed off a series of anti-terrorism
measures that included a system of electronic screening for
passengers travelling to the US and not requiring a visa. The new
system will mean that travellers from the 15 EU member states that
currently do not require visas for the US - mainly western Europe
states - will have to register online and complete a questionnaire
before being allowed to travel. This could in practise mean giving
two day's notice before flying to the US – something the EU
fears will obstruct business travel.

Speaking
about the possible EU scheme, Mr Frattini's spokesman said the
"details" still have to be worked out but noted that the
system was already in place in Australia and appeared to work well.
Commissioner Frattini is to present an initial report on the issue to
an EU interior ministers' meeting next month. On Monday, the two
sides conducted high-level talks in Brussels into the US law and its
potential impact.
