[Geoffrey Ramadan]

"Draft Recommendation on the implementation of privacy, data protection 
and information security principles in applications supported by Radio 
Frequency Identification (RFID): your opinion matters!"

http://ec.europa.eu/yourvoice/ipm/forms/dispatch?form=RFIDRec

The European Union has released an official recommendation for new 
policies to address privacy threats arising from the use of RFID 
systems. The RFID Recommendation will be open for public comment through 
April 25, 2008, and the EU plans to implement its resulting new policy 
by the summer. The policy is being developed to supplement the existing 
EU Data Protection Directive to cover circumstances specific to RFID.
