2. EU: Justice and Home Affairs Council, 24 February 2005. The main agenda
includes the Council objection to the "naming of shaming" of member states
in the Commission's report on Joint Investigation Teams. The meeting will
also discuss Council Conclusions on biometric data in visas and residence
permits - these confirm Statewatch's story that a visa chip in passport
creates a "collision problem" so the Council is now seeking to advance the
inclusion of biometrics in the Visa Information System to 2006.
