lpv:translated text	". The Schengen Information System is an electronic system for recording, identifying and monitoring suspects and is used purely for policing and repressive purposes. It is applied with a great deal of enthusiasm in order to suppress the burgeoning grass-roots movement opposed to European Union policy and to ensure that Fortress Europe keeps out immigrants. Even though a great many complaints have been made, including by advocates of the SIS, about its lack of transparency and threat to human rights, the European Parliament assented last year to a new, second-generation system, on the pretext of fighting terrorism. We would remind the House that the Schengen Information System started up in 1995, well before 11 September 2001. The Spanish initiative, which the Coelho report endorses despite its rhetoric on protection of civil rights, proposes that all the repressive agencies of the ΕU (Europol, Eurojust etc.) should have access to the system and that it should extend to new data categories. The proposal to collect and exchange information on foreigners applying for residence permits, using the fight against terrorism as an excuse, is in keeping with the racist and xenophobic attitude of the rulers of the ΕU. This is an anti-democratic initiative and the grass-roots movement is fighting to reject both it and the Schengen Information System itself."@en1
