Transatlantic Cooperation after 9/11: “Homeland
Security” Issues
Transatlantic cooperation in the area of “homeland security” stepped up after 9/11. This article examines how the European Union
and its member states responded to US demands in this domain. Three areas
of US-EU negotiations are analyzed: the transfer of passenger data (PNR) to
US authorities, the Container Security Initiative and the issue of machinereadable passports that include biometric data. In most of these domains, the
United States managed to take advantage of institutional, intra-European
divisions. Yet, a case can be made that there is also a genuine transatlantic
convergence at work – as suggested by a comparative examination of the
methods used within the frame of antiterrorism and the fight against illigal
immigration.
