   1/4 🚨 The EU is set to sell our most sensitive data to the US for visa-free travel 🚨

   🛫 The European Commission is finalising talks with the Trump administration on the 'Enhanced Border Security Partnership' (EBSP) Framework Agreement to keep visa exemptions for EU citizens travelling to the US.

   Read our analysis of the leaked EBSP framework agreement, and our call to EU leaders to resist US pressure and protect our safeguards ➡️ https://edri.org/our-work/the-eu-is-about-to-sell-our-most-sensitive-data-to-the-us-for-visa-free-travel/

     @edri Visa-free access is valuable only for places people want to visit. The EU could negotiate much more strongly by placing travel advisories on the USA (entirely reasonable for a place where people are shot by government employees with no due process and no consequences). Most travel insurance is invalid if there was a travel advisory in place when you left. And you really don’t want to visit the USA without travel insurance because a brief trip to the doctor without it can bankrupt you.

     US tourism is already taking a big hit because people who read the news are avoiding it. Put more pressure on.

     @david_chisnall @edri kind of surprised people still come here after what the state department was doing with the canadians.
