European Commission Issues RFID Privacy Recommendations
May 13, 2009—Industry and consumer organizations around Europe welcomed an official "recommendation on the implementation of privacy and data protection principles in applications supported by radio-frequency identification." Issued this week by the European Commission (EC), the document outlines data privacy objectives suggested for use in the organization's 27 member states.The recommendations will assure that that everyone involved in the design or operation of RFID-technology respects the individual's fundamental right to privacy and data protection, contained in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

The document, which spells out ways to protect consumers but also allows for flexibility, should help promote greater implementation of RFID technology.
