Cordially invite you to a private, and informative lunch discussion on:
RFID -- An International Perspective on Privacy and Security
The European Union's Information Society and Media Commission, recently announced their intentions to not regulate RFID for now. The European Commission will instead look to raise awareness of RFID and make sure that citizens are able to make decisions as to how their personal data is used. The EU will be creating a "Stakeholder Group" that includes consumer groups; industry experts, national and European officials to advise the Commission about RFID and it's applications, to facilitate evolving EU policies around RFID.
Over the next two years, the Commission will continue to analyze issues related to spectrum, research and development, standards, privacy and security, intellectual property, environmental impact, interoperability, and neutrality of RFID databases defined by the Commission as the “Internet of Things.”
To learn more about these developments, and to discuss how the EU decisions might impact US public policy, please join us in welcoming:
Mr. Gerald Santucci
Head of Unit, ICT for Enterprise Networking

Ms. Hana Pechackova
