"Observers of the debate in Germany on the pros and cons of a nation-wide anti-terror register say the question is when, not if, such a database will be created. It's expected to aid anti-terror measures at the EU-level. When Germany's anti-terror register finally comes into being, it won't just make things easier for German officials -- it will also improve cooperation with the European police force, EUROPOL, which is already working on an EU-wide counter-terrorism database. At its headquarters in The Hague, EUROPOL has computers where EU member states can save names and relevant details about terrorist suspects or witnesses. Additionally, the databanks contain information on organized crime, drug smuggling and human trafficking. The computer system, TECS, can compare and analyze as many as a million data sets."
