You are here: RFID Home - Our demands

Our demands

• No uncontrolled implementation of RFID!
• All testing of RFID chips on individual products allowing the drawing of conclusions about the individual person carrying them (tracking) must be abandoned at once!
• We demand the institution of a body that develops rules and laws towards a societally and democratically acceptable introduction of the RFID technologies. This body should be made up of representatives of data-, consumers'- and environmental protection (cf. what in Germany is called "electrosmog") groups, as well as workers' representatives and civil rights watchers. The "polluter pays principle" is to be applied: Since it is the retail business which profits by RFID, it is up to them to finance such a body - and not the tax payer alone.

Our demands are based on an extensive position paper on RFID which has been signed and endorsed by a wide range of institutions and individuals from all over the world.
