Member states attacked for signing US proposal
EUOBSERVER / LONDON - The European Union has begun proceedings against member states which have agreed to co-operate with a controversial US proposal on container security. The Commission earlier this week announced that it would be taking action against the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and France for signing agreements concerning the US' Container Security Initiative (CSI) . The US describes the CSI as being "designed to detect and deter terrorists from exploiting the vulnerabilities of containerised cargo" but has been heavily criticised by the Commission as having trade distorting influence.

(*Editors Note | Since September 11th, 2001, there has been intense speculation regarding Bush administration negotiations with the Taliban regarding this very project prior to the attacks. American petroleum giant Unocal very much wanted this project for years, but it was stymied in 1998 after bin Laden blew up two American embassies in Africa, causing the Taliban to be diplomatically isolated. There are a number of reports that describe a reinvigoration of this pipeline plan after Bush took office, and further describe the Bush administration's negotiations with the Taliban including threats of war if the project was not allowed to pass through Afghanistan. Some say these threats, in the name of the pipeline, triggered the 9/11 attacks. The Taliban is gone, Afghan President Harmid Karzai is a former Unocal consultant, and the pipeline deal is finally done. - wrp)
