WELCOME to RACE networkRFID

Race networkRFID is designed to become a federating platform to the benefit of all European Stakeholders in the development, adoption and usage of RFID.

The network considers its mission is to creates opportunities and increases the competitiveness of European Member States in the area of RFID thought leadership, development and implementation. At the same time it will position RFID technology within the mainstream of information and communications technology (ICT).

Word from the European Commission:

"RFID will form the basis of better and safer healthcare, drastically improved supply chain management, low cost environmental monitoring for a cleaner, more sustainable future. We need a pro-active European approach so that we can benefit from the advantages of RFID while giving citizens, consumers and businesses choice, transparency and control."

Vivane Reding, former European Commissioner for Information Society & Media

"Let me say that I am quite happy about how the RFID Recommendation is unfolding. Industry is fulfilling ahead of time the role assigned to them and no privacy problems having been reported to me. But I want to take the occasion to urge all stakeholders that play a role in its implementation to not lose the momentum: the so-called RFID signs or logos need to be developed, the retail provisions need to be put in place and, altogether, all the measures need to be implemented. I am confident that this soft-approach is working but I remind everyone that stronger approaches are always a possibility. My intention is therefore to take up the big challenges of the Internet of Things, as my predecessor did with RFID."

Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission, responsible for the Digital Agenda A Digital Agenda for Europe

RACE networkRFID position on European Commission RFID Recommendation on Privacy and Data Protection PDFPrintE-mail

RACE networkRFID position concerning the European Commission RFID Recommendation on Privacy and Data Protection

The relationship between policy on the one hand and implementation / deployment  is clear and informs our work within the RACE Network. This is especially relevant in the context of the recently adopted European Commission RFID Recommendation on Privacy and Data Protection. The Recommendation is considered to be an essential policy instrument that provides guidance on how to deploy RFID in a privacy friendly manner. Nevertheless, the Recommendation allows for further work on  the implementation of its policy principles, and calls for relevant stakeholders to focus on awareness raising, codes of practice, measures of transparency (European harmonized logo) privacy by design proposals in  real deployment  scenarios as well as the contributions towards a Privacy Impact Assessment Framework.
