OPENEUROPE-LIST FOUNDED
The topic of the Eurofortress-list is to exchange views and news about the struggles for free Europe, against deportations, detention centers and the increasing police control over people both sides of the union borders.
The list is maintained from Finland, and it's main purpose is to create and facilitate program for a planned countermeeting against the Special Eurosummit about Immigration and Internal Security Policy, which will coincide with the Summit in Tampere, Finland on October 15th-16th 1999, and to get Finnish activist involved to the discussion going on all around the union, challenging the official EU policies. However, list will continue it's existence also after the meeting of Tampere.
All kinds of news, views and action alerts around these issues are welcome to the list. If list frequency becomes too high for the original purpose, discussion about counter strategies, tighter definition of the list topic will be made and new lists for excluded topics will be founded.
We find it important to have a list open to discussion with at least all major European languages and Finnish. When list starts to run, we start further discussion about which are the languages all list mail should be translated into, and which are the languages all list mail is recommended to be translated. If translations don't appear spontaneously, we will choose people responsible to make the translations. Of course, we welcome all material in other languages spoken this side of the Ural as well - you may start enlarging the variety of languages by translating this introduction into your language, and the list maintainer will add it to the introduction message.
The is both open and closed version of the list. Naturally we cannot guarantee that the list will not be tapped or supervised. We want from all the people interested to join the closed list a short definition of himself and why she/he is wants to join the list. If people already on the closed list find it important to exclude certain new candidates from the list for security reasons, they will not be added to the list.. The list maintainer will save all presentations and send them to new members. Please add to your presentation information about your willingness to make translations as well - and also about your language skills in general, so the list maintainer will have a general view which languages are most preferred by list users.
