(And do not say the Guardian has no sense for humor, the subtitle of the
story is 'European integration')
Travel ban to block 'anarchist' leaders Travel ban to block riot leaders European integration Ian Black in Gothenburg and Michael White Monday June 18, 2001 The Guardian Governments of the leading industrialised states are to use a detailed police dossier on the "travelling anarchists' circus" which disrupted the EU's Gothenburg summit to prevent key organisers from entering countries hosting future meetings. After three days of rioting in Sweden's second city, and as EU states set in train urgent talks on security cooperation to forestall violence at future summits, it emerged that ringleaders are likely to be treated like football hooligans - and kept at home.

Gothenburg leaves summits in disarray
Urgent security reviews of forthcoming summits are under way after the
rioting which marred the European Union's Gothenburg summit.
Next month's G8 summit in the Italian city of Genoa is expected to see a
dramatic new approach to security, with fears that protesters may be spurred
on by their success in disrupting the Swedish event.
The suggestion is even being raised that the Genoa summit might have to be
moved to a warship or cruise liner to guarantee the safety of delegates -
who will include US President George W Bush.
And finally our street-fughter turned foreign minister: "German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, himself the target of a media and political campaign in connection with his own past as a militant demonstrator, declared his "horror" at the violence."
