UNI-Europa expresses drawbacks of RFID technology to EU Commissioner
Union Network International and UNI-Europa have conducted an extensive study on the use and misuse of RFID technology and sent its conclusions to EU Commissioner Viviane Reding.
The study sees potentiality of RFID technology in retail sector. The use of RFID technology in the supply chain management and warehouse reduces cost, saves time and benefits the business enterprises.
However, the study has echoed concerns about the RFID technology for the breach of privacy. The UNI-Europa has criticized the installment of RFID technology in the work places where the employees are tracked undesirably. It further complains the RFID tags being attached with personal files without the knowledge of employees.
UNI has urged the EU to take initiatives in this regard. It would introduce the UNI Code of Good Practice for RFID in the workplace.
