Looks like the EU inquiry into RFID privacy issues is still ongoing and after talking to the industry leaders about the potential uses for RFID, they are looking to the public's view now...Go have a say if you think that your privacy could be invaded when you get home with a RFID'ed bag of chips.
The EU launched on July 3 a public forum, "Your Voice in Europe," in which citizens (and other "stakeholders") are encouraged to discuss the potential uses and potential threats of RFID (radio-frequency identification).
The EU started formally looking at RFID earlier in 2006. From March through June it held a series of workshops with governmental agencies and the private sector to examine the various aspects of RFID.

Holy Bible; King James Version: Revelations: {13:9} If any man have an ear, let him hear. {13:10}
He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that
killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is
the patience and the faith of the saints. {13:11} And I
beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had
two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. {13:12}
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before
him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to
worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
{13:13} And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire
come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
{13:14} And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the
means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the
sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth,
that they should make an image to the beast, which had the
wound by a sword, and did live. {13:15} And he had power
to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the
beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would
not worship the image of the beast should be killed. {13:16}
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free
and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads: {13:17} And that no man might buy or sell, save
he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the
number of his name. {13:18} Here is wisdom. Let him that
hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is
the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred
threescore [and] six.
