EU: Council of the European Union: SIS II (Schengen Information System): EU doc no: 14219-14

09 November 2014

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

See the full text: EU doc no: 14219-14 (pdf) call to set up:

"a central Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) integrated into the SIS II central system... " which would: "provide for fingerprints to be used not only to confirm the result of an alphanumeric identity search but also to identify a person on the basis of the biometric data alone.... in order to store fingerprints attached to SIS II alerts on persons, particularly for refusal of entry or law enforcement purposes. According to the concept, the new SIS II - AFIS would function as a 10-print identification AFIS behind the Central SIS II" [emphasis added]

Our work is only possible with your support.
