Not really. Visitors from outside the EU's "trusted sphere" will have their fingerprints taken at the border. Even though the EU is a membership of collective countries, this all-powerful entity is controlling its members and telling them to do this.
Likewise, using facial recognition technology on airports is exactly within scope of the EU to mandate (or outlaw).
- bilekas 7y ago> this all-powerful entity is controlling its members and telling them to do this. It's members make up the rules.. To get a facial recognition ban, all members must agree to implement it. Then it becomes part of the EU standards.. Members agree to it, then implement it. Its is NOT: "Well you have to implement this because you're a member of the EU" - It does not work that way.
- ClumsyPilot 7y agoYou do know that most rules must be agreed unanimously, and every country has a veto? Additionally, the borders aren't even managed by EU. There is shengen travel area, where countries agreed to remove internal borders and come up with one set of rules for external borders. This is entirely separate, and UK for example did not sign up to it.
