Meanwhile from 2022 onwards all entry to the EU from non-eu citizens will require Fingerprints and Facial scans to be saved [0].
One rule for us, one for the rest, it seems.
(For the record, I am absolutely against this, having recently lost my EU citizenship).

- schleck8 5y agoIt's good meassure to prevent abuse of immigration opportunities. It's not possible for everything to be ideal, this is an acceptable compromise for most.
- cyberpunk 5y agoI'm curious why I've been down voted here -- I'm an EU resident, legally, and I am also Scottish -- so my EU citizenship that I was born with, was taken from me by the members of a country I consider rather different to myown, but who unfortunately rule over us due to pure numbers.. But I don't think I said anything offensive or false.. Fuck brexit, but also fuck fingerprinting foreigners (of whom I am now one apparently)...
- Kbelicius 5y agoIt isn't one rule for us, one for the rest. As a EU citizen my fingerprints and facial scans have already been saved and I didn't have to travel anywhere. Do you not have any form of ID in Scotland? If you do, does it not contain your picture and were you not required to give a fingerprint when you first requested it?
- cyberpunk 5y agoOh super late reply, but yes my photo is on my passport, no I didn't have to give fingerprints and I live in Germany, which has a rather tight view on such surveillance given their history.. I would refuse to give fingerprints, if asked, unless compelled to by a court. Same for my children.
