Declarație comună a Parlamentului European și a Consiliului privind necesitatea sporirii securității pașapoartelor și a documentelor de călătorie prin utilizarea unor documente de origine sigure
Joint Statement by the European Parliament and the Council concerning the need to increase the security of passports and travel documents by using secure breeder documents
Fără a aduce atingere competențelor statelor membre privind emiterea de pașapoarte și alte documente de călătorie, Parlamentul European și Consiliul subliniază că obiectivul de a consolida securitatea pașapoartelor poate fi subminat în cazul în care se emit pașapoarte pe baza unor „documente de origine” care nu sunt fiabile.
Without prejudice to the competence of the Member States to issue passports and other travel documents, the European Parliament and the Council underline that the objective of enhancing the security of passports may be undermined if passports are issued on the basis of unreliable "breeder documents".
Pașaportul în sine reprezintă numai unul din elementele lanțului de securitate care începe cu prezentarea documentelor de origine, continuă cu înregistrarea datelor biometrice și se încheie cu compararea la punctele de control la frontieră.
The passport in itself is only one link of a security chain starting from the presentation of the breeder documents, to the enrolment of biometric data and ending with the matching at the border check points.
Siguranța acestui lanț nu poate fi mai mare decât siguranța verigii sale celei mai slabe.
This chain will only be as secure as its weakest link.
Parlamentul European și Consiliul constată că în statele membre se înregistrează o mare diversitate de situații și proceduri în ceea ce privește „documentele de origine” ce trebuie prezentate pentru solicitarea eliberării unui pașaport și că, în mod normal, aceste documente posedă mai puține elemente de securitate decât pașaportul în sine și prezintă un risc mai ridicat de a face obiectul falsificării și contrafacerii.
The European Parliament and the Council note that there is a great diversity of situations and procedures in the Member States regarding which "breeder documents" should be produced in order to request the issuing of a passport and that normally these documents have less security features than the passport in itself, and are more likely to be subjected to forgery and counterfeiting.
Prin urmare, Consiliul pregătește un chestionar pentru statele membre pentru a putea compara procedurile și documentele necesare în fiecare stat membru pentru emiterea unui pașaport sau a unui document de călătorie.
The Council shall therefore prepare a questionnaire for the Member States in order to be able to compare the procedures and which documents are required in each Member State in order to issue a passport or travel document.
Această analiză ar trebui să evalueze necesitatea eventuală de a elabora principii sau orientări comune privind cele mai bune practici în acest domeniu.
This analysis should assess the possible need for the creation of common principles or guidelines on best practice in this area.
Declarație comună a Parlamentului European și a Consiliului cu privire la studiul menționat la articolul 5a
Joint Statement by the European Parliament and the Council concerning the study referred to in Article 5a
Parlamentul European și Consiliul observă că un singur studiu va fi realizat de către Comisie, în sensul articolului 5a din prezentul regulament și al articolului 2 din [proiectul de] regulament de modificare a instrucțiunilor consulare comune.
The European Parliament and the Council note that the Commission will carry out one single study for the purpose of Article 5a of this Regulation and Article 2 of the [draft] Regulation amending the Common Consular Instructions.

This harmonisation was designed to enable passports to be made more secure and establish a more reliable link between the document and the genuine holder, thereby making it possible to combat the falsification of documents and make the fight against crime, terrorism and clandestine immigration more effective.

Nevertheless, during pilot projects carried out in some Member States it was found that the fingerprints of children under the age of six were not of sufficient quality for one-to-one verification of identity.

Harmonisation is vital in this area, and bearing in mind that in the rapporteur’s country - Portugal - all children starting primary school from the age of six must be in possession of an identity card that includes fingerprints, the rapporteur does not have any great difficulty in accepting this age limit in principle.

Parliament’s position has been to accept the minimum age of 12 years for children to provide fingerprints, for purposes of identification (stored in a European database), this age limit being subject to a three-year revision clause.

The European Data Protection Supervisor pointed out in his opinion that if these biometric data are used exclusively for verification purposes (one-to-one comparison), the risk of error is far smaller and the age limit can be lower.

Given that at present we have only the results of certain pilot projects carried out in some of the Member States (which confirm that it is possible to use children's fingerprints for verification purposes from the age of six), we can only take a provisional decision until this independent study has been completed, providing us with the necessary data to take a decision on a firmer basis.

Introducing the principle ‘One person - one passport’
Introdu cing the principle ‘One person - one passport’
The rapporteur supports this proposal by the Commission aimed at implementing the recommendation made by the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation), which the majority of Member States already apply, making it possible to put an end to the remaining situations where a passport may be issued that includes the holder’s children, indicating their names but containing biometric data only for the parent and holder of the passport.

The fact that children from this age would have their own travel document with the corresponding biometric data doubtless provides additional protection in the fight against child trafficking (as is also acknowledged by the European Data Supervisor in his opinion).

Your rapporteur does not wish to call the current legislation into question, in particular the Borders Code provisions designed to protect minors, which oblige border guards to pay particular attention to minors, whether travelling accompanied or unaccompanied, and states that minors must be subject to the same checks as adults when crossing external borders.

In the case of accompanied minors, given that the border guard must check that the persons accompanying minors have parental care over them, it would be a great help to the task of the border guard if minors had a passport containing their personal data and an indication of the name of the person or persons, normally the parents, who have parental responsibility for them.

Need for a high level of confidence in the process of collecting biometric data
Ne ed for a high level of confidence in the process of collecting biometric data
If passports and travel documents are to be secure, it is vital that there should be a high level of confidence in the process of collecting the biometric data that are to be inserted in those documents, and it would be desirable to have common minimum standards for collecting these data so as to guarantee their security and reliability.

The processing of biometric data involves genuine risks for the people whose data are being collected since, in the event of incorrect collection, their data could be mislaid or used for purposes other than those for which they were collected.
