REPORT on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of 'Eurodac' for the comparison of fingerprints for the effective application of [Regulation (EU) No 604/2013 establishing the criteria and mechanisms for determining the Member State responsible for examining an application for international protection lodged in one of the Member States by a third-country national or a stateless person], for identifying an illegally staying third-country national or stateless person and on requests for the comparison with Eurodac data by Member States' law enforcement authorities and Europol for law enforcement purposes (recast)

Amendments (8)

Amendment 42 #
(4a) Moreover, for the purposes of effectively applying Regulation (EU) XXX/XXX [Regulation on Asylum and Migration Management] and in accordance with the rules thereof, it is necessary to clearly mark in Eurodac the fact that there has been a shift of responsibility between Member States, including in cases of relocation. Furthermore, in order to reflect accurately the obligations Member States have to conduct search and rescue operations and to help these Member States with the specific challenges they face as they cannot apply to persons disembarked following such operations the same tools as for irregularllegal crossings by land or air, it is also necessary to register third-country nationals or stateless persons disembarked following search and rescue operations as a separate category in Eurodac.

Amendment 47 #
(4bb) Even a proper functioning of Eurodac in the current circumstances is insufficient to control – mainly illegal – migration flows. Various articles in the press indicate that it is common practice for many asylum seekers to deliberately alter their fingerprints by, for example, burning their fingers or filing them down. In this way, fingerprints in data files are rendered useless. 1a __________________ 1a https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/ oct/07/dublin-regulation-european- asylum-seekers. https://www.trouw.nl/nieuws/meer-kans- op-asiel-vijl-je-vinger-wat-af~b812f87c

Amendment 48 #
(4bc) In addition to this deliberate mutilation, fingerprints also become less accurate due to the ageing process of the skin. The elasticity of the skin decreases, the edges become harder, the fingertip becomes thinner. The quality of the fingerprint therefore deteriorates. 1a __________________ 1a https://www.scientificamerican.com/articl e/lose-your-fingerprints/

Amendment 49 #
(4bd) Third country nationals and stateless persons, as well as their representatives and interest organisations, are obliged to act in accordance with the objectives of this requirement. In case of proof of fraud, fraudsters shall lose present and future substantive and procedural rights relating to asylum, migration, residence, family reunification and acquisition of nationality, without prejudice to the possible application of criminal law by the Member State concerned.

Amendment 59 #
(5c) Likewise, for the purpose of managing irregularllegal migration, it is necessary to allow eu-LISA to produce cross-system statistics using data from Eurodac, the Visa Information System, ETIAS and the Entry/Exit System. In order to specify the content of these cross-system statistics, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by the Member States of the Commission's exercise of implementing powers.’;

Amendment 66 #
(14) Moreover, in order for Eurodac to effectively assist with the control of irregularllegal migration and with the detection of secondary movements within the EU, it is necessary to allow the system to count applicants in addition to applications by linking all sets of data corresponding to one person, regardless of their category, in one sequence.’;
