Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 81 a (new)
(81 a) FADO is specifically created for the purpose of hosting specimen documents and examples of falsified documents that include descriptions of methods of falsification and forgery provided by Member States, and might also host such documents originating from third countries, territorial entities, international organisations and other entities subject to international law. As a direct consequence of that purpose, it should be possible to store personal data in the form of facial images in FADO in so far as the security features of a document cannot be separated from those facial images, or where a false, forged, counterfeit or pseudo document imitates security features that cannot be separated from a facial image. No alphanumeric personal data should be stored in FADO. The European Border and Coast Guard Agency established by Regulation (EU) 2019/... of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘the Agency’) should take the necessary steps to anonymise all elements of personal data which is not necessary in relation to the purposes for which the data is processed in accordance with the principle of data minimisation, provided for in point (c) of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. It should not be possible to retrieve or search any elements of personal data in FADO.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 81 c (new)
(81 c) While Member States can maintain or develop their national systems containing information on genuine and false documents, they should be obliged to provide the Agency with information on genuine travel, identity, residence and civil status documents, driving licenses and vehicle licenses which they issue, and falsified versions of such documents in their possession.

Amendment 47 #
(81 d) In order to ensure a high level of control of document fraud by Member States, the Member States’ authorities competent in the area of document fraud such as border police, other law enforcement authorities or certain other third parties should be provided with differing levels of access to FADO, depending on their requirements. As the conditions and measures for granting such access are non-essential elements supplementing this Regulation, they should be laid down by means of delegated acts. Equally, FADO should enable certain users to have at their disposal information on any new forgery methods that are detected and on new genuine documents that are in circulation.

(101 a)In order to ensure the effective implementation of the FADO system, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the establishment of measures granting access to FADO to Member States’ authorities competent in the area of document fraud, and the establishment of measures granting restricted access to FADO to third parties such as airlines, Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies, third countries or international organisations.

In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council should receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and that their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. _________________ 1a OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p.1
