Recital 20
(20) Biometric identifiers should be collected and stored in the storage medium of identity cards and residence documents for the purposes of verifying the authenticity of the document and the identity of the holder. Given the electronic signature on the storage medium of identity cards, identifying the holder by means of the storage medium, which contains the same biographic data as printed on the document, is more reliable than a visual check of the document. Union citizens should thus be allowed to use the data stored in the storage medium of their identity card to identify themselves towards private entities. However, the verification of the fingerprints stored on the storage medium should only be carried out by duly authorised staff and only when the document is required to be produced by lawSuch a verification should only be carried out by duly authorised staff and only when the document is required to be produced by law. Moreover, biometric data stored for the purpose of the personalisation of identity cards or residence documents should be kept in a highly secure manner and only until the date of collection of the document and, in any case, no longer than 90 days from the date of issue of the document. After that period, those biometric data should be immediately erased or destroyed. This should be without prejudice to any other processing of those data in accordance with Union and national law regarding data protection.

Recital 2
Recital 2
(2) Labour shortages have many different root causes, such as lack of investment in skills, unattractive jobs, low wages, poor working conditions, cuts in paid apprenticeships as well as cost- cutting strategies. Addressing labour shortages requires a comprehensive approach at Union and national level which includes, as a priority, better realising the full potential of groups or gender with lower labour market participation, reskilling and upskilling the existing workforce during working time and paid for by the employers concerned, facilitating intra-EU labour mobility, as well as improving pay and working conditions and the attractiveness of certain occupations. Due to the current scale of the, including work organisation as well as health and safety in the workplace, the attractiveness of certain occupations, career development and retention strategies. Identifying labour market shortages and the demographic trends, measures targeting the domestic and Union workforce alone are likely to be insufficient to address existing and future labour and skills shortages. Therefore, legal migration is key to complementt Union, national, sectoral level should be done in a transparent way that includes consultation with the social partners at all levels and that takes into consideration the drivers and the root causes. Labour recruitment from third countries can address some of thoese actions and must be part of the solution to fully support the twin transitionroot causes, but it is not a solution to all root causes.

(3) In order to facilitate international recruitment and provide opportunities for third-country nationals to work in EU-wide shortage occupations, as well as to ensure the fair recruitment and protection of migrant workers in line with international human rights and labour standards, an EU Talent Pool should be established in the form of a Union-wide platform that brings together and supports the matching of profiles of registered jobseekers from third countries residing outside the Union and job vacancies of employers established in the participating Member States.

In order to prevent, avoid and combat abuse and circumvention of the applicable rules by employers and undertakings taking improper or fraudulent advantage of existing rules, the determination whether an undertaking genuinely performs substantial activities, other than purely internal management and/or administrative activities (so-called “letter box companies”) should be done in line with Article 4 point 2 of Directive 2014/67/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the enforcement of Directive 96/71/EC concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services.

Recital 23
Recital 23
(23) The International Labour Organisation (ILO) in its ‘General principles and operational guidelines for fair recruitment’ sets out a number of standards on adequate protection of jobseekers from third countries against unfair recruitment. Employers should comply with applicable Union law and practice. Equal treatment of jobseekers from third countries with respect to nationals of the participating Member States should also be ensured by the employers in accordance with Directive 2011/9813 , Directive 2014/36/EU14 , Directive 2021/1883/EU15 , and Directive 2016/801/EU16 . In accordance with Directive 2019/1152/EU17 , employers participating in the EU Talent Pool should provide to registered jobseekers from third countries information in writing and in an understandable language on their rights and obligations resulting from the employment relationship at the start of the employment. This information should at least include the applicable collective agreement, habitual place and the type of work, the duration of employment, the probation period, if such exists, the remuneration, the working hours, the amount of any paid leave and, where applicable other relevant working conditionsand employment conditions, such as training entitlements. There should be no direct or indirect costs or fees for jobseekers from third countries related to their participation in the EU Talent Pool or their recruitment. An employer should neither charge any recruitment fee or cost of travel, work equipment and accommodation nor prohibit a worker from taking up employment with other employers, outside the work schedule established with that employer, nor subject a worker to adverse treatment for doing so. Employers participating in the EU Talent Pool should comply with Directive 96/71/EC18 as amended by Directive 2018/957 when posting workers in the framework of the provision of services, in particular with regard to the terms and conditions of employment thereby established such as the obligation that third country workers can only be posted for a limited period to a Member State if they are legally and habitually employed in another Member State. To prevent non- genuine postings, the EU Talent Pool must not be used to facilitate recruitments where workers are hired for the sole purpose of being posted. This requires that employers comply with Directive 2014/67 regarding the genuine nature of the posting in order to prevent abuse and circumvention.

(25) The EU Talent Pool platform should meet established needs onf the labour market and should not serve as a means to displace or negatively affect the existing workforce or otherwise undermine decent work or fair competition or lead to brain drain in the partnering third country. To better support Member States’ efforts in addressing existing and future labour shortages, the EU Talent Pool should target specific occupations at all skills levels, based on the most common shortage occupations in the Union and on the occupations with a direct contribution to the green and digital transitions, set out in the Annex to this Regulation. In order to adapt the job vacancies to the specific needs of the national labour markets and taking as a starting point the list of EU- wide shortage occupations set out in the Annex, participating Member States shall be allowed to notify to the EU Talent Pool Secretariat the addition or removal of specific shortage occupations. Such notifications should only impact the matches for job vacancies submitted by the respective Member State. Neither the list of EU-wide shortage occupations nor the Member States’ notifications should affect the principle of preference for Union citizens. Therefore, the EU Talent Pool should be used for job vacancies and recruitment only if a job vacancy cannot be filled through recruitment in the Union by means of national employment services and the EURES portal.
