".
The Socialist group supported the above report when voted in LIBE committee on the 25th October 2004. The report, as voted in Committee, included the obligatory insertion of a digital photograph whilst leaving the option of a second biometric (a digital fingerprint) up to the Member States.
The PES position was carried in committee, a position which afforded necessary data protection and civil liberties protections (see amendments 5,7,8,9,10,11,12). Furthermore, the Socialist group supports the protections in article 2 and article 4 paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of the Council position of 23rd November.
At the Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting end November 2004, it was decided that two biometrics would be obligatory (digital photo and fingerprint). The Council expressed its desire to take a final decision on this issue during its meeting of 3rd December 2004. The Council insists that the report be adopted by the EP during its December I plenary.
The PES group sees no gain for the European Parliament in challenging the Council to reconsult the Parliament on this report which falls under the consultation procedure. The PES group urges the Council to recognise the Parliament's good faith shown in respecting the Council's desired timetable on this report."@en1
