I voted in favour of the report by Mr Coelho () on EU citizens’ passports. The present proposal aims to render passports more secure by introducing legally binding harmonised security features for EU citizens' passports and by introducing biometric identifiers into the passport. The introduction of biometric identifiers will make it substantially more difficult to forge passports, because they will ensure that a person presenting a passport is in fact the one to whom it was originally issued. The use of biometrics is a tricky question from the point of view of data protection. Necessary safeguards must be put in place, in order to ensure full compliance with the data protection directive. Personal data must, indeed, be appropriate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the aims for which it is gathered and for which it is subsequently to be used. Nevertheless, we feel that the report strikes the right balance between the security that must be guaranteed and the freedom that we must all enjoy."@en1
