"The harmonisation of security standards at European level for biometric passports is an extension of the provisions of the Schengen . The regulation stipulates a general obligation to provide fingerprints which will be stored on a contactless chip in the passport. I support the exceptions regarding children under the age of 12 providing fingerprints and I urge a review and harmonisation of the specific national laws. I feel that biometric passport data must be processed in accordance with Community legislation governing the protection of personal data and privacy. The Commission and Member States must take the necessary measures to guarantee this provision for processing biometric passport data, both at the border and during the process for maintaining the relevant databases, in the situation where national legislation contains this provision. However, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that limiting the validity of a biometric passport for people who are unable to provide fingerprints, temporarily or permanently, to 12 months or less will make life more difficult for people with disabilities. I would therefore ask the Commission to reassess the relevant text."@en1
