lpv:translated text	". Madam President, the current problems concerning the large number of falsified biometric passports are largely due to insufficient attention being paid to the whole process for issuing them. As is correctly stated in the European Parliament report compiled in 2008, it is not enough to guarantee a high level of passport security if the way in which the passports are obtained is not as secure. I believe that the key persistent problems derive from the reliability of the data collected, especially for children and the elderly, not to mention the host of breeder documents accepted as proof of identity for issuing passports, as well as their level of security. In other words, there is no point in producing secure passports if they are issued on the basis of false documents. To tackle these problems, the Commission must provide a clear assessment of the current shortcomings within the whole process of issuing passports. I believe that the most important aspect which needs to be taken into account concerns breeder documents. At the moment, there are dozens of different documents at EU level which can be used as the basis for issuing a passport, and many of these documents have dubious security levels, making them easy to counterfeit. This is why two steps need to be taken. First of all, the number of breeder documents that are accepted for issuing passports must be restricted; secondly, minimum security standards must be introduced for these breeder documents. On the same lines, one option worth considering is to harmonise the templates for national identity cards at EU level. This step is necessary because identity cards are used most frequently both as breeder documents and as travel documents within the EU. Lastly, I would also like to stress once again the need for the Commission to carry out an in-depth study on the security of the entire process for issuing biometric documents, since this will be particularly relevant to the future systems featuring as part of Smart Borders."@en1
