"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, facilitating the free movement of persons within and outside European borders has always been one of the European Union’s priorities, as has continuing to strengthen and ensure a secure Europe. In 2009 Parliament adopted Mr Coelho’s report on biometric passports with these very goals in mind.
According to the ‘one person, one passport’ principle, children would also have the right to have their own passports without having to be included on their parents’ passports any longer. That has the potential to be a more secure system. However it looks as if the ‘one person, one passport’ principle is
unfeasible or, in any case, not safe for children under 12, as it has been found that the fingerprints of children under six are not of a sufficient quality to enable their identity to be established with certainty.
Since children are the category most at risk of disappearances, human trafficking or even sexual abuse, the question is: what tests has the Commission carried out over these years precisely to ensure adequate protection of children, particularly when travelling alone?"@en1
