"Mr President, concerns raised regarding the reliability and effectiveness of biometric passports in the European Union still persist, and we have not yet found a satisfactory solution, although passports have been used in various Member States for more than five years. The replacement of traditional paper passports with biometric documents, which have a built-in special chip containing biometric data unique to each individual, should have helped to ensure that passports were not counterfeited. The historic use of hundreds of thousands, some estimates say up to a million – this needs to be verified – biometric passports and the issue of such passports based on false or counterfeit documents, however, suggests that the minimum security standards for passports are not sufficient to ensure the authenticity of the document. Since this is a question closely related to internal security and order within the European Union, I support the introduction of stricter rules applying not only to passports themselves, but also to the general procedure for their issuance."@en1
