Fundamental rights training when using biometrics

FRA provided online training on fundamental rights in connection with the use of biometrics at a Frontex webinar on 4 February on Biometric Data Quality for Standing Corps Officers. The training included information about the importance of biometric data quality at automatic border crossing gates and self-service systems.

Such systems have been set up in preparation for the Entry/ Exit System (EES), which came progressively into operation on 12 October 2025, as part of the digitalisation of the EU’s external borders. 

FRA presented its guidance for border guards on the EES and fundamental rights, highlighting concerns in relation to data protection, child rights, and access to remedies.
