Training on fundamental rights and biometrics

On 11 and 12 March, FRA provided training on fundamental rights in connection with the use of biometrics. The training took place during an event organised by Frontex on vulnerabilities in automated border crossings at Milan airport.

Representatives of EU Member States and Schengen associated countries attended the meeting. 

The training included practical testing sessions of the automatic border crossing gates and self-service systems. 

Such systems have been set up in preparation of the coming into operation of the Entry Exit System in 2025, as part of the digitalisation of the EU’s external borders.
