System EES (Entry/Exit System), który ruszy w 2025 roku, będzie rejestrował obywateli państw trzecich przekraczających zewnętrzne granice UE. Niniejsze wytyczne FRA mają wesprzeć kadrę zarządzającą odpowiedzialną za funkcjonowanie nowego systemu. Mają pomóc im zapewnić zgodność z unijną ochroną praw podstawowych. Przedstawiają kwestie operacyjne, takie jak jasna komunikacja, godne pobieranie danych biometrycznych oraz ochrona danych. Obejmują także potrzeby szkoleniowe personelu. Na podstawie badań terenowych przeprowadzonych w 10 przejściach granicznych w 6 państwach członkowskich, wytyczne te mają zagwarantować poszanowanie praw podstawowych w ramach nowego systemu. Oddzielna publikacja z wytycznymi dla funkcjonariuszy straży granicznej towarzyszy temu dokumentowi.
Facial recognition technology (FRT) makes it possible to compare digital facial images to determine whether they are of the same person. Comparing footage obtained from video cameras (CCTV) with images in databases is referred to as ‘live facial recognition technology’. Examples of national law enforcement authorities in the EU using such technology are sparse – but several are testing its potential. This paper therefore looks at the fundamental rights implications of relying on live FRT, focusing on its use for law enforcement and border-management purposes.
This Opinion by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) aims to inform the European Parliament’s position concerning the legislative proposal for a Regulation on strengthening the security of identity cards of European Union (EU) citizens and of residence documents issued to EU citizens and their family members exercising their right of free movement.

In November 2017, the European Commission requested FRA’s support in evaluating the impact on fundamental rights of the European Border Surveillance System (Eurosur) Regulation. Further to this request, FRA reviewed the work of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) and analysed cooperation agreements concluded by EU Member States with third countries which are relevant for the exchange of information for the purposes of Eurosur. This report presents the main findings of such review.
