Fundamental rights training on the use of biometrics in airports

On 3 December, FRA provided training on fundamental rights in connection with the use of biometrics. The training included practical testing sessions of the automatic border crossing self-service systems.

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

The training took place at Vienna airport during an event organised by Frontex on vulnerabilities in automated border crossings. 

Representatives of EU Member States, Frontex and the European Commission attended the meeting.
