The European Commission recently proposed a new term to include digital images of all the EU citizens’ fingerprints on identity cards. They are planning to eliminate the paper-based documents that are easy to forge by intruders and criminals.

A large number of people enter into the European countries by using falsified documents. The Commission wants to impose this technology to find out which criminals are using fraudulent documents and create chaos in the countries of EU.
