EURODAC data comparisons for law enforcement & Europol

This procedure concerns the rules for how national law enforcement agencies and Europol can request comparisons with data stored in the EURODAC database. It aims to strengthen security and judicial cooperation by allowing authorities to check if fingerprints of suspects match those of asylum seekers or irregular migrants.

This affects law enforcement authorities and Europol across the EU, as well as individuals whose biometric data is stored in the EURODAC system for migration purposes.
