EURODAC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
EURODAC is a European Union automated fingerprint identification system for recording and comparing the fingerprints of asylum seekers and illegal immigrants. It is intended to enforce the Dublin Regulation, and is used in all EU member states as well as Iceland and Norway which are also covered by the Dublin Regulation. The fingerprints of asylum-seekers over the age of 14 have been routinely recorded on EURODAC since 2003.
