      The European Union’s ICT agency for internal security and border control, eu-LISA, has signed a framework contract for a new biometric matching system which aims to create a database of fingerprints and facial images of more than 400 million third-country nationals by 2022.

      As part of the four-year deal, technology providers IDEMIA and Sopra Steria will be involved in helping to build a new shared biometric matching system (sBMS), with the objective of fighting illegal immigration and trans-border crime across the 26 European countries in the passport-free Schengen area, eventually becoming one of the largest biometric systems in the world.

        Si j'ai bien compris (pour faire une sorte de résumé en français de l'article), l'Union européenne, à travers l'ICT (l'agence des technologies de l'information et de la communication) a signé un contrat avec 2 entreprises :

        • Idémia (entreprise qui met en œuvre le projet PARAFE, c'est à dire la reconnaissance faciale dans plusieurs gares et aéroports de France) + fait partie du projet Smart Border Initiatives

        • Sopra Steria

        Tout ça pour faire, d'ici à 2022, va être mis au point un fichier biométrique constitué des empreintes et de la photo de plus de 400 millions de personnes venant de pays tiers. Tout cela pour "combattre l'immigration illégales et les crimes transfrontaliers dans l'espace Schengen".
