Press/Media: Expert Comment

Description

The concerns are "more than justified," confirmed Bianca-Ioana Marcu to ZDFheute. The lawyer is doing research on data protection and migration law at the Vrije University in Brussels . She criticizes the fact that the commission wants to reduce the minimum age from 14 to six years so that children can also be recorded.

"We are talking about biometric data here, which is very sensitive and intimate."
- Bianca-Ioana Marcu, lawyer at the University of Brussels
