New Eurosmart Position Paper

EUROSMART Working Group on electronic identity issued a new Position Paper entitled "Third-country nationals and digital identity management in the EU".

This document reflects EUROSMART members' analysis of the situation and their position in favour of international standardisation and harmonisation of workflow and technologies in order to achieve the right level of interoperability for electronic identity controls, an equivalent level of security at all borders and a common user interface for citizenship identification and access to electronic services for third-country nationals & immigrants. The main objectives of the controls are: legal/illegal immigrants and legal/illegal workers; "overstayers" in the EU who have an economic impact; and persons on the wanted list with criminal potential.
