Any processing of biometric data should be in line with the existing safeguards set out in Regulations (EU) 2016/794 and (EU) 2018/1725, and should be strictly necessary and proportionate to the objective pursued. Particular attention should be given to the establishment of appropriate quality standards applicable to the processing and storage of biometric data. These quality standards should be consistent with the relevant minimum quality standards laid down in Union law in respect of comparable biometric data processing to ensure an equivalent quality level, including the minimum quality standards established by the Commission pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2024/982 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
