Applicant: RL
Defendant: Landeshauptstadt Wiesbaden
Does the obligation to take fingerprints and store them in identity cards in accordance with Article 3(5) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1157 (1) infringe higher-ranking EU law, in particular
Article 77(3) TFEU,
Articles 7 and 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,
Article 35(10) of the General Data Protection Regulation, (2)
and is it therefore invalid on one of those grounds?
(1) Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on strengthening the security of identity cards of Union citizens and of residence documents issued to Union citizens and their family members exercising their right of free movement (OJ 2019 L 188, p. 67).
(2) Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) (OJ 2016 L 119, p. 1).
