Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2017 establishing an Entry/Exit System (EES) to register entry and exit data and refusal of entry data of third-country nationals crossing the external borders of the Member States and determining the conditions for access to the EES for law enforcement purposes, and amending the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement and Regulations (EC) No 767/2008 and (EU) No 1077/2011 · European Union

(26) Comparisons of data on the basis of a dactyloscopic trace which may be found at a crime scene (‘latent fingerprint’) are fundamental in the field of police cooperation. The possibility to compare a latent fingerprint with the fingerprint data which are stored in the EES in cases where there are reasonable grounds for believing that the perpetrator or victim might be registered in the EES is necessary for the designated authorities of the Member States to prevent, detect or investigate terrorist offences or other serious criminal offences, where, for example, the only evidence at a crime scene consists of latent fingerprints.
