These two texts have too little in common to compare paragraph by paragraph: they are different documents rather than versions of one (for example one group’s motion and the joint text that was adopted).

Changes to the text itself, in document order. Cover page, citations and punctuation-only edits are left out; they are under “Every difference”.

Removed:Regulation (EU) 2019/1157 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 started to apply on 2 August 2021. It established common minimum standards for the security features and the format of documents included in its scope and was part of the Action Plan of December 2016 to strengthen the European response to travel document fraud as an enabler of terrorism and organised crime (COM(2016)790).

Added:Änderungsantrag 1

Removed:The European Parliament in its 2018 position emphasised the importance of improved security standards of such documents not only in the fight against document fraud and identity theft, but also to facilitate the exercise of the right to free movement within the EU. Special importance was given to the introduction of the highest possible standards on data protection and data security, especially with regard to biometric data, as well as the protection of minors. The Parliament also insisted on the inclusion of an EU flag on all identity cards and residency documents as a visible symbol of the ‘EU citizenship’ in addition to the citizens’ national identity, providing them with further protection and rights.
