Abstract

La Unión Europea afronta la cuarta revolución industrial y el mercado único digital con la unificación del régimen jurídico sobre protección de datos personales pretendida por el Reglamento (UE) 2016/679 General de protección de datos. Esta unificación es más teórica que real, toda vez que aspectos formales del reglamento y los materiales del contenido del derecho fundamental a la protección de datos dificultan este proceso. La entrada en vigor del Reglamento en mayo de 2018 proporcionará el primer marco legal de referencia para la implementación en las empresas de una verdadera cultura de la privacidad, de la protección de datos personales y el cumplimiento normativo en la UE. Abstract The European Union faces the fourth industrial revolution and the digital single market with the unification of the legal status for personal data protection sought by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679. This legal unification is more theoretical than real, since formal aspects of the regulation and the content materials of the fundamental right to data protection make this process difficult. The entry into force of the GDPR in May 2018 provides the first legal reference framework for the implementation in companies of a true culture of privacy, and the protection of personal data and normative compliance in the EU.

Abstract

Complying with the European Union (EU) perspective on human rights goes or should go together with handling ethical, social and legal challenges arising due to the use of biometrics technology as border control technology. While there is no doubt that the biometrics technology at European borders is a valuable element of border control systems, these technologies lead to issues of fundamental rights and personal privacy, among others. This paper discusses various ethical, social and legal challenges arising due to the use of biometrics technology in border control. First, a set of specific challenges and values affected were identified and then, generic considerations related to mitigation of these issues within a framework is provided. The framework is expected to meet the emergent need for supplying interoperability among multiple information systems used for border control.
