Non-EU citizens travelling to and from the Schengen area will now have to pass through a new biometric Entry/Exit System (EES), which starts operations from Sunday. The new system removes the requirement to manually stamp passports and instead creates digital records that link a travel document to a person’s identity using biometrics.
Just to clarify, as an EU citizen, I have had to scan my fingerprints the last few times I got a new ID card
