#EURODAC
Je sors d’une audience à la CNIL où le Ministère de l’Intérieur ne veut pas que ça se sache que son système d’information EURODAC est une passoire en terme de sécurité. 😊

When we left the EU, we also.list access to the Eurodac fingerprint database which shows whether an asylum-seeker has previously applied in another country

2/ Dublin and Eurodac are technically severable from the rest of the pact, but the EU has only agreed to associate non-EU countries with Dublin and Eurodac if those countries also associated with Schengen (Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Liechtenstein).

This isn't a legal requirement, but it's policy

The starting point would be for UK governments being willing to compromise on CJEU and Commission oversight needed to gain access to EURODAC

"Migrants try to move from Germany and other European countries to Britain partly because of Brexit. After Britain left the eu in 2020, it lost access to the Eurodac fingerprint database that shows whether an asylum-seeker has previously applied in another country"

Oh my goodness

Before BREXIT there were effectively no documented small boat crossings. Numbers exploded after the loss of the Dublin III returns arrangement and Eurodac access: 1,843 in 2019 → 8,462 in 2020 → 28,526 in 2021 → 45,755 in 2022.
Why isn't his mentioned in every single interview about immigration.

Brexit means Britain cut itself off from the EU’s Eurodac asylum database — so it could not even check if a migrant already claimed asylum elsewhere. Sovereignty at the cost of security.

Les traitements autorisés pour l’État sont bien plus intrusifs que les traitements classiques. Les données collectées et traitées par EURODAC serait littéralement interdit à tout autre entité que l’État…

6/ Whether various other changes to Eurodac and Dublin in the asylum pact will change this remains to be seen. But the family reunion criteria remain in Dublin, so the UK would often have responsibilities for asylum-seekers on that basis again.

Press report: UK still not likely to get back access to Schengen Information System or Eurodac data lost due to Brexit - www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

So the credible route to control is cooperation. Seek to expand comprehensive cooperation deal
- a controlled route to the UK at scale
- returns deal for those who come outside of it
- joint patrols of Channel
- juxtaposed controls at Dover
- join Eurodac database
- keep ECHR to underpin this

#r4today reporting BBC’s investigation into people smuggler ‘King’. Justin Webb totally crestfallen when told by immigration specialist that Brexit binned the data sharing agreement we had with the EU. So, we can’t now properly check. We don’t have access to Eurodac - the fingerprint database. Ffs.

No Eurodac, means more civil service staff to investigate claims as they now take much longer; which means more accommodations, and need to be found for Asylum seekers. The list goes on, and still people don't see that this is what Johnson, Gove, Cummings and Farage asked for.

LibDem @maxwilkinson.bsky.social proposes a more recent reason. EU states monitor secondary applications through the Eurodac system (with fingerprinting) which will pick up if there is a failed application in another member state. UK is not part of this. Is that a new incentive to apply in the UK?
November 17, 2025 at 9:37 PM
I'm unpersuaded by case that Brexit causes the small boat flows after 2021 (because we leave Dublin agreement). It did not operate at scale, would have been unlikely to expand, and little evidence asylum seekers knew it was in place.

But being outside Eurodac is having an impact on 2nd claims now
March 30, 2026 at 7:18 AM
#Brexit Something rarely talked about. Why? Because the loss of access to SIS makes the UK much less safe

UK Gov wants to use Schengen Information System (SIS) and EU's fingerprinting system Eurodac again

This would be a game-changer in identifying asylum seekers whose claims should be rejected

Some thoughts on the LibDems suggestion that the UK sign up to the EU asylum pact - presented as a solution to the small boat crisis.

In practice it seems to suggest signing up to the Dublin responsibility rules and Eurodac (there's more to the pact) 1/

Restoring safety, order and fairness to our asylum system
We are calling for the UK to enter the EU's landmark new Migration and Asylum Pact to help implement an asylum system that is fair and effective for all.

But there's no 'new agreement' to get access to that back. Also the asylum info database (Eurodac) is separate; the UK doesn't have access to that either. Criminal records database (ECRIS) is separate too.

Behörden haben Infos zum Tatverdächtigen korrigiert. Einen Post habe ich gelöscht. Aktuell:
- 2016 nach D., zuvor Eurodac in ITA – kein Dublin, da unbegleiteter Minderj.
- 2017 Antrag abgelehnt, 2020 durch Gericht bestätigt, dann aber Aufenthaltserlaubnis
- bisher nicht strafrechtlich in Erscheinung

Eurodac is not a database for criminal records, though

EURODAC, the EU's database tool, is becoming a weapon of mass surveillance against asylum seekers. This means more racial profiling & violent deportations.

Civil society is calling on the EU to reject the EURODAC reform #StopEURODAC
