The presidency suggests accepting the bans on untargeted scraping of facial images, emotion recognition in the workplace and educational institutions, biometric categorisation to infer sensitive data like sexual orientation and religious beliefs, and predictive policing for individuals.

Moreover, ‘in the spirit of compromise’, the presidency proposes putting the EU Parliament’s prohibitions that were not accepted in the list of high-risk use cases, namely all other biometric categorisation and emotion recognition applications.

Regarding remote biometric identification, the parliamentarians agreed to drop the total ban on real-time use in exchange for limiting its exceptional usage and including more safeguards.

The presidency also wants law enforcement to be able to use emotion recognition and biometric categorisation software without informing the subjects.
