No. That is not what I wrote, nor is it what I implied.

I simply mean that the claim about fingerprints of 350 M EU citizens copied cannot be true.

The EU has been collecting fingerprints since 2004, they do have that data.

That link does not describe the EU collecting fingerprints it just reports that their is an EU requirement for passports to contain biometic data. The EU do not collect or store that data national governments do.

No. That link does not say so. Biometric passport data is collected by national goverments, not EU.
