Parliament Decision on U.S. Access to Biometric Data in Cyprus
October 22, 2024
The Cypriot Parliament will decide whether the United States will gain access to the Cypriot Police's biometric database to search for individuals posing a threat. This monitoring is part of an agreement for visa waiver for Cypriot citizens wishing to travel to the U.S. Access will be granted through secure online services rather than direct data access. The agreement aims to strengthen cooperation in combating serious crime.
