		</div><p>The European Union wants to collect fingerprints and information about all foreigners convicted of crimes in the 28-nation bloc to help fight terrorism and cross-border crime.</p>
<p>EU Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova said that “by including fingerprints of non-EU citizens we will have a strong tool to tackle the use of false identities”.</p>
<p>The data would be stored on the criminal records computer ECRIS, which gives judges and prosecutors access to suspects’ backgrounds.</p>
<p>Currently, information about convicted foreigners is kept only in national records. Authorities have to request it individually.</p>
<p>Convicted EU citizens are on the ECRIS database, but their fingerprints are not stored.</p>
<p>In future, nations could decide what offences to flag on the database, meaning people who enter irregularly or overstay visas could be listed.</p>
