I see that you wrote about the above [1]. What is the purpose of the
affidavits? I have read news about the National Identity Card and
listened to ministerial statements. At times, some of the news and
statements were contradictory. I received confirmation that the data
controller complied with its responsibilities in respect to the
deletion of the "fingerprint database". The only reason the
fingerprint for the fingerprint to be collected is because "the law says so".

The only advantage of the new National Identity Card is that there is
symbol printed on it for citizens who are eligible for a discount on
the bus fare. It is currently impossible for any entity providing a
service to use the features of the new card as the technical
specifications have been kept secret.
