    Unnecesary, you need a visa/permit to travel to the UK too. I don’t see the issue in filling a shitty form and providing ID pictures when the alternative is compromising the whole privacy of a country giving them unrestricted access to biometric data and more.

      Are you sure that you data is only transferred to the US if you’re travelling to the US? I wouldn’t be so sure…

    No, you have to understand, if you’re a company and, for reasons, you need to send 500 people to the US every month, it’s so tedious to apply for visa. Think of the economy u guise. /s

    If the price of visa free travel is giving a foreign government access to Europeans’ biometric data, then it’s a bad deal: The EU lectures the world about privacy and digital sovereignty, yet too often folds when Washington asks for another exception!
