The Interpol European Expert Group on Fingerprint Identification (IEEGFI) was instigated in 1998 following a proposal accepted at the 26th European Regional Conference held in Slovakia in May 1997. The proposal to assess the feasibility of formulating a European Fingerprint Identification Standard was endorsed by the Interpol European Committee in November 1997, which set the basis for the work to be undertaken by the IEEGFI in the following statement: 'Bearing in mind the methods and procedures for identification of fingerprints in use by Interpol European member countries, the Interpol European Expert Group on Fingerprint Identification is asked to explore the feasibility of determining a common European method for fingerprint identification. This new method will include standard fingerprint identification procedures and an agreed number of minutiae and other characteristics.' The work of this group is being continued by the Interpol European Expert Group on Fingerprint Identification (II) - IEEGFI (II) , its report will be published in 2004. Until this report is published please take note of the initial report available on this site in English, French and Spanish.
