I would strongly oppose the inclusion of DNA data on a microchip, I also strongly would oppose the EU giving information about all their citizens to any other government. However, I see nothing in the links that one of these two possibilities is considered seriously.

All passports I know do already contain biometric information. Instant scanning of this information can already be done and is done at many borders. The problem to discuss in my eyes is do we oppose that passports contain information that makes their use by someone else impossible as compared to difficult as it now is.
