Recital 4
(4) For the purposes of applying Council Regulation (EC) No […/…] [establishing the criteria and mechanisms for determining the Member State responsible for examining an application for international protection lodged in one of the Member States by a third-country national or a stateless person], it is necessary to establish the identity of applicants for international protection and of persons apprehended in connection with the unlawfulauthorised crossing of the external borders of the Community. It is also desirable, in order effectively to apply the Council Regulation (EC) No […/…] [establishing the criteria and mechanisms for determining the Member State responsible for examining an application for international protection lodged in one of the Member States by a third-country national or a stateless person], and in particular points (b) and (d) of Article 18(1) thereof, to allow each Member State to check whether a third country national or stateless person found illegally present on its territory has applied for international protection in another Member State.

Recital 10
(10) Third In view of the fact that the possibility for third-country nationals or stateless persons who have requested international protection in one Member State may have the option of requesting international protection in another Member State for many years to come. Therefore, the maximum period during which fingerprint data should be kept by the Central System should be of considerable length. Given that most third country nationals or stateless persons who have stayed in the Community for several years will have obtained a settled status or even citizenship of a Member State after that periodto lodge another application for international protection in another Member State remains open for many years, a period of ten years should be considered a reasonable period for the conservation of fingerprint data.
