  "text": "For the purpose of verification, it is recommended to assess the quality of fingerprints data by Member States at the time of capture prior to their transmission to the CS-EES either by using version 2.0 (or newer version) of the NIST Fingerprint Image Quality (NFIQ) metric or, where technically impossible, by using another metric which should preferably be correlated with the NFIQ version 2.0 (or newer version). The correlation shall be derived a priori. If a NFIQ version 2.0 (or newer version) quality metric is obtained, it has to be sent at the same time as the fingerprint data to the CS-EES.",
