Six years after the date of application of this Regulation, and every subsequent six years, the Commission shall carry out an evaluation of this Regulation and present a report on the main findings to the European Parliament, to the Council and to the European Economic and Social Committee. The report shall in particular focus on:
the impact of this Regulation on fundamental rights;
the mobility of Union citizens;
the effectiveness of biometric verification in ensuring the security of travel documents;
