Facts

What happened

Ligue des droits humains ASBL filed a request for a preliminary ruling before the Court of Justice of the European Union, challenging the definition of “security risk” in Article 3(1)(6) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 (ETIAS) on the grounds that it may infringe the rights of individuals seeking travel authorisation and their data‑protection rights.
