Discover how the new online European Border and Coast Guard False and Authentic Document (EBCG FADO) system in combination with Frontex INTERPOL Electronic Library Document System (FIELDS), is a game changer for security and non-security documents relevant for travelling, identification, submitting applications to public services, or simply for agreements between private companies.
