Briefing - Revision of the visa code - 27-04-2018

Briefing - Revision of the visa code - 27-04-2018 27-04-2018 12:00 AM CEST This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's impact assessment (IA) accompanying the above proposal, submitted on 14 March 2018 and referred to Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE). EU visa policy aims to (1) facilitate legitimate travel, supporting tourism, trade and business, and (2) prevent irregular immigration and safeguard public order and security. The visa code, which stipulates the procedures and conditions for issuing visas for the purpose of short stays and airport transit, has proved useful because it clarified such conditions and improved the level of procedural rights. It has not been revised since its entry into force in 2010. Source : © European Union, 2018 - EP QUESTIONS?
