EU member states’ ambassadors have agreed on a draft regulation that would let the EU suspend visa-free travel for countries whose citizens are exempt from visa obligations when traveling to the Schengen area.
Key Points:
Background: The draft regulation is aimed at tightening the rules for visits to Europe, strengthening the EU’s powers to better deal with situations where visa-free travel is being misused or works against the EU’s interests. The regulation would also increase the duration of temporary suspensions of visa exemptions from nine to 12 months and the extension period from 18 to 24 months.
The agreement allows the Council to enter into negotiations with the European Parliament, once it settles on its own position, to reach final agreement.
