Info

EUDEL organised an ad hoc meeting in February 2014 with the national association of international carriers. The four MS consulates generals outside Minsk are fully informed about the LSC meetings via e- mail (receive meetings' agenda, minutes, questions by one MS to other MS, etc.). 3. State of play 3.1 Application of the Visa Code MS and EUDEL are used to work on the implementation of the Visa Code, and discussions in the meetings are professional and focussed. The tasks to be carried out in LSC under the Visa Code are well understood and taken seriously. EUDEL sent questions on the implementation of the Visa Code and the answers were collected in a table agreed by all. EUDEL has launched a review of the table, aiming at harmonising the practices as much as possible. 3.2 Assessment of the need to harmonise the lists of supporting documents The common list of supporting documents has been approved and is now a legally binding document for all the Member states. The EU Delegation has initiated a monitoring exercise on the implementation of the common list by the Member states and will report regularly to Local Schengen Cooperation Group and to the Commission. At this stage, there is no need to amend the list. 3.3 Exchange of information EUDEL gathers visa statistics from the MS on a monthly basis and circulates the aggregated table. LSC members use e-mailing when trying to investigate any questions concerning cooperation with certain travel agencies, cases of fraud or any other issues related to visas activity. In February 2014, EUDEL organised an ad hoc meeting with the national association of carriers, with whom there have been issues related to doubtful contracts or practices. 3.4 Any other initiative taken in LSC LSC members have decided to review their practices on the way and to whom multiple-entrance visas are issued, with an aim to harmonise. For such an objective, they have established a common table of the practices, and try to harmonise. EUDEL hosted 3 training session on fraud organised by the French Immigration Officer in June 2013, November 2013 and January 2014, for the consular staff in the Member states Embassies. 30 persons have been trained on fraudulent travel documents (passports, visas, etc.). 12893/14 PR/lm 25 DG D 1 A EN
4. Challenges 1. Response to challenges listed in previous report: Some work has been done on the facilitation of issuing more multiple-entry, long-term visa, and on the use of flexibility of the VC regarding visa fee waiver and visa fee reduction, with a comprehensive tables that includes all the practices by the LSC members, but it has not been possible to harmonise the practices yet. The same applies to the common criteria (art. 48(1)(b)) (visa fee waiver and translation of application form). On fraud issues, several training sessions have been organised with a MS Immigration officer. This has been highly appreciated by the LSC members. 2. Subjects to be addressed within the next reporting period (2014-2015): - 24(2): Facilitation of issuing multiple-entry, long-term visa - Maximal use of flexibility of the VC regarding visa fee waiver and visa fee reduction - Common criteria (art. 48(1)(b)) (visa fee waiver and translation of application form) - Implementation of the list of supporting documents (art. 14 and 48(1)a) - Harmonisation of the application of visa fee waiver (art. 16(5) and (6)) Approved by MS in Minsk via silence procedure 12893/14 PR/lm 26 DG D 1 A EN
