Visas: third countries whose nationals are subject to or exempt from a visa requirement

The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs adopted the report drafted by Tanja FAJON (S&D, SI) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 listing the third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders of Member States and those whose nationals are exempt from that requirement.

It recommended that the European Parliament adopts its position at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure (former co-decision procedure) taking over the Commission proposal.
