Third countries whose nationals are subject to or exempt from a visa requirement: Moldova

The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs adopted the report 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 and those whose nationals are exempt from that requirement.

Following the positive outcomes of the Visa Dialogue, and keeping in mind that Moldova abolished visa obligations for all EU citizens in 2007, the committee recommended the European Parliament to adopt its position at first reading taking over the Commission proposal.
