Scientific research: admission of third-country national researchers to the Community, uniform visas

The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Vincent PEILLON (PES, FR) broadly approving the proposal with a few amendments. (Please see the summary of 16/03/05).

A new recital states that the recommendation is also intended to provide a flexible formula for researchers who wish to maintain a professional link with an organisation of their country of origin (e.g. by spending periods of up to three months every semester in a European host research organisation located in the common area while continuing to work the rest of the time in the research organisation of origin).
