lpv:translated text	"The importance of this Memorandum of Understanding between the EU and China's National Tourism Administration, which will allow Chinese citizens to visit the EU as tourists, is that China is one of the world's main sources of tourists and is a market with great potential for expansion. The present situation, in which bilateral agreements on tourism are only in place between China and a few EU Member States, means that Chinese tourists can only travel to specific destinations in the EU. This restriction will be removed if this new agreement enters into force. It is extremely important for a readmission clause to be included in the agreement through the obligation on travel agencies responsible for dealing with visa applications to report to the visa-issuing Member State and to the Chinese authorities any tourist missing from the group or who has not returned to China. Those agencies will be required to work with the competent departments of both parties to help repatriate tourists who are illegal overstayers in the EU. I agree with the rapporteur when he says the unprecedented acceptance by the Chinese authorities of a readmission clause is to be welcomed and could open the way to the conclusion of a genuine readmission agreement with China."@en1
