Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the Commission has dealt with this matter and gone into it thoroughly following a written question by Mr Wuermeling, who recently received a written reply.
The issue, as many of you will probably know, concerns the conformity of two reference circulars, one adopted in 2000 and the other in 2004, regarding the issue of visas and the circulars on specific subjects implementing the two reference circulars. The first circular, adopted on 3 March 2000 and known as the Völlmer circular, has been deemed by the Commission not to be in line with the principles of the Common Consular Instructions currently in force.
We then examined the subsequent circular, adopted in October 2004, which replaced the previous circular from 2000. The conclusion that we came to, after our first stage of thorough examination, is that the 2004 circular remedies the general issue of conformity with the Common Consular Instructions in force. We also said, however, to the German authorities in our reply, and also of course to Mr Wuermeling, that, even though overall the 2004 circular seems to be in line with the Common Consular Instructions, clarifications, specifications and improvements in drafting are necessary in the text of the circular in force, adopted in 2004.
We have also asked the authorities of the German Federal Government to provide some replies on the specifications required, and I can assure you that contact with the relevant authorities is continuing. Obviously, I intend to provide further replies as soon as the answers have been given to the Commission."@en1
