"The GUE/NGL Group welcomes all Agreements that promote bilateral travel arrangements between the EU and the Russian Federation. These facilitate the travelling of Russian citizens to the EU and vice versa. Moreover, such arrangements are considered to be an important step forward, aiming at establishing better communication ties and creating political dialogue on a cultural, economical and political level.
However the GUE/NGL Group is very much concerned about the EC-Russia Short-stay Visa Agreement because of its close political link to the EC-Russia readmission agreement, which seriously undermines the protection and rights of refugees and immigrants, as well as their fundamental rights. The GUE/NGL Group is also strongly opposed to Article 11 of the joint declaration to the agreement which defines "biometric identifiers" in diplomatic passports as a priority for ensuring a high level of document security.
GUE/NGL is also opposed to the fact that certain provisions of the Agreement apply exclusively to certain categories or groups of people. This is considered discriminatory and the GUE/NGL Group stresses that the facilitation procedure for access visas should apply and be guaranteed equally to all citizens of the EU Member States and citizens of the Russian Federation."@en1
