This agreement between the European Community and Moldova on the facilitation of issuance of short-stay visas is to be signed in parallel with the readmission agreement as these are ‘mutually conditional’, just the same as with the agreements with Russia and Ukraine.
Despite the agreement introducing strict procedural deadlines, setting preferential visa fees, including a full visa fee waiver for certain ‘categories of persons’ (?) (such as members of official delegations, business people, journalists, participants in scientific, cultural and sporting events, students, participants in exchange programs, close relatives, representatives of civil society, persons visiting for medical reasons) and providing for a simplified procedure in a number of cases, this is less than what has been demanded and what is required by thousands of Moldovan citizens. There is a need for the effective implementation of measures aimed at facilitating issuance of visas to broader sections of Moldovan society, or even a non-discriminatory visa exemption regime such as Moldova provides for citizens of the various EU countries.
Furthermore, these agreements fall within the Community policies on immigration and the ‘Schengen area’ which includes instruments on the retention of biometric data.
We therefore voted accordingly."@en1
