"The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs has prepared another proposal in the context of the Hague Programme. Its objective is to simplify visa policy by creating a Community Code on Visas, in order to facilitate the process of visa application, as well as the extension, annulment, revocation and shortening of visas issued. The Code will unify and specify the principles for issuance of visas, as well as their type and period of validity. In addition, the documents necessary in order to obtain an appropriate visa will be specified.
As a result of the harmonisation of European Union visa law, legislation which has often hindered the process of obtaining a visa will be repealed. The Community Code on Visas will facilitate the movement not only of EU citizens, but above all of citizens of countries from outside the EU. This will facilitate movement of citizens and also of workers between countries both within and without the Community.
In connection with the above change, special attention should be given to the ongoing training of Customs Officers, and especially those who work on the borders of the European Union.
EU visa policy should reflect the fundamental priorities of its foreign policy. I think that the creation of a Community Code on Visas is a good idea, and that it will serve to harmonise the legislation of Member States."@en1
