"Firstly, I welcome the excellent quality of this report. In accordance with the Community legislation in place, nationals of third countries who hold a long-stay visa (a visa for a stay in excess of three months) are not authorised to travel to other Member States during their stay or to travel through other Member States when they return to their country of origin, since there is no provision for this in the Schengen Convention.
The new rules proposed mean that a long-stay visa will have the same effect as a residence permit in terms of free movement within the Schengen area, without internal borders, or that a person who holds a long-stay visa issued by a Member State will be authorised to travel to other Member States for three months within a period of six months, and under the same conditions as the holder of a residence permit.
For this system to work, there should be controls that are equivalent to those that are currently in place in other areas, so as to ensure good communication between Member States and coherence between the issuing of long-stay visas, residence permits and Schengen Information System alerts."@en1
