lpv:translated text	". I voted for the resolution on consular protection for citizens of the Union abroad. The proposed directive is intended to replace the 1995 decision on consular protection for EU citizens by diplomatic and consular representations. Article 23 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union states that every citizen of the Union shall, in the territory of a third country in which the Member State of which he is a national is not represented, be entitled to protection by the diplomatic and consular authorities of any Member State, on the same conditions as the nationals of that State. This principle has also been established in Article 46 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The proposed directive covers not only everyday situations such as the loss of identity documents, arrest or imprisonment, but also covers situations where EU citizens might need assistance. I agree with the opinion that in cases of crisis situation, Union delegations should be in charge of coordinating and providing assistance regarding the preparation for and in case of crisis. In order not to put an unbearably heavy burden on the Lead State, or any Member State present in the area, it should be the Union delegation who deals with all the coordination of cooperation. In emergency situations it should also be responsible for coordinating the actions and plans and evacuation arrangements of the missions of the Member States. I agree with the speaker that this proposal is an excellent illustration of the fact that ‘more Europe’ does not mean more bureaucracy or more Brussels. ‘More Europe’ could also mean more help for EU citizens in need, and more protection for citizens who are not represented in third countries and who find themselves in precarious or crisis situations."@en1
