"I voted in favour of the proposal on consular protection for citizens of the Union abroad. The large-scale crises of recent years, following the uprisings in Libya and Egypt and the earthquake in Japan, have affected about 150 000 EU citizens and highlighted the importance of consular protection in third countries. It is important that every citizen of the EU is, in the territory of a third country in which the Member State of which he is a national is not represented, entitled to protection by the diplomatic and consular authorities of any Member State. I agree with the proposals for the development of a clear Member State cooperation and support coordination system as well as for the establishment of common consular protection terms. I agree that the Member States should consider establishing a trust fund for consular protection, from which the embassy or consulate of the assisting Member State could advance its expenses for assisting an unrepresented citizen and into which the Member States of the assisted unrepresented citizen should reimburse the financial advance."@en1
