".
I voted in favour of the report on consular protection for citizens of the Union abroad because according to the Lisbon Treaty the solidarity among Member States shall be sustained, therefore in everyday cases of consular protection, such as loss of identity documents, arrest, detention or death, an unrepresented citizen has the right to request the help of any diplomatic or consular authority of any Member State. It has been noticed that one of the major problems for European citizens is that they have not been aware of their right to obtain help from the consulates of another Member State when they are in a third country in which their own Member State is not represented. For this reason I believe that we should raise awareness, to reduce citizens’ lack of knowledge of their rights, but we should also clarify that they should continue to benefit from the full range of consular assistance customarily provided by Member States’ representations, and make clear that the role played by the authorities of represented Member States does not mean that unrepresented Member States are excluded from providing assistance."@en1
