lpv:translated text	". Adoption of the draft directive on consular protection and its subsequent implementation could be a sign of the continued existence of solidarity between EU countries that can be mobilised. This directive strengthens the protection of our citizens in situations where they feel most vulnerable. Belonging to the European Union gives them that extra chance at the most difficult of times. This is because the directive now approved means Member States which are represented in a given region, regardless of where that might be in the world, are obliged to give any EU citizens without foreign representation the same assistance as they give their own citizens, in the event of lost documents, arrest, accident or illness. This assistance must also be provided in cases where it is extremely difficult for citizens to reach their own consular representation (where travel would take more than one day). I think this represents significant progress in protecting the interests of Hungarian citizens in situations where they are most in need of help anywhere in the world outside the European Union if, because of an accident, attack, natural disaster or even the loss of documents, they find themselves isolated and unable to travel home. We also have an interest in the part of the directive that increases the role of the European External Action Service and EU foreign representation along with the coordination of consular protection, thinking here of the case of Előd Tóásó, who is currently languishing in prison in Bolivia. This is an important gesture from Parliament, the Council and the Commission to its own citizens."@en1
