". In the case of loss of identity documents, arrest, detention and other problems that may descend upon us while we are travelling outside the EU, consular support is essential. According to the provisions of the Treaty, EU citizens have the right to take advantage of diplomatic and consular protection from any other Member State in a third country where the Member State of which these persons are nationals does not have its own representation. This right is an important aspect of EU citizenship and, as it were, expands the scope of consular protection for Europeans throughout the world. It is increasingly common, however, for citizens to need assistance not only with routine problems, such as those concerning documents, but also in crises which constitute a major coordination challenge. It is therefore important to nominate a single unit responsible for coordination, which would, for example, ensure that all EU citizens, including those not represented, were covered by emergency and evacuation plans. The question of the funding of such protection is also of great significance in this context. It is therefore important that the report gives attention to this. The report has my full support, as it will lead to an increase in consular protection for EU citizens and the provision of more effective and more prompt assistance in third countries."@en1
