"The consular and diplomatic services of all Member States should protect all European citizens seeking help abroad, affording them the same protection as they would give to a fellow national. Any European citizen in difficulties abroad, for example after an accident, a rape or a robbery, or having been arrested in a crisis situation, can freely seek assistance from an embassy or consulate of any other EU Member State or, if necessary, from the Union delegation, where their country is unrepresented. The Union delegations in non-EU countries (managed by the European External Action Service) should coordinate the Member States to ensure that citizens who are unrepresented by their own country can receive full assistance during an emergency. Many EU citizens were caught up in crises last year, for example in Libya, Egypt and Bahrain, during the democratic uprisings in the spring of 2011, and in Japan after the earthquake in March 2011. Consular protection is often essential even in day-to-day situations, for example where people fall seriously ill or are the victims of crime. ‘More Europe’ could mean more help for EU citizens in need."@en1
