". The Charter of Fundamental Rights states that every citizen of the Union shall, in the territory of a third country in which the Member State of which he or she is a national is not represented, be entitled to protection by the diplomatic or consular authorities of any Member State, on the same conditions as the nationals of that Member State. Clearly we agree as regards this mechanism which makes it possible for EU citizens to receive assistance. However, what the rapporteur is proposing is an amendment in the direction of centralisation of that assistance in the EU institutions, proposing the substitution of Member State coordination of contingency plans in crisis situations by the Union delegations and by the European External Action Service: ‘The Union delegation shall coordinate the exchange of information about available evacuation capacities in a timely manner, coordinate the evacuation itself and provide the necessary assistance for evacuation, with possible support from existing intervention teams at Union level.’ We do not agree with this transfer of competence replacing the coordination processes between sovereign states with ‘federalisation’ and we fear that intervention by the EEAS will constitute yet another possibility for political interference in the countries in question. On the other hand, it is necessary to ensure that Portuguese consular services and embassies do not close as a result of the setting up of these assistance services."@en1
