"I voted for the new amendments to this regulation given that hitherto, third-country nationals holding long-stay visas have encountered problems with the restriction on free movement. They have been unable to travel freely from one European Union Member State to another and even had difficulties returning to their native country. This regulation extends the principle of equivalence between residences permits and short-stay visas issued by the Member States fully implementing the Schengen acquis to long-stay visas. It must be underlined that a long-stay visa should have the same effects as a residence permit as regards free movement in the Schengen area without internal borders. I would like to draw attention to the fact that it is very important that once the movement of third-country nationals in the Schengen area has been simplified, security guarantees in the Member States are not infringed. The implementation of this regulation should not reduce security, since it provides for the duty of states to check a person’s data in the Schengen Information System before issuing a long-stay visa and, if necessary, asking other EU Member States about that person. Hitherto, this was only done when issuing residence permits."@en1
