Question for written answer E-001351/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Marieke Ehlers (PfE)
Under Article 25a of the Visa Code, the Commission has to assess the level of cooperation by third countries with regard to the readmission of their nationals. Where countries fail to comply with this obligation, visa-free travel can be suspended. In December 2024 the Council decided to invoke the visa suspension mechanism for Vanuatu, thereby suspending visa-free travel from that country.
- 1.Has the Commission identified other countries that have a poor track record when it comes to cooperation on readmission and, if so, which countries?
- 2.Will the Commission recommend that the visa suspension mechanism be invoked for these countries? If not, why not?
