The European Parliament (EP)
plans to consider a visa suspension mechanism in the first reading on January
18, 2017.
The official website of the EP
has announced a preliminary date for consideration of a European Union visa
suspension mechanism. It’s been scheduled for
January 18, 2017.
As reported, the Committee of
Permanent Representatives to the EU (Coreper) on behalf of the EU Council on
Thursday reached an agreement on a position in the talks on the liberalization
of visa regime for Ukraine. As noted in the issued EU communiqué, the Committee
confirmed the European Commission’s proposal to provide a visa free regime for
Ukrainian citizens when traveling to the EU for a period of stay up to 90 days
during the 180 day period.
In addition, the EU Council
believes that the liberalization of the visa free regime for Ukraine and the
new mechanism for the suspension of the EU visa free regime with third
countries should simultaneously come into effect. On the basis of this mandate,
the EU Council leadership will begin negotiations with the European Parliament.
