"Firstly, I should like to thank Mr Coelho for the quality of his report and for the true expertise that he brings to all his work on visa policy. Adoption of this regulation is a necessity and a matter of urgency. It is a necessity because, due to an extremely contentious practice carried out by Member States, which no longer convert long-stay visas into residence permits, we have ended up with absurd situations in which any third-country national who is legally resident on EU territory by virtue of a D visa is prevented from travelling within the other Member States of the Schengen area. This practice creates unnecessary obstacles to movement within the Schengen area and runs counter to the very philosophy of the Schengen
. Adoption of this text is also urgent in view of the forthcoming entry into force of the Community Code on Visas, which abolishes D + C visas. As well as maintaining a high level of security within the Schengen area, thanks to the obligation to consult the Schengen Information System when processing D visa applications, this report provides a fair and balanced solution to situations that must no longer arise in the future."@en1
