"I voted in favour of this report because the purpose of this decision of the European Parliament and the Council is to create legal certainty with regard to the list of travel documents. This decision should also present added value, namely, by providing security to border guards who are entitled to check travel documents at external borders. Otherwise, the objective of the draft proposal would be completely undermined. Therefore, the list of travel documents should be legally binding. I agree with the rapporteur’s opinion that the proposed wording would respect the competence of the Member States to recognise the travel documents but would, at the same time, ensure legal certainty after the given period, which could indeed be longer than proposed by the Commission. Furthermore, I agree that an online database containing specimens of all travel documents should be established in the long term to facilitate the examination of a given travel document by border control authorities and consular staff. It is important to underline that the purpose of the list of travel documents is twofold: This means that it allows border control authorities to verify whether a given travel document is recognised for the purpose of crossing the external borders, or it allows consular staff to verify whether Member States recognise a given travel document for the purpose of affixing the visa sticker."@en1
