"In accordance with the Convention of 14 June 1985 implementing the Schengen agreement, a manual was drawn up listing the travel documents which entitled the holder to cross external borders and to which a visa might be affixed. These decisions, however, apply to the period of Schengen cooperation at the intergovernmental level, and they must be adapted to the current interinstitutional and legal framework of the EU. The list of travel documents has a dual purpose: on the one hand, it allows border guards to check whether a certain travel document is recognised for the purposes of crossing external borders and, on the other, it allows consular officials to check whether the Member States recognise a particular travel document for the purposes of affixing the visa sticker. In this context, it seems essential to have a measure ensuring that the list of travel documents is constantly updated, while at the same time ensuring that Member States have the fullest possible information available. In the interests of simplicity and effectiveness, Member States would be asked to give an opinion on the recognition or non-recognition of these documents. The proposal as such should therefore provide added value as a piece of EU legislation by providing certainty to border guards who have the right to check travel documents on external borders. The list of travel documents should therefore be legally binding, as this would be consistent with the power of Member States to recognise travel documents."@en1
