"I welcomed this document because, in accordance with the 1985 Convention implementing the Schengen agreement, a manual of travel documents has been compiled enabling the crossing of external borders and which may be endorsed with a visa. However, these decisions are out of date and need to be adapted to the EU’s current institutional and legal framework. The purpose of the list of travel documents is twofold: on the one hand, it allows border control authorities to verify whether a given travel document is recognised for the purpose of crossing the external borders. On the other hand, it allows consular staff to verify whether Member States recognise a given travel document for the purpose of affixing the visa sticker. This decision establishes the list of travel documents entitling the holder to cross the external borders and which may be endorsed with a visa and a mechanism for compiling this list. This decision applies to travel documents such as national passports (ordinary, diplomatic, service/official or special passports), emergency travel documents, refugee or stateless person’s travel documents, travel documents issued by international organisations or laissez-passers. This decision does not affect Member States’ competence for the recognition of travel documents."@en1
