". Until now, exemption from the airport transit visa (ATV) requirement was unclear and that is why I voted in favour of this amendment to the 2009 regulation. The amendment is only a technical adjustment but it will reduce the administrative burden on the Member States, and simplify the lives of individuals, European airports and airlines. It will principally be of use to third-country nationals, who will henceforth be exempted from the ATV requirement if they hold a visa from a Member State of the European Union, even from a country which is not part of the Schengen zone. As our rapporteur Louis Michel has explained, ‘this change is logical: it is pointless to insist that persons who already hold a visa or residence permit should undergo a further identity check, given that they have already been checked’ and ‘on that basis, have been deemed not to present a risk of illegal immigration’."@en1
