". I voted in favour of this report because I believe that it is very important to define more precisely the means for coordination and cooperation that are necessary to ensure daily consular protection for unrepresented EU citizens. Article 20(2)(c) and Article 23 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 46 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union define consular protection as a fundamental right of EU citizenship. More specifically, two types of consular protection can be distinguished: consular protection in everyday life and consular protection in crisis situations. The Member States should consider establishing a trust fund for consular protection, from which the embassy or consulate of the assisting Member State could advance its expenses for assisting an unrepresented citizen and into which the Member States of the assisted unrepresented citizen should reimburse the financial advance. This way the Member States would not burden each other financially and in emergency situations all EU citizens would be taken into account, including those not represented. The Council Directive should create the necessary conditions for the wide network of EU representations to play a larger role in providing consular protection."@en1
