lpv:translated text	". Consular protection is an integral part of EU policy and a fundamental right granted to EU citizens defined in the Treaties. I therefore voted in favour of this report which introduces measures for coordination and cooperation between Member States and the EU, harmonising consular protection concepts and practices and thus facilitating the life of European citizens in third countries. I would point out that, under the Treaty of Lisbon, solidarity between Member States provides that a citizen of a Member State without representation may seek assistance from the consular authorities of other Member States which have representation. I welcome the Commission’s proposal which, by defining accessibility to the embassy or consulate as the time required to reach the embassy or consulate and return to their place of departure on the same day, makes access to consular services easier and more available to all European citizens since, regardless of whether or not they have representation in the third country, they can go to the nearest service. Another example that ‘More Europe’ means MORE protection for its citizens. Coordination and the provision of consular assistance in crisis situations are the responsibility of the EU delegation – one more step in the effective implementation of the European External Action Service!"@en1
