"I welcome the adoption of this report, which seeks to implement Article 23 of the Treaty of Lisbon on consular protection, one of the principal rights conferred by European citizenship, in addition to Article 46 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, aimed at guaranteeing assistance for European citizens not represented in a third country.
Consular protection is a concrete manifestation of what everyday European citizenship might look like. It is also an opportunity to improve how the burden of responsibility is shared in the event of a crisis. This debate will pave the way for a discussion on the future role of EU delegations, which could in future handle everyday consular tasks on behalf of unrepresented citizens. This would also have the advantage of creating a more European type of diplomacy, redefining European citizenship and raising the profile of the Union. Finally, it would provide the assurance that the fundamental rights of all are guaranteed.
Parliament’s opinion is of course purely advisory, although the Council would have everything to gain by drawing inspiration from it, fostering true European solidarity beyond our borders for the benefit of our citizens."@en1
