I voted in favour of the legislative resolution on the proposal for a Council directive on consular protection for citizens of the Union abroad. EU citizens who travel or live in a third country where the Member State of which they are nationals is not represented by a consulate or embassy are entitled to consular protection from the consular authorities of any other Member State.
This directive lays down the cooperation and coordination measures necessary to facilitate protection of citizens of the Union, in the territory of a third country in which the Member State of which they are nationals is not represented, by the diplomatic or consular authorities of another Member State on the same conditions as the nationals of that Member State. The relevant Member State is obliged to offer assistance to unrepresented EU citizens under the same conditions as to its own nationals.
Many EU citizens have been affected by recent crises, such as those in Libya, Egypt and Bahrain after the democratic uprisings in spring 2011, or in Japan after the earthquake of March 2011. In day-to-day situations, too, such as in the event of a serious illness or when a citizen is a victim of crime, consular protection is often indispensable."@en1
