".
Under Article 23 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), every citizen of the Union shall, in the territory of a third country in which the Member State of which he is a national is not represented, be entitled to protection by the diplomatic or consular authorities of any Member State, on the same conditions as the nationals of that State. This principle is also enshrined in Article 46 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. In order to facilitate the access of EU citizens to their rights, including the right to protection in third countries, a new legislative instrument is desirable and required. The number of crisis-hit areas is also increasing. I therefore believe that a new, common approach is all the more important. We distinguish between local consular protection in everyday life and protection in crisis situations. According to the Lisbon Treaty, solidarity among Member States shall be sustained. Therefore in everyday cases of consular protection the unrepresented citizen has the right to request the help of any diplomatic or consular authority of any Member State. In cases of crisis situation, it is proposed that the Union delegation be in charge of coordinating and providing assistance regarding the preparation for and in case of crisis."@en1
