"Consular protection must be effective, efficient and well-coordinated, its primary goal being that citizens can benefit fully from it. However, I find that the proposal does not allocate enough responsibility to Union delegations in the context of everyday, local consular protection. I think that a more important role should be given to Union delegations, including granting them consular powers. The proposed directive might then be an opportunity to assign a greater role to the delegations and give them the means to fulfil this role. This would create a more European form of diplomacy, raising the profile of the Union and strengthening European citizenship. Respect for fundamental rights must also be guaranteed. For example, can we be sure that the embassies and consulates of all Member States will guarantee the same rights for same-sex couples and their families? This guarantee is granted by Union delegations, which are bound by the Charter of Fundamental Rights. However, I believe that a sound compromise has been reached on what is a key issue for the Union’s citizens."@en1
