Axel Voss (PPE), Antwort auf eine Frage nach dem Verfahren der blauen Karte. - Zum einen wollen wir immer eine Rechtsgrundlage haben. Natürlich ist es im Moment eine unglückliche Situation, dass sich das mit Kanada nicht so ergibt, wie wir es gerne hätten. Zum anderen bedeuten Überflugrechte natürlich auch ein Eindringen in das Hoheitsgebiet eines anderen Staates. Auch dafür braucht man natürlich entsprechende Grundlagen. Von daher ist es vollkommen richtig, dass wir eine Grundlage brauchen. Dafür werden wir uns auch einsetzen. Wir sperren uns in diesem Fall auch gar nicht gegen Rechtsgrundlagen. Wir müssen nur abwarten, was die Verhandlungen mit Kanada letztlich erbringen werden. Darauf warten wir, und deshalb werden wir uns dann auch dafür einsetzen, dass dies entsprechend Grundlage wird und eine entsprechende rechtliche Grundlage beinhaltet.: siehe Protokoll (Aussprache)

Biometric passports

Sicherheitsmerkmale und biometrische Daten in Pässen und Reisedokumenten (Aussprache)

Security features and biometrics in passports and travel documents (debate)

MEPs will debate and vote on ‘citizenship by investment’ schemes, under which third country nationals can get so-called ‘golden passports’. These ones are objectionable ethically, legally, and economically. They also pose serious security risks while undermining the essence of EU citizenship, and should be banned. According to the draft text, third countries with visa-free access to the EU should also end their ‘golden passports’ schemes. Meanwhile, on 25 February in light of Putin’s attack on Ukraine, the leaders of the European Commission, France, Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada, and the US committed to taking measures to limit the access of wealthy Russians (with ties to the government) to ‘golden passports’. Closing statements by Didier REYNDERS, European Commissioner for Justice and by Sophia IN 'T VELD (Renew, NL), rapporteur.
