Rådets afgørelse

af 22. december 2009

om ændring af Schengenkonsultationsnettet (tekniske specifikationer)

(2009/1024/EU)

RÅDET FOR DEN EUROPÆISKE UNION HAR —

under henvisning til Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 789/2001 af 24. april 2001 om at forbeholde Rådet gennemførelsesbeføjelserne vedrørende visse detailbestemmelser og konkrete procedurer i forbindelse med behandling af visumansøgninger [1], særlig artikel 1, stk. 2,

under henvisning til initiativ fra Den Tjekkiske Republik, og

ud fra følgende betragtninger:

(1) Schengenkonsultationsnettet er oprettet for at muliggøre konsultation mellem medlemsstaternes centrale myndigheder i forbindelse med behandlingen af visumansøgninger indgivet af statsborgere fra visse tredjelande.

(2) Artikel 22 i Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 810/2009 af 13. juli 2009 om en fællesskabskodeks for visa (visumkodeks) [2] ændrer de regler, der nu gælder, når en medlemsstat har krævet, at andre medlemsstaters centrale myndigheder hører dens centrale myndigheder under behandlingen af ansøgninger, som er indgivet af statsborgere fra specifikke tredjelande eller af specifikke kategorier af disse statsborgere. De tekniske specifikationer for Schengenkon-sultationsnettet bør ændres tilsvarende.

(3) Artikel 31 i visumkodeksen gør det muligt for en medlemsstat at kræve, at dens centrale myndigheder informeres om visa udstedt af en anden medlemsstat til statsborgere fra specifikke tredjelande eller til specifikke kategorier af disse statsborgere, bortset fra når der er tale om lufthavnstransitvisa.

(4) Overførsel af sådanne oplysninger gør det nødvendigt at udarbejde en ny formular i Schengenkonsultationsnettet.

(5) Langtidsvisum med samme gyldighed som korttidsvisum (type "D + C") vil blive ophævet, og transitvisum (type "B") vil blive slået sammen med korttidsvisum (type "C") fra datoen for anvendelse af visumkodeksen.

(6) Schengenkonsultationsnettets tekniske specifikationer bør ændres i overensstemmelse hermed og bør finde anvendelse fra datoen for anvendelse af visumkodeksen.

(7) I medfør af artikel 1 og 2 i protokol nr. 22 om Danmarks stilling, der er knyttet som bilag til traktaten om Den Europæiske Union og til traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions funktionsmåde, deltager Danmark ikke i vedtagelsen af denne afgørelse, som ikke er bindende for og ikke finder anvendelse i Danmark. Inden seks måneder efter at Rådet har truffet afgørelse om denne afgørelse til udbygning af Schengenreglerne, træffer Danmark afgørelse om, hvorvidt det vil gennemføre den i sin nationale lovgivning, jf. artikel 4 i protokollen om Danmarks stilling.

(8) For så vidt angår Island og Norge udgør denne afgørelse en udvikling af bestemmelser i Schengenreglerne, jf. aftalen indgået mellem Rådet for Den Europæiske Union og Republikken Island og Kongeriget Norge om disse to staters associering i gennemførelsen, anvendelsen og udviklingen af Schengenreglerne [3], henhørende under det område, der er nævnt i artikel 1, litra A, i Rådets afgørelse 1999/437/EF af 17. maj 1999 om visse gennemførelsesbestemmelser til nævnte aftale [4].

(9) For så vidt angår Schweiz udgør denne afgørelse en udvikling af bestemmelser i Schengenreglerne, jf. aftalen mellem Den Europæiske Union, Det Europæiske Fællesskab og Det Schweiziske Forbund om Det Schweiziske Forbunds associering i gennemførelsen, anvendelsen og udviklingen af Schengenreglerne [5], henhørende under det område, der er nævnt i artikel 1, litra A, i Rådets afgørelse 1999/437/EF sammenholdt med artikel 3 i Rådets afgørelse 2008/146/EF [6] om indgåelse, på Det Europæiske Fællesskabs vegne, af den pågældende aftale.

(10) For så vidt angår Liechtenstein udgør denne forordning en udvikling af bestemmelser i Schengenreglerne, jf. protokollen mellem Den Europæiske Union, Det Europæiske Fællesskab, Det Schweiziske Forbund og Fyrstendømmet Liechtenstein, om Fyrstendømmet Liechtensteins tiltrædelse af aftalen mellem Den Europæiske Union, Det Europæiske Fællesskab og Det Schweiziske Forbund om Det Schweiziske Forbunds associering i gennemførelsen, anvendelsen og udviklingen af Schengenreglerne, henhørende under det område, der er nævnt i artikel 1, litra A, i Rådets afgørelse 1999/437/EF sammenholdt med artikel 3 i Rådets afgørelse 2008/261/EF [7] om undertegnelse, på Det Europæiske Fællesskabs vegne, af og midlertidig anvendelse af visse bestemmelser i den pågældende protokol.

(11) Denne afgørelse udgør en udvikling af bestemmelser i Schengenreglerne, som Det Forenede Kongerige ikke deltager i, jf. Rådets afgørelse 2000/365/EF af 29. maj 2000 om anmodningen fra Det Forenede Kongerige Storbritannien og Nordirland om at deltage i visse bestemmelser i Schengenreglerne [8]. Det Forenede Kongerige deltager derfor ikke i vedtagelsen af denne afgørelse, som ikke er bindende for og ikke finder anvendelse i Det Forenede Kongerige.

(12) Denne afgørelse udgør en udvikling af bestemmelser i Schengenreglerne, som Irland ikke deltager i, jf. Rådets afgørelse 2002/192/EF af 28. februar 2002 om anmodningen fra Irland om at deltage i visse bestemmelser i Schengenreglerne [9]. Irland deltager derfor ikke i vedtagelsen af denne afgørelse, som ikke er bindende for og ikke finder anvendelse i Irland.

(13) For så vidt angår Cypern er denne afgørelse en retsakt, der bygger på Schengenreglerne eller på anden måde har tilknytning dertil, jf. artikel 3, stk. 2, i tiltrædelsesakten af 2003.

(14) Denne afgørelse er en retsakt, der bygger på Schengenreglerne eller på anden måde har tilknytning dertil, jf. artikel 4, stk. 2, i tiltrædelsesakten af 2005 —

VEDTAGET DENNE AFGØRELSE:

The following messages can be exchanged via the Schengen Consultation Network:

— FORM A : "CONSULTATION REQUEST REGARDING VISA APPLICATION"

— FORM B : "REPLY TO CONSULTATION REQUEST"

— FORM C : "NOTIFICATION OF ISSUE OF VLTV"

— FORM F : "VISA APPLICATION WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF REPRESENTATION"

— FORM G : "RESPONSE TO A VISA APPLICATION WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF REPRESENTATION"

— FORM E : "ERROR MESSAGE"

— FORM R : "DELIVERY NOTIFICATION"

— FORM H : "NOTIFICATION OF ISSUE OF A VISA"

The receipt of any form A, B, C, F, G, E or H has to be acknowledged by replying with a form R, if the original message contained a "Document unifier". The "Document unifier" is labelled by "000" on the form (the individual headings are documented below.). For the sake of clarity, the notification of the delivery is not stated explicitly in the following flow samples.".

2. I punkt 2.1.1.1 foretages følgende ændringer:

- første afsnit affattes således:

"Four forms – A, B, C and H – are exchanged via the network. A FORM A contains the consultation request on which the consulted authority has the opportunity to reply within 7 calendar days (See also 1.2.2). If the applicant has a nationality or belongs to a category of such a national for whom prior consultation is requested by a/some Member State(s) consultation of those States' central authority is required pursuant to Article 22 of the Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 of 13. juli 2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a Community Code on Visas (Visa Code) [1]

- tredje afsnit affattes således:

"According to Article 31 of the Visa Code a Member State may require that its central authorities be informed of visas issued by other Member States to nationals of specific third countries or to specific categories of such nationals, except when an airport transit visa is issued. This information is transmitted by sending an H-FORM.".

3. Punkt 2.1.1.2 affattes således:

"If and only if a State intends to represent another State or to be represented by another State, the consultation procedure shall meet the requirements referred to in Article 8 of the Visa Code and in the representation arrangements concerned, as described in the below sample process pictures (pictures 1 and 2).

Consultation when processing a visa application in the context of representation shall be subject to the following rules, in accordance with Article 22 of the Visa Code, and can be carried out in the framework of one or both of the following scenarios:

Picture 1 — Norway representing Sweden

+++++ TIFF +++++

Norway’s central authorities are to ensure that necessary consultations of the other States take place. The absence of a reply within seven (7) days shall mean that the consulted State(s) has(have) no grounds for objecting to the issuing of the visa. If the represented State (Sweden) wants to be involved this has to be laid down in a bilateral representation arrangement between the States involved (Norway and Sweden). In that case, the represented State must always reply to the representing State's FORM F using a FORM G (obligation to reply). A visa cannot be issued if no reply indicating consent is received. The represented State may specify on the FORM G reply, that a Visa of Limited Territorial Validity (VLTV) should be issued in the framework of representation. In this case, all other Schengen States are duly notified (by means of a FORM C) of the VLTV's issued by the representing State. It is not necessary to state the territory to which the visa is limited.

Sweden’s central authorities are to ensure that necessary consultations of the other State(s) take place. The absence of a reply within seven (7) days shall mean that the consulted State(s) has(have) no grounds for objecting to the issuing of the visa.

The national applications shall be adapted in such a way that the statistics generated on Form E enable distinction of the number of error messages caused by technical errors (code = "1" under Heading No. 050) and logical errors (code = "2" under Heading No. 050).

Additional rule for form E:

It is prohibited to scan a form E itself for logical or technical failures and to reply to a malformed E by another form E to prevent a cumulative process – "Snowball Effect".".

11. I punkt 2.1.10 under "Additional rules for form R", affattes andet punkt således:

"If a Member State receives an alleged erroneous form R, it has to discard this form R without processing it. This means that the Member State should ignore forms R that seem to be invalid. Consequently an application which had to discard potentially malformed forms R will have remaining, unacknowledged forms A,....., H which will have to be resent until a valid form R arrives. If the problem persists it has to be solved bilaterally by technical staff.".
