Parhaillaan neuvoteltavat Yhdysvaltain ja eräiden jäsenvaltioiden kahdenväliset viisumeja ja PNR-tietoja (matkustajarekisteri) koskevat sopimukset

Madam President, like many colleagues, I also think that the unity of the European Union is very important, not only in visa policy but other issues related to the United States of America.
I would, however, like to ask the Commissioner specifically: do you think that the US is now demanding from those Member States who are trying to independently negotiate a visa waiver programme different levels of requirements based on other reasons than security? Do you think that the US is playing EU Member States against each other and trying to use other issues also linked to the matter? Or is it just security concerns from the US side? |
