COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2015/2289
of 3 December 2015
establishing the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Joint Committee set up under the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Cape Verde on facilitating the issue of short-stay visas to citizens of the Republic of Cape Verde and of the European Union, with regard to the adoption of common guidelines for the implementation of the Agreement
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular point (a) of Article 77(2) in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
The Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Cape Verde on facilitating the issue of short-stay visas to citizens of the Republic of Cape Verde and of the European Union (1) (‘the Agreement’) entered into force on 1 December 2014. |
(2) |
Article 10 of the Agreement provides that a Joint Committee is to be established by the Parties. It further provides that that Joint Committee is, in particular, to monitor the implementation of the Agreement. |
(3) |
Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) establishes the procedures and conditions for issuing visas for transit through or intended stays on the territory of the Member States not exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period. |
(4) |
Common guidelines are needed in order to ensure a fully harmonised implementation of the Agreement by the consulates of the Republic of Cape Verde and of the Member States, and to clarify the relationship between the provisions of the Agreement and the provisions of the legislation of the Parties to the Agreement that continue to apply to visa issues not covered by the Agreement. |
(5) |
It is therefore appropriate to establish the position to be taken on behalf of the Union within the Joint Committee, with regard to the adoption of common guidelines for the implementation of the Agreement. |
(6) |
In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application. |
(7) |
In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 21 on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and without prejudice to Article 4 of that Protocol, those Member States are not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and are not bound by it or subject to its application, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The position to be taken on behalf of the Union within the Joint Committee set up under the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Cape Verde on facilitating the issue of short-stay visas to citizens of the Republic of Cape Verde and of the European Union, with regard to the adoption of common guidelines for the implementation of the Agreement, shall be based on the draft decision of the Joint Committee attached to this Decision.

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
Done at Brussels, 3 December 2015.
