ADS Agreement with China Sample Clauses

ADS Agreement with China. The first real agreement negotiated in the field of visa facilitation that actually facilitates the stay on the territory of a Schengen State, is the Authorised Destination Status (or ADS) agreement concluded between the EC and China,341 which entered into force in 2005. As a legal basis, current article 77(2)(A) TFEU is used. Although the agreement is entitled as ‘Memorandum of Understanding’, it is a fully-fledged international agreement, as it is clearly stipulated in article 8(6) that it is legally binding on the parties. Therefore it forms an integral part of EU law. This means that, although the Visa Code applies to all visa applications, the provisions of the ADS prevail over the corresponding Visa Code provisions. The agreement aims to facilitate organised touristic group travel from China to the EU, by strengthening the touristic sectors both in the EU and in China.342 To achieve this goal, the agreement establishes a simplified procedure to grant Schengen visas to tourists. The Chinese authorities establish the list of travel agencies that may operate under the ADS scheme.343 The EU Member States than decide which of these they accredit.344 The accredited agencies hereby obtain the right to lodge visa applications on behalf of Chinese group travellers.345 The main facilitation feature of the agreement is the dropping of the requirement to lodge the application in person. Apart from that, no real facilitations can be found. This is not entirely surprising, since the relations with China are not that good, combined with the fact that this agreement represents the first step of the EU in the field of visa facilitation. 341 Memorandum of Understanding between the European Community and the National Tourism Administration of the People's Republic of China, on visa and related issues concerning tourist groups from the People's Republic of China (ADS) [2004] OJ L83/14 (ADS Agreement EU-China). 342 ADS Agreement EU-China, preamble.
