Service passports Clause Samples
Service passports. Compared to the first generation of visa facilitation agreements, the second generation embodies some minor and considerable changes. The question is whether these changes are sufficient to remedy some or all of the problems identified above concerning the first generation. A first change is the inclusion of the holders of service passports in the categories that can benefit from visa free travel. It should however be noted that only the amended agreements with Ukraine and Moldova extend the visa-free travel. The agreements with Cape Verde, Armenia and Azerbaijan still limit visa free travel to holders of diplomatic passports only. What can be found in all of the second generation agreements is the declaration by the Union on public security. Apparently, the Union shall not hesitate to limit visa-free travel if the person holding a diplomatic or service passport is a threat to public security. 418 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ‘EU considers visa-ban-lite on Russian officials’ EU Observer (Brussels, 4 June 2013) <▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/ foreign/120368> accessed 12 August 2014. 419 ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ i ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (n 165) 7 420 Amended VFA EU-Ukraine — European Union Declaration on Article 10 (2) of the Agreement [2013] OJ L168/17. 421 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ‘EU considers visa-ban-lite on Russian officials’ (n 418). 422 ibid. 423 Text to n 477 in ch IV.
