PROBLEMS WITH THE ISSUING OF VISAS Sample Clauses

PROBLEMS WITH THE ISSUING OF VISAS. When the Visa Code was adopted, the expectations were high. The Code was welcomed as the next step towards an EU Common Visa Policy229 and several new elements were praised.230 The Code solved some problems that were encountered with the previous rules under the CCI. With the Code a uniform procedure is installed, which takes away part of the sovereignty of the member states and thus tackles the differences in implementation of the CCI. Moreover, the Code also deals with the problem of ‘consulate shopping’.231 Also the setting of clear time limits and a fixed visa fee, thus limiting the possibility of the Member States to ask supplementing fees232, are great improvements. If the issuing of a visa is refused, the Member State now has to inform the applicant about it and provide the necessary procedural guarantees to enable the applicant to appeal the decision. The Commission is of the opinion the the Visa Code “greatly modernises and standardises the visa”, if they are correctly implemented.233 However, a lot of problems still remain, even with the adoption of the Visa Code. The mere existence of a visa requirement limits the short term migration into the EU. This is important to consider, given the fact that tourism is “one of the biggest generators of employment and earnings in the European Union and a key driver for economic growth and development”.234 But since visas are considered as indispensable to limit irregular migration235, it is not likely that the overall visa requirements will be eliminated in the near future. 228 Article 34(7) VC. 229 Xxxxxxxx (n 204) 255. 230 Peers (n 206) 130. 231 See Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and others, Visa Facilitation versus tightening of control: Key aspects of the ENP (European Parliament 2008) 19. By consulate shopping, I mean that visa applicants try to choose a consulate with a higher issuance rates. A uniform procedure does not take the problem away completely, but al least limits it. 232 ibid 20. 233 European Commission, ‘Implementation and development of the common visa policy to spur growth in the EU (Communication)’ COM (2012) 649 final, 4. 234 See COM (2012) 649 final, 2. In this Communication we can find astonishing figures: tourism is good for 18.8 million EU jobs in 2011 and tourists nearly spend USD 500 billion. 235 Xxxxxxxx and others (n 231) 10; Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, ‘Visa: een instrument in de strijd tegen mensensmokkel en mensenhandel?’ (2007) 3 Tijdschrift voor Vreemdelingenrecht 194, 194-199.
