Introduction 1 The number of fully fledged consular services has been reduced from 5 to 4 after the closing of the polish embassy. The 4 remaining are DE, FR, IT & ES. Some of the other 8 MS may issue locally visas for diplomatic or service passports. 2 There has been no change on representation arrangements as the very few consular services present remain understaffed and / or overloaded. 3 The use of an external service provider for the collection of applications remain a very delicate issue as the local circumstances do not yet provide enough assurance in terms of the validity of the requested documents. 2. LSC meetings held in 2014-2015 The LSC have regular meetings held on bi-monthly basis (six times a year). Attendance is very good, only security issues may prevent on the last minute some participants to join. EUD is chairing. Meetings take place at the Delegation. Non-Schengen Member States are always welcome. MS draw up own reports and share with their capitals. There is no need for coordination in locations outside the capital as visas are issued but only in Kabul. 3. State of play 3.1 Application of the Visa Code The main problem relating to the implementation of the Visa Code as discussed in the LSC meetings has been the obligation of giving the finger printers as some national authorities have repeatedly consider this practise as irreverent. The EU Delegation has sent on various occasions on behalf of all the MS a kind NV explaining the mutual interest and fairness of this worldwide practise. 3.2 Assessment of the need to harmonise the lists of supporting documents MS present consider that harmonisation of practices is already acquired. Draft list has been agreed upon and forwarded to the Visa Committee. 3.3 Exchange of information Statistics are shared at every bi-monthly meeting. Cases of fraud are discussed to avoid any recurrence. 1 April 2014 – March 2015 10517/15 PR/lm 3 DG D 1 A EN/FR www.parlament.gv.at 3.4 Any other initiative taken in LSC The Schengen consular group has taken the initiative to meet with the migration colleagues in order to harmonise the messaging regarding the request of the Minister for Refugees to review all the Memorandum of Understanding. International law should be respected and some basic common principles should be mutually agreed on. 4. Challenges The accuracy of the requested supporting documents remains an on-going concern and prevents the opening of a visa application center even if the concept would be a good solution for all those willing to travel to a country in the Schengen zone without a presence in Kabul, obliging them to travel to a neighbourhood country to give their finger printers. Taking into account the volatile political, economic and security environment it will remain very demanding and time-consuming to analyse and take the right decision of the numerous visa applications. Rate of refusal is expected to remain high. 5. Other issues Not applicable. 10517/15 PR/lm 4 DG D 1 A EN/FR www.parlament.gv.at EUROPEAN UNION – BASHKIMI EVROPIAN DELEGATION TO ALBANIA DELEGACIONI NE SHQIPERI Political, Economic and Information Section 04/05/2015 LOCAL SCHENGEN COOPERATION (LSC) in Tirana 2014-2015 REPORT 1. Introduction In addition to the EU Delegation to the Republic of Albania, there are 18 Member States with diplomatic representation to Tirana. Moreover, Italy has two General Consulates in Vlora and Shkodra and one honorary Consulate in Gjrokastra while Greece has two General Consulates in Gjirokastra and Korca. Austria has one Honorary Consulate in Shkodra. In December 2013 Romania opened an Honorary Consulate in Korce. Since the entry into force of the Visa Code in April 2011, the EUD is in charge of the coordination of meetings of the Local Schengen Cooperation which usually take place every six months. Visa Liberalisation is in force since December 2010. Switzerland is represented by the Austrian Embassy for Schengen C type visas. Austria is also representing Malta for Schengen C type visas. Hungary represents Estonia, Latvia and Slovakia in C type visas. Denmark is representing Island, Norway and Sweden for Schengen C type visas and France is representing Portugal for Schengen C type visas. 2. LSC meetings held in 2014-2015 During the reporting period three LSC meetings took place (26 June and 16 September 2014 and 18 March 2015). They were well attended by EU MS and chaired by the EU Delegation. 3. State of play 3.1 Application of the Visa Code On 25 September 2014 the Visa Information System (VIS) for Schengen short-stay visas started operation in all Schengen States' consulates present in the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Kosovo1, Montenegro and Serbia) and Turkey. EU MS did not report any particular problems related to the application of VIS in particular or the Visa Code in general. 3.2 Assessment of the need to harmonise the lists of supporting documents The harmonisation of the list of supporting documents was completed before Visa Liberalisation entered into force. 1 This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244/99 and the ICJ Opinion on the Kosovo declaration of independence. 10517/15 PR/lm 5 DG D 1 A EN/FR www.parlament.gv.at 3.3 Exchange of information The level of exchange of information within the LSC was good. Overall, MS shared information on problems related to the rise of asylum seekers to some EU Member States. Bilateral exchange of information also took place. 3.4 Any other initiative taken in LSC Nothing to report 4. Challenges The period 2013-2014 showed a considerable increase of asylum applications and unaccompanied minors (UAM) in EUMS/SAC. Regarding the period 2015-2016 the situation of asylum applications and UAMs is expected to worsen. Albania must take immediate and determined action in the framework of the post-visa liberalisation monitoring mechanism to address the increasing number of manifestly unfounded asylum applications of Albanian citizens abroad while respecting human rights principles. 5. Other issues Nothing to report 10517/15 PR/lm 6 DG D 1 A EN/FR www.parlament.gv.at UNION EUROPEENNE DELEGATION EN ALGERIE 21.05.2014 COOPERATION LOCALE AU TITRE DE SCHENGEN ENTRE LES CONSULATS ET LES ETATS-MEMBRES (LSC) EN ALGERIE RAPPORT1 2014-2015 1. Introduction 17 Etats membres de l'espace Schengen ont une présence diplomatique/ consulaire en Algérie: AT, BE, CH, CZ, DE, EL, ES, FI, FR, HU, IT, MT, NL, NO, PL, PT, SE. MT a ouvert son Consulat à Alger en mars 2014. Accords de représentation pour les questions de visa: AT, BE, CZ, DE, ES, HU, PL représentent respectivement SI, LU, SK, LT, EE, LV, SE. En cas d’urgence et sur la base d'une demande expresse BE peut également délivrer des visas pour NL. Recours aux prestataires de service extérieurs pour la réception des demandes de visa: EL, ES, MT (le prestataire VFS Global); FR, IT (le prestataire TLS Contact). La coordination des réunions LSC est assurée par la Délégation de l'UE en Algérie. Les spécificités locales relatives à la délivrance des visas: - un nombre important de demandeurs de visa qui déposent leurs demandes auprès des consulats/ ambassades des Etats membres ont en réalité pour but final le voyage ou l'émigration notamment en FR ou en ES. - de nombreuses tentatives de fraude (notamment la falsification des justificatifs relatifs à la situation socio-professionnelle des demandeurs de visa) et de nombreux intermédiaires dans l'obtention des visas Schengen qui proposent des différents services pour faciliter l'obtention de visas Schengen: des invitations aux différents salons internationaux ou pour des visites médicales, et même des services ciblés pour les personnes avec un profil migratoire ("sans travail ou avec des dossiers non-complets"; des demandeurs dont l’octroi de visa a été refusé par plusieurs missions diplomatiques). Dans certaines situations, ces services pourraient être en réalité des tentatives de facilitation de la fraude en matière de l'obtention de visas Schengen.

  • After the Red Passport: Towards an Anthropology of the Everyday Geopolitics of Entrapment in the EU’S ‘Immediate Outside’
    After the red passport: towards an anthropology of the everyday geopolitics of entrapment in the EU’s ‘immediate outside’ Stef Jansen Manchester University Suggesting building bricks for an anthropology of everyday geopolitics, this text analyses affective engagements with regulation, here of cross-border mobility. Following the logic of the regulation that constitutes them, I conceptualize zones of humiliating entrapment through documentary requirements – experienced by citizens of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia – as the EU’s shrinking ‘immediate outside’. Using ethnography, I embed bodily experiences in visa queues in people’s engagements with changing Eurocentric spatiotemporal rankings, refracting this entrapment against the privileges of certain foreigners (such as me) and against their own remembered mobility with the ‘red’ Yugoslav passport. I propose that complementing the dominant focus on the role of (national) identity politics in geopolitical affect with one on regulation and ranking is a central task for a critical anthropology of everyday geopolitics in peripheries. In 2008, some friends and I were having a beer in Sarajevo when an acquaintance of theirs joined our table. He asked me what had brought me to Sarajevo and I gave him my well-worn, one-minute reply. He then asked me:‘So you chose to be here?’ Rising to the bait of his irony I replied that, yes, I had been lucky enough to develop my research project myself and that I enjoyed being there, adding in jest: ‘Nikomenetjeradaprovodimvrijemeovdje’ [‘Nobody is forcing me to spend time here’]. At that moment my friend intervened without blinking an eyelid:‘Da je tako, bio bi Bosanac!’ [‘If that were the case (i.e.
