Press release - European travel document: MEPs and ministers strike informal deal - Committee on Civ

Aktuality z Európskeho parlamentu 24.06.2016 02:04 A new standard European travel document to speed the return of non-EU nationals staying "irregularly" in EU member states without valid passports or identity cards was informally agreed by MEPs and EU ministers on Thursday evening. A key goal during the talks has been to increase third countries’ acceptance of the document through improved technical details. To enter into force, this informal deal needs to be formally endorsed by the full Parliament and the Council of Ministers.Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Source :
