9.6. Programul de scutire de vize (vot)

- Avant le vote sur le paragraphe 1

  Stavros Lambrinidis , on behalf of the PSE Group. – Mr President, I would like to propose a change to paragraph 1, adding the word ‘including’, to read as follows: ‘Considers that any form of direct or indirect discrimination between European citizens including on the grounds of their nationality should be prohibited’.

- Avant le vote sur l'amendement 8

  Urszula , on behalf of the PPE-DE Group. – Mr President, the full oral amendment is given in the voting list. It basically corrects a factual error that was pointed out by Greek colleagues. It refers to the threshold of visa rejections, which forms the basis for continuing to keep countries outside visa waiver. In the case of Greece the rejection rate is, in fact, only 1%, so we are correcting a factual error and I would ask you to support this amendment.

(L'amendement oral est retenu)
