The European Union wants to strengthen procedures allowing it to suspend its visa waiver program for citizens of Ukraine, Turkey, Georgia and Kosovo and other countries, the European Commissioner for Migration, Interior Affairs and Citizenship, Dimitris Avramopoulos, said.
The migration minister for the Netherlands Klaas Dijkhoff said the mechanism would go into action “if things are not going as planned on whatever country we’re dealing with, when unexpected things happen.”
"Visa liberalisation brings great benefits but there also are risks. It is designed for short stays of tourists or for business travel," Reuters cited him as saying.
