ANNEX

PRILOGA

PROTOCOL TO THE AGREEMENT ON THE MEMBER STATES THAT DO NOT FULLY APPLY THE SCHENGEN ACQUIS

PROTOKOL K SPORAZUMU O DRŽAVAH ČLANICAH, KI SCHENGENSKEGA PRAVNEGA REDA NE IZVAJAJO V CELOTI

Those Member States which are bound by the Schengen acquis but which do not yet issue Schengen visas, while awaiting the relevant decision of the Council to that end, shall issue citizen visas the validity of which is limited to their own territory.

Tiste države članice, ki jih schengenski pravni red zavezuje, vendar še ne izdajajo schengenskih vizumov, v pričakovanju ustreznega sklepa Sveta izdajajo nacionalne vizume, katerih veljavnost je omejena na njihovo lastno ozemlje.

These Member States may unilaterally recognise Schengen visas and residence permits for the transit through their territory, in accordance with European Parliament and Council Decision No 895/2006/EC of 14 June 2006.

Te države članice lahko v skladu z Odločbo št. 895/2006/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta enostransko priznajo schengenske vizume in dovoljenja za prebivanje za namene tranzita preko njihovih ozemelj.

As European Parliament and Council Decision No 895/2006/EC of 14 June 2006 does not apply to Romania and Bulgaria; similar provisions will be proposed by the European Commission in order to enable these countries to unilaterally recognise Schengen visas and residence permits and other similar documents issued by other Member States not yet fully integrated into the Schengen area for the purpose of transit through their territory.

Ker se Odločba št. 895/2006/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta ne uporablja za Romunijo in Bolgarijo, bo Evropska komisija predlagala podobne določbe, da tema državama omogoči, da za namene tranzita preko njihovih ozemelj enostransko priznata schengenske vizume in dovoljenja za prebivanje ter druge podobne dokumente, ki jih izdajo druge države članice, ki še niso v celoti vključene v schengensko območje.
