    Questions referred

    1.

    Must Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 (1) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) be interpreted as meaning that existence of a valid visa contained in a valid travel document is a mandatory pre-condition for the entry of a third-country national?

    2.

    Under Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 (2) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 establishing a Community Code on Visas (Visa Code), does cancellation of a travel document to which a visa sticker is affixed mean that the visa issued is also invalidated?

    3.

    Are national rules which require, as a mandatory pre-condition for the entry of third-country nationals, the existence of a valid visa contained in a valid travel document compatible with Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) and Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 establishing a Community Code on Visas (Visa Code)?
