„If and only if a State intends to represent another State or to be represented by another State, the consultation procedure shall meet the requirements referred to in Article 8 of the Visa Code and in the representation arrangements concerned, as described in the below sample process pictures (pictures 1 and 2).

Consultation when processing a visa application in the context of representation shall be subject to the following rules, in accordance with Article 22 of the Visa Code, and can be carried out in the framework of one or both of the following scenarios:

Picture 1 -   Norway representing Sweden

Norway’s central authorities are to ensure that necessary consultations of the other States take place. The absence of a reply within seven (7) days shall mean that the consulted State(s) has(have) no grounds for objecting to the issuing of the visa. If the represented State (Sweden) wants to be involved this has to be laid down in a bilateral representation arrangement between the States involved (Norway and Sweden). In that case, the represented State must always reply to the representing State's FORM F using a FORM G (obligation to reply). A visa cannot be issued if no reply indicating consent is received. The represented State may specify on the FORM G reply, that a Visa of Limited Territorial Validity (VLTV) should be issued in the framework of representation. In this case, all other Schengen States are duly notified (by means of a FORM C) of the VLTV's issued by the representing State. It is not necessary to state the territory to which the visa is limited.

Picture 2 -   Norway representing Sweden

Sweden’s central authorities are to ensure that necessary consultations of the other State(s) take place. The absence of a reply within seven (7) days shall mean that the consulted State(s) has(have) no grounds for objecting to the issuing of the visa. The represented State must always reply to the representing State's FORM F using a FORM G (obligation to reply). A visa cannot be issued if no reply indicating consent is received. The represented State may specify on the FORM G reply, that a Visa of Limited Territorial Validity (VLTV) should be issued in the framework of representation. In this case, all other Schengen States are duly notified (by means of a FORM C) of the VLTV's issued by the representing State. It is not necessary to state the territory to which the visa is limited. The consultation procedure (7 calendar days) and any further communication between the represented State and representing State in relation to the decision process (e.g. exchange of forms F and G) has to be done within 15 calendar days in accordance with Article 23(1) of the Visa Code.”;

Possible indications:. »A«, »B«, »C«, »F«, »G« or »H«.

This heading indicates the error causing an E Form to be sent. The following codes can be used:

If error code 1 appears under heading No. 050, the number of the heading of the document which contains the first error must compulsorily be entered under heading No. 051.

If error code 2 appears under heading No. 050, the reason for the error shall be entered, according to the following codes:

The national applications shall be adapted in such a way that the statistics generated on Form E enable distinction of the number of error messages caused by technical errors (code = »1« under Heading No. 050) and logical errors (code = »2« under Heading No. 050).

Additional rule for form E:

It is prohibited to scan a form E itself for logical or technical failures and to reply to a malformed E by another form E to prevent a cumulative process – »Snowball Effect«.”;

w pkt 2.1.10. pod „Additional rules for form R”, drugi punkt otrzymuje brzmienie:

„If a Member State receives an alleged erroneous form R, it has to discard this form R without processing it. This means that the Member State should ignore forms R that seem to be invalid. Consequently an application which had to discard potentially malformed forms R will have remaining, unacknowledged forms A,....., H which will have to be resent until a valid form R arrives. If the problem persists it has to be solved bilaterally by technical staff.”;
