COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2016/551
of 23 March 2016
establishing the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Joint Readmission Committee on a Decision of the Joint Readmission Committee on implementing arrangements for the application of Articles 4 and 6 of the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Turkey on the readmission of persons residing without authorisation from 1 June 2016
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 79(3), in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
The Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Turkey on readmission of persons residing without authorisation (‘the Agreement’) was concluded by Council Decision 2014/252/EU (1) and entered into force on 1 October 2014. According to Article 24(3) of the Agreement, the provisions of Articles 4 and 6 of the Agreement relating to the readmission of third-country nationals and stateless persons are to apply from 1 October 2017. |
(2) |
The Union and Turkey expressed their political agreement at the summit held on 29 November 2015, that the Agreement be fully applicable from 1 June 2016. |
(3) |
Article 19(1)(b) of the Agreement envisages that the Joint Readmission Committee decide on implementing arrangements necessary for the uniform application of the Agreement. It would therefore be appropriate to establish by a Decision of the Joint Readmission Committee the necessary implementing arrangements in order to advance the applicability of the obligations under Articles 4 and 6 of the Agreement from 1 June 2016. |
(4) |
The United Kingdom is bound by the Agreement and is therefore taking part in the adoption of this Decision. |
(5) |
Ireland is not bound by the Agreement nor subject to its application and is therefore not taking part in the adoption of this Decision. |
(6) |
Denmark is not bound by the Agreement nor subject to its application and is therefore not taking part in the adoption of this Decision. |
(7) |
Considering the above, it is necessary to establish the position to be taken on behalf of the Union within the Joint Readmission Committee on a decision of the Joint Readmission Committee on implementing arrangements for the application of Articles 4 and 6 of the Agreement from 1 June 2016, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The position to be taken on behalf of the Union within the EU-Turkey Joint Readmission Committee in relation to a decision of the Joint Readmission Committee on implementing arrangements for the application of Articles 4 and 6 of the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Turkey on readmission of persons residing without authorisation from 1 June 2016, shall be based on the draft decision of the Joint Readmission Committee, attached to this Decision.
Minor amendments to that draft decision may be accepted without further decision by the Council.
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
Done at Brussels, 23 March 2016.
For the Council
The President
