COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2016/630

of 11 April 2016

on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Joint Readmission Committee set up under the Agreement between the European Community and the Russian Federation on readmission, concerning a recommendation with regard to readmission applications requiring the arrangement of interviews

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the third paragraph of Article 79, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

 

(1)

The Agreement between the European Community and the Russian Federation on readmission (1) of 25 May 2006 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Readmission Agreement’) entered into force on 1 June 2007.

 

(2)

Article 19 of the Readmission Agreement sets up a Joint Readmission Committee with responsibility for the tasks specified therein.

 

(3)

Point (b) of Article 19(1) of the Readmission Agreement provides that the Joint Readmission Committee is to decide on arrangements necessary for the uniform execution of the Readmission Agreement.

 

(4)

The interview is one of the elements of the readmission procedure provided for in the Readmission Agreement. In accordance with Article 9(4) of the Readmission Agreement, the interview is to be arranged when none of the documents listed in Annexes 2 and 3 to the Readmission Agreement can be attached by the requesting party to the readmission application.

 

(5)

A first recommendation with regard to readmission applications requiring the arrangement of interviews was adopted by the Joint Readmission Committee on 2 June 2009. That recommendation should be further clarified by a second one to provide guidelines for situations in which time limits for the arrangement of interviews cannot be respected, in order to reschedule those interviews.

 

(6)

It is therefore appropriate to determine the position to be taken on behalf of the Union in the Joint Readmission Committee concerning the recommendation with regard to readmission applications requiring the arrangement of interviews.

 

(7)

The United Kingdom is bound by the Readmission Agreement and is therefore taking part in the adoption of this Decision.

 

(8)

Ireland is bound by the Readmission Agreement and is therefore taking part in the adoption of this Decision.

 

(9)

Denmark is not bound by the Readmission Agreement nor subject to its application and is therefore not taking part in the adoption of this Decision,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Sole Article

  • 1. 
    The position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Joint Readmission Committee set up by Article 19 of the Agreement between the European Community and the Russian Federation on readmission, regarding the adoption of the recommendation with regard to readmission applications requiring the arrangement of interviews, shall be based on the draft Joint Readmission Committee recommendation attached to this Decision.
  • 2. 
    Minor technical corrections to the draft Joint Readmission Committee recommendation may be agreed to by the representatives of the Union in the Joint Committee without further decision of the Council.

Done at Luxembourg, 11 April 2016.

For the Council

The President

M.H.P. VAN DAM
