Consular protection for unrepresented citizens of the Union in third countries

LIBE · Lena Düpont (EPP)

7 October 2026 | Parliament adopted its opinion (consultation)

What's next: Now in the Council's hands: it can adopt the act (usually by unanimity), amend it, or park it indefinitely — consultation sets no deadline.

Summary: This proposal aims to allow citizens whose own country cannot help them while abroad to seek assistance from other countries in the EU instead. It seeks to ensure that no EU citizen is left without consular support when they need it in non-EU countries.
