Amendment 19 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 14
(14) In order to clarify which coordination and cooperation measures are necessary the ambit of cooperation and coordination should be specified. Consular protection for unrepresented citizens includes assistance in a number of typical situations, such as in case of arrest or detention, serious accident or serious illness and death, as well as with regard to providing relief and repatriation in case of distress and the issuance of emergency documents, and in crisis situations. Since the necessary protection always depends on the factual situation, consular protection should not be limited to those situations specifically mentioned in this Directive.
