Paragraph 32
32. Welcomes the recent extension of the visa waiver programme to another six EU Member States; however calls once again on the US to lift the visa regime for the remaining six Member States and to treat all EU-citizens equally and on the basis of full reciprocity; asks the Commission to treat this as a priority matter with the new US administration; stresses the major progress made towards this objective in real terms, for example the introduction in Romania from January 2009 of the new ‘biometric’ passports (containing chips storing the personal data of holders with 50 safety features, 18 more than current passports); considers however that biometric passports should not be an eliminatory conditions for inclusion in the visa waiver programme.
