Having regard to the initiative of the Kingdom of Belgium,
Whereas:
(1) Harmonisation of visa policy entails in particular that the Schengen acquis should lay down rules concerning the procedures and conditions for issuing visas.

Given that this Decision aims to build upon the Schengen acquis under the provisions of Title IV of the Third Part of the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark will, in accordance with Article 5 of the said Protocol, decide within a period of six months after the Council has adopted this Decision whether it will transpose it into its national law.
(3) As regards the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis falling within the area referred to in Article 1, point B, of Council Decision 1999/437/EC of 17 May 1999 on certain arrangements for the application of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis(2).
(4) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Ireland and the United Kingdom are not participating in the adoption of this Decision and are not therefore bound by it or subject to its application,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The following sentence shall be added after the first sentence of Section 1 of Part III of the Common Consular Instructions (CCI): "Applications for a uniform visa must be made using the harmonised form of which a specimen is given in Annex 16."
Article 2
The specimen harmonised uniform-visa application form annexed to this Decision shall become Annex 16 to the CCI.
Article 3
This Decision shall apply as from 1 January 2003.
Article 4
This Decision is addressed to the Member States in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community.
