COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL

Draft Council Regulation laying down the form of the laissez-passer issued to members and servants of the institutions

COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL

Draft Council Regulation laying down the form of the laissez-passer issued to members and servants of the institutions

1. LEGAL BASIS

The Community institutions issue laissez-passer to their members and certain servants in accordance with the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities, the Council Regulations adopted pursuant to that Protocol and the Staff Regulations of Officials of the Communities and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants.

The first subparagraph of Article 7(1) of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities of 8 April 1965[1] stipulates that "Laissez-passer in a form to be prescribed by the Council, which shall be recognized as valid travel documents[2] by the authorities of the Member States, may be issued to members and servants of the institutions of the Communities by the Presidents of these institutions. These laissez-passer shall be issued to officials and other servants under conditions laid down in the Staff Regulations of officials and the Conditions of Employment of other servants of the Communities".

The second subparagraph of the same paragraph states that "the Commission may conclude agreements for these laissez-passer to be recognized as valid travel documents within the territory of third countries".

On the basis of the above-mentioned provisions, the Council adopted Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 1826/69 of the Council of 15 September 1969 laying down the form of the 'laissez passer' to be issued to members and servants of the institutions[3]. The Regulation prescribes a single form of laissez-passer for all the institutions that must be issued in the form laid down in the Annex to the Regulation. The Regulation has been amended five times[4] since its adoption in 1969 in order to take account of successive enlargements between 1973 and 1995 and the creation of the European Union.

Concerning officials and other servants of the Communities, the third paragraph of Article 23 of the Staff Regulations stipulates that "The laissez-passer provided for in the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities shall be issued to officials in grades AD 12 to AD 16 and equivalent grades. Where the interests of the service so require, this laissez-passer may be issued, by special decision of the appointing authority, to officials in other grades whose place of employment lies outside the territory of the Member States". Pursuant to the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities, these provisions also apply to temporary staff (Article 11) and contract staff (Article 81).

In addition, on the basis of the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities, the Commission has to date concluded agreements with more than 130 third countries whereby the laissez-passer is recognised as a valid travel document within their territory.

2. CURRENT USE OF THE LAISSEZ-PASSER: STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

In the nearly forty years since its creation, the laissez-passer has proven itself an invaluable working tool. Members and certain servants of the Community institutions have made frequent use of the laissez-passer and continue to do so. Thanks to the agreements concluded by the Commission with a large number of third countries whereby the laissez-passer is recognised as a valid travel document within their territory, members and servants of the institutions can use it during missions and work-related travel in these countries. Moreover, the authorities of a number of these third countries exempt laissez-passer holders from visa requirements, which saves the Community budget significant amounts.

Thus, since its creation the laissez-passer has been an unmitigated success. In 2005, more than 1 650 laissez-passer were issued and/or renewed. Of these, approximately 1 100 laissez-passer were issued to Commission members or staff, in particular staff from the RELEX family of DGs who work outside the European Union and staff who often travel on mission. In 2006, the Commission alone issued or renewed 2 200 laissez-passer.

It cannot be ignored, however, that the laissez-passer in its current form has major weaknesses and no longer guarantees the level of security expected of this type of travel document.

The form of the laissez-passer has not been substantially modified to improve security since 1969. As currently issued to the holder, the laissez-passer contains, for example, a number of handwritten markings and an easily detachable photograph. Initially, the laissez-passer was more or less as secure as the passports and travel documents issued by the Member States. But this is clearly no longer the case. The laissez-passer has not kept pace with technology and is, in its current form, very poorly protected against counterfeiting and falsification.

As a direct result of the laissez-passer's lack of security features, authorities of certain third countries refuse to recognise it as a valid travel document and members and staff of Community institutions occasionally encounter difficulties when crossing certain borders.

3. PURPOSE OF THE COMMUNICATION

It should be remembered that under Article 7 of the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities the Commission has no right to take initiatives in this area. This Communication is being presented in the spirit of good governance and mutual aid between the institutions. This is why the Commission is putting forward a draft Council regulation rather than a proposal.

This draft Council regulation aims to make the laissez-passer a secure, reliable and widely recognised document, in particular by equipping it with security features equivalent to those of the most sophisticated travel documents issued by the Member States.

The laissez-passer, like any travel document, must provide as many security guarantees as possible and be protected effectively from counterfeiting and falsification. To that end, the new laissez-passer is to be compliant with the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organisation, in particular with the standards in Document 9303 on machine readable travel documents, and with the minimum security standards introduced by Council Regulation (EC) No 2252/2004 of 13 December 2004 on standards for security features and biometrics in passports and travel documents issued by Member States[5].

The laissez-passer will offer a storage medium containing the personal data registered on the laissez-passer, a digitised photograph of the bearer's face and digital fingerprints stored in interoperable formats. These biometric identifiers integrated into the laissez-passer will make it possible to establish a reliable link between the legitimate holder of the laissez-passer and the document itself, making the document more secure and contributing appreciably to its protection against fraudulent use.

Given the Commission's level of expertise in this area, the draft regulation stipulates that it will be responsible for adopting the measures necessary for its application. Such measures will include, in particular:

- the determination of the security standards and technical specifications applicable to the laissez-passer, which will refer to Commission Decisions C(2005) 409 of 28 February 2005 and C(2006) 2909 of 28 June 2006 laying down the technical specifications on the standards for security features and biometrics in passports and travel documents issued by Member States, in order to guarantee an equivalent level of security. The Commission will determine which of these specifications must be kept secret in order to prevent counterfeiting and falsification. Such specifications will be communicated only to the body responsible for printing the laissez-passer, the Member States and those persons duly authorised by the Commission;

- the designation of a body responsible for printing the laissez-passer;

- the conclusion of agreements with third countries or the amendment of existing agreements with a view to the laissez-passer being recognised as a valid travel document within the territory of these countries.

The Commission will undertake to inform the Member States, by any appropriate means, of all measures that it intends to adopt to apply the regulation as it is ultimately decided by the Council, including the secret specifications.

In addition, for the purpose of simplification, provision should be made to empower the Commission to revise the annex to the Regulation if, and only if, this becomes necessary to reflect any changes by the Council to the list of official languages of the Union's institutions. Such a provision would eliminate the need to amend the Regulation every time the list of official languages is revised, as was the case in the past.

4. FINANCIAL IMPACT: NUMEROUS PARAMETERS TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT

The new mechanism will be implemented progressively. Once the institutions begin to issue the first secure laissez-passer, they will cease to issue laissez-passer in the form provided for by Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 1826/69. Nevertheless, existing laissez-passer will remain valid until their expiry date and will be replaced gradually during a transition period. Once the transition period is over, all non-secure laissez-passer will have been removed from circulation.

The proposal's financial impact will depend on a significant number of factors, some of which are unclear and difficult to control at this stage. The overall cost of implementing the secure laissez-passer will be a function of the cost of any technical studies carried out prior to its implementation, the cost of the equipment that the institutions will have to acquire and the unit cost of manufacturing the document. The unit cost will depend on the manufacturing constraints (in particular the required deadlines) that will be imposed on the body responsible for printing the laissez-passer.

Moreover, the complexity and diversity of the possible technical solutions for producing the laissez-passer, the need to keep secret certain security standards and technical specifications, the number of units to be produced and the reissue rate are all elements likely to influence the cost of the secure laissez-passer.

Under these conditions, the Commission is not in a position to estimate the financial impact of the secure laissez-passer. Insofar as the options selected by the Council will influence the cost of implementing and managing the new laissez-passer, only the Council will be capable of drawing up a financial statement concerning this project that will apply to all the Community institutions. In particular, the statement will have to explain how to distribute the costs of implementing the Council regulation among the institutions.

The Commission will be able to assist the Council in producing the financial statement.

5. CONCLUSION

Given the foregoing, the Commission hereby submits to the Council for examination a draft regulation laying down the form of the laissez-passer delivered to members and servants of the institutions. It is proposed that this regulation repeal and replace Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 1826/69 of 15 September 1969.

A model of the new laissez-passer is annexed by way of illustration. The Commission will endeavour to ensure that the laissez-passer resembles the model to the greatest degree possible, but cannot rule out the possibility that technical or other considerations will oblige it to make certain changes.

Draft

COUNCIL REGULATION

laying down the form of the laissez-passer issued to members and servants of the institutions

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities annexed to the Treaty establishing a Single Council and a Single Commission of the European Communities, and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Laissez-passer shall be recognised as valid travel documents by the authorities of the Member States and the Commission concludes agreements for them to be recognised as valid travel documents within the territory of third countries.

(2) In order to provide every guarantee of security and, in particular, to prevent falsification, the laissez-passer of the members and servants of the Community institutions must conform to the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organisation – in particular those appearing in Document 9303 on machine-readable travel documents and the minimum security standards in Council Regulation No 2252/2004 laying down the technical specifications on the standards for security features and biometrics in passports and travel documents issued by Member States[6]. It is therefore advisable to establish rules for the laissez-passer that provide such security guarantees.

(3) Biometric identifiers should be integrated into the laissez-passer in order to establish a reliable link between the genuine holder and the document, making an important contribution to ensuring its protection against fraudulent use.

(4) For the purpose of protecting personal data, the laissez-passer should contain no information other than that provided for in this Regulation.

(5) Given the Commission's level of expertise in this area, it should be empowered to adopt the measures necessary for the application of this Regulation, in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data[7].

(6) In particular, the Commission should be empowered to determine the security standards and technical specifications applicable to the laissez-passer, which will refer to Commission Decisions C(2005) 409 of 28 February 2005 and C(2006) 2909 of 28 June 2006 laying down the technical specifications on the standards for security features and biometrics in passports and travel documents issued by Member States, in order to guarantee an equivalent security level. The Commission should determine which of these specifications must be kept secret in order to prevent counterfeiting and falsification.

(7) In order to prevent falsification and fraudulent use of the laissez-passer effectively, the Commission should be instructed to designate a single body to be responsible for printing the laissez-passer for all the institutions. This body should be designated in accordance with the provisions applicable to the award of contracts, in particular those in Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities[8], and taking into account the sensitive nature of the documents to be produced.

(8) Provision should be made for the Commission to amend the Annex to this Regulation to reflect any changes to Council Regulation No 1 of 15 April 1958 determining the languages to be used by the European Economic Community[9].

(9) This Regulation replaces the Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 1826/69 of the Council of 15 September 1969 laying down the form of the 'laissez passer' to be issued to members and servants of the institutions[10]. The latter should therefore be repealed,
