An emergency travel document (ETD), the common format of which is shown in Annex I is a travel document which may be issued for a single journey to the applicant's Member State of origin, country of permanent residence or, exceptionally, another destination. It may be issued to nationals of Member States on the authority of the State of which the person is a national.2. ETDs may be issued when all the following conditions are met:(a) the recipient must be a national of a Member State whose passport or travel document has been lost, stolen or destroyed or is temporarily unavailable, and(b) he/she is in the territory of a country where the person's Member State of origin has no accessible diplomatic or consular representation with the capacity to issue a travel document or, where that State is not otherwise represented, and(c) clearance from the authorities of the person's Member State of origin has been obtained.3. Applicants for ETDs should complete an application form and send it together with photocopies certified as true copies by the diplomatic post of any available proof of identity and nationality, to an authority designated to that effect of the applicant's Member State of origin. This need not necessarily be the nearest one if another authority in the area would be more appropriate. The issuing post will collect from the applicant and will retain such charges and fees as would normally be levied by them for issuing an emergency passport. Applicants with insufficient funds to cover other local related expenditure will receive, where appropriate, the necessary funds in accordance with instructions given by the Member State of origin at the time of the application.4. An ETD should be made valid for barely longer than the minimum period required for completion of the journey for which it is issued. In calculating this period, allowances should be made for necessary overnight stops and for making travel connections.5. For recording purposes, a photocopy of each document issued should be kept at the issuing post and another should be sent to the authority of the applicant's Member State of origin.6. Each Member State may extend the application of these rules to other persons connected with it and whom it is willing to admit.ANNEX III SECURITY MEASURES FOR EMERGENCY TRAVEL DOCUMENTS Emergency travel documents (ETDs) shall be produced and issued in compliance with the following security measures:1. Size open: 18 × 13 cm,folded: 9 × 13 cm.2. Paper ETDs shall be printed on security paper, free of optical brighteners (approximately 90 g/m²), using a standard 'CHAIN WIRES` watermark legally protected for the manufacturer of the document, with two invisible fibres (blue and yellow, SSI/05) fluorescent under ultraviolet light and reagents against chemical erasure.3. Numbering system Each Member State shall provide the documents with a centralized numbering system, combined with the initials of the issuing Member State, as follows:>TABLE>The number shall be printed in letterpress on pages 1 and 4 of the document, using OCR-B characters, in black colour with green fluorescence under UV light.4. Attaching the bearer's photograph The bearer's photograph must be securely attached to the document so as to prevent easy removal. The photograph shall be laminated in accordance with national practice, it being understood that Member States shall take the necessary steps to ensure an appropriate level of security for the document.5. Entry of the bearer's personal details There shall be a consistent approach to the entry of the bearer's personal details on the ETD form. These details shall be entered in either handwritten or typewritten form, and shall be covered with a laminate.6. Seal of the issuing authority When an ETD is issued, the seal of the issuing authority shall be affixed partly on the document and partly on the bearer's photograph.7. Additional security features ETDs shall have a guilloche protective background with indirect letterpress printing in four colours on the pages where data is to be entered with due consideration to iridescent printing.The following printing technology shall be used:- INTAGLIO, recto including text on page 1, latent image and microprint in blue reflex ink,- OFFSET, recto and verso, in two colours and IRIS,- 1st: text, in blue reflex,- 2nd: antiscanner background, in light blue,- 3rd: guilloche background with IRIS effect in two colours, green and violet, the second one with yellow fluorescence under UV light.The inks used shall be copy-resistant and any attempt to make a colour copy shall result in clearly recognizable colour deviations. Moreover, at least one colour shall contain fluorescent agents. The inks shall also contain reagents against chemical erasure.8. Printing forms Multicoloured processed guilloche background printing forms specially designed for this document with integrated microtypes shall be used.9. Storage of blank ETD forms In order to minimize the risk of forgery or counterfeiting, all Member States shall ensure theft-proof storage of blank ETD forms.
