Summary

With the bill, the EU return certificate will also be added to the identity documents issued under the law. An EU return certificate is issued to a citizen of an unrepresented member state in a third country or the EU, whose passport or travel document has been lost, stolen or destroyed or is temporarily unavailable, or, for example, to a child born during the trip. A person is unrepresented if his/her country of citizenship does not have a third country a foreign mission in the country or the European Union, or if the foreign mission or honorary consul there is not able to issue a return document in a specific case. Issuance of the EU return certificate is stipulated by the decision of the Council of the European Union. Until now, the decision of the Council of the EU has been implemented on the basis of the statute of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the directive of the Minister of Foreign Affairs based on it. According to the bill, the state fee rates for the operations performed in the foreign mission will also be changed for and new state fees will be established for operations that have not yet been taxed. State fees are adjusted to actual expenses. The regulation regarding state fees related to PPA operations will also be modernized and the rates of state fees charged for applications submitted in PPA services, by post or e-mail or in a self-service environment will be differentiated.
