to the Agreement on the Member States that do not fully apply the Schengen acquis
Those Member States which are bound by the Schengen acquis but which do not issue yet Schengen visas,
while awaiting the relevant decision of the Council to that end, shall issue national visas the validity of
which is limited to their own territory.
In accordance with Decision No 582/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June
2008 introducing a simplified regime for the control of persons at the external borders based on the
unilateral recognition by Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania of certain documents as equivalent to their national
visas for the purposes of transit through their territories ( 1 ), harmonised measures have been taken in order
to simplify the transit of holders of Schengen visa and Schengen residence permits through the territory of
the Member States that do not fully apply the Schengen acquis yet.

Joint Declaration on Article 10 of the agreement on diplomatic passports
The Union or Armenia might invoke a partial suspension of the agreement and in particular of Article 10,
in accordance with the procedure set up by Article 14(5), if the implementation of Article 10 is abused by
the other Party or leads to a threat to public security.
In case of suspension of the implementation of Article 10, both Parties shall initiate consultations within the
framework of the Joint Committee set up by the Agreement with a view to solve the problems that lead to
the suspension.
As a priority, both Parties declare their commitment to ensure a high level of document security for
diplomatic passports, in particular by integrating biometric identifiers. For the Union, this will be
ensured in compliance with the requirements set out in 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 ( 1 ).
European Union Declaration on documents to be submitted when applying for short stay visas
The European Union will intensify efforts and endeavour to draw up, before the entry into force of the
Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Armenia on the facilitation of the issuance of
visas, a list of minimum requirements in order to ensure that Armenian applicants are given coherent and
uniform basic information, in accordance with point (a) of Article 47(1) of the Visa Code, and are required
to submit, in principle, the same supporting documents.
The information mentioned above is to be disseminated widely (on the information board of consulates, in
leaflets, on websites, etc.).

Joint Declaration concerning Denmark
The Parties take note that the present Agreement does not apply to the procedures for issuing visas by the
diplomatic missions and consular services of Denmark.
In such circumstances, it is appropriate that the authorities of Denmark and of Armenia conclude, without
delay, a bilateral agreement on the facilitation of the issuance of short-stay visas in similar terms as the
Agreement between the Union and Armenia.
Joint declaration concerning the United Kingdom and Ireland
The Parties take note that the present Agreement does not apply to the territory of the United Kingdom and
Ireland.
In such circumstances, it is appropriate that the authorities of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Armenia
conclude bilateral agreements on the facilitation of the issuance of visas.
Joint declaration concerning Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein
The Parties take note of the close relationship between the Union and Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein,
and Norway, particularly by virtue of the Agreements of 18 May 1999 and 26 October 2004 concerning
the association of these countries with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen
acquis.
In such circumstances, it is appropriate that the authorities of Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and
Norway and Armenia conclude, without delay, bilateral agreements on the facilitation of the issuance of
short-stay visas in similar terms as the Agreement between the Union and Armenia.
Joint declaration on cooperation on travel documents
The Parties agree that the Joint Committee established under Article 12 of the Agreement, when monitoring
the implementation of the Agreement, should evaluate the impact of the level of security of the respective
travel documents on the functioning of the Agreement. To that end, the Parties agree to regularly inform
each other about the measures taken for avoiding the proliferation of travel documents, developing the
technical aspects of travel document security as well as regarding the personalisation process of the issuance
of travel documents.
