European Parliament procedure 2007/0112(CNS) (CNS, 6th term, committee LIBE). Stage: None. 4 committee amendments tabled by 2 Members between 2008-03-05 and 2008-03-05.

## What the amendments focus on

This dossier extends the scope of Directive 2003/109/EC to beneficiaries of international protection. The few amendments address informing other Member States of the protection background of long-term residents in line with the principle of non-refoulement, ensure that granting long-term resident status does not revoke refugees' or subsidiary protection beneficiaries' rights, and exempt beneficiaries without access to employment or the labour market from a requirement.
