# Humanitarian visas

European Parliament procedure 2018/2271(INL) (INL - Legislative initiative procedure, 8th term, committee LIBE). Stage: Procedure completed. 36 committee amendments tabled by 13 Members between 2018-11-30 and 2018-11-30.

## What the amendments focus on

This dossier concerns humanitarian visas. The amendments are divided: some reject any proposal for a European Humanitarian Visa, citing a prior Parliament rejection and the Court of Justice ruling in Case C-638/16, and propose reception centres in third countries and tackling smuggling and root causes of migration; others provide that Member States may issue such a visa to persons seeking international protection to enter solely to apply, complementary to national procedures.
