The Government approved on Tuesday, through a decision, the start of bilateral negotiations with the Republic of Turkey for the conclusion of a new agreement based on the Schengen acquis in terms of visas.According to a press release from the Government, the governmental agreement with Turkey regarding the reciprocal travel of citizens, signed in Bucharest on February 17, 2004, as amended by two Protocols signed between the two governments, in Bucharest, on October 25, 2007, was partially denounced, respectively, in Ankara, on September 19, 2013."The articles that provided visa exemptions for the citizens of the two states were denounced. They referred, for example, to holders of diplomatic, service or special passports, to employees of companies from the two states, who work in air, maritime transport, rail or road transport, of goods or people. Also, businessmen or representatives of commercial companies. The reason is the alignment of the bilateral agreement with the Schengen acquis, which Romania applies in its entirety from March 31, 2024. Bilateral negotiations will begin for the conclusion of a new agreement, based on the Schengen acquis in terms of visas. The partial denunciation does not affect the execution of the rest of the provisions of the agreement," the release said.
