| Sep 12, 2022 at 6:32 | comment | added | phoog | @MarkJohnson do you imagine that the emphasized "without prejudice" clause preserves the provisions of the 1957 agreement? If so then Germany would be able to require visas of French citizens coming for a long stay or to work: "Valid passports and visas may be required for all visits of more than three months' duration or whenever the territory of another Party is entered for the purpose of pursuing a gainful activity." | |

| Sep 12, 2022 at 6:20 | comment | added | phoog | @MarkJohnson Look at it this way: what would a German police officer do with someone who claimed French citizenship but who only had a US passport for identification? The person isn't violating any laws unless the claim is incorrect. | |
| Sep 12, 2022 at 6:13 | comment | added | phoog | @MarkJohnson the 1957 agreement is as distinct from the 2004 directive as the Council of Europe is from the European Union. The fact that there is a list of documents that satisfy the 1957 agreement does not prevent other documents from satisfying the 2004 directive. | |
