It was confirmed on 3 May 2017 that the Council reached an informal agreement with the European Parliament on the proposal for a regulation amending regulation 1683/1995 laying down a uniform format for visas. The proposal was put forward in 2015, twenty years after the regulation that it seeks to amend. The regulation was then to be submitted to the European Parliament for a vote at first reading.
