art_25__para_1

1. A visa with limited territorial validity shall be issued exceptionally, in the following cases: when the Member State concerned considers it necessary on humanitarian grounds, for reasons of national interest or because of international obligations, or to derogate from the principle that the entry conditions laid down in Article 5(1)(a), (c), (d) and (e) of the Schengen Borders Code must be fulfilled; to issue a visa despite an objection by the Member State consulted in accordance with Article 22 to the issuing of a uniform visa; or to issue a visa for reasons of urgency, although the prior consultation in accordance with Article 22 has not been carried out; when for reasons deemed justified by the consulate, a new visa is issued for a stay during the same six-month period to an applicant who, over this six-month period, has already used a uniform visa or a visa with limited territorial validity allowing for a stay of three months.
