Recital 26

Council Regulation (EU) 2025/2033 of 23 October 2025 amending Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 concerning restrictive measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine · European Union

(26) Within the Schengen area and when traveling to a Member State other than that of their accreditation, Decision (CFSP) 2025/2032 establishes a prior notification mechanism for Russian diplomats and consular officers, as well as for members of the administrative and technical staff or of the service staff of diplomatic missions or consular posts of Russia, and for their family members. That prior notification mechanism aims at ensuring the awareness of Member States of related movements, against a backdrop of increasing hostile intelligence activities that support Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Decision (CFSP) 2025/2032 also provides that Member States willing to do so, may impose an authorisation requirement for travel to their territories of such individuals, based on visas or residence permits issued by another State.
