A visa fee reduction or waiver for nationals of a third country may also be the result of a visa facilitation agreement concluded between the European Community and that third country consistent with the Community's overall approach to visa facilitation agreements.

The Council and Commission confirm their support for the development of visa facilitation agreements with third countries in accordance with the process and considerations set down in the common approach on visa facilitation, emphasising the need to negotiate parallel agreements on readmission, with a view to the simultaneous entry into force of such agreements.
