"France and its European partners from the G5 (the UK, Spain, France, Germany and Italy) will reduce the number of visas issued to be issued to citizens from Georgia, Mauritania, Pakistan, Egypt and Cameroon if these countries fail to cooperate with the European states over the return of their illegal immigrants. These five countries are described as “non-cooperative” . The G5 “gave them [these five 'non-cooperative' countries] three months, starting from August 1, to change their attitude."
Starting from September 1 an “obligation to make a ‘declaration of return’" will be implemented in "a dozen consulates,” including the Tbilis consulate. This concerns those people who were granted short-stay visas. " [Snippet]
