Mechanism to suspend short-stay visa-free travel into the EU has been reformed to include human rights breaches, and Israel could be one of the first countries affected.

歐盟暫停短期免簽待遇的機制已被改革，新增人權侵害作為理由，而以色列可能是最早受影響的國家之一。

Israel is set to be one of the first countries targeted by a reform of the mechanism to suspend short-stay visa-free travel into the EU and Schengen countries agreed on Tuesday by the European Parliament and the Council according to European Parliament sources.

根據歐洲議會消息人士指出，歐洲議會與歐盟理事會於週二達成協議，改革暫停短期免簽待遇的機制，而以色列預計將成為首批被針對的國家之一。

The new rules amend the grounds for suspending visa free schemes to include violations of human rights, which could lead to the imposition of mandatory visas for Israeli citizens, among others, sources from the Parliament familiar with the dossier told Euronews.

議會內部熟悉此案的消息人士告訴《歐洲新聞》，新規則修改了暫停免簽計畫的依據，納入人權侵害作為考量，這可能導致以色列公民等人被強制要求申請簽證。

Currently nationals from 61 countries - including Australia, Brazil, Israel, Japan, UK, Ukraine and the Western Balkan states - may travel to the Schengen area for short stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

目前共有61個國家的公民，包括澳洲、巴西、以色列、日本、英國、烏克蘭與西巴爾幹國家，可於180天內在申根區短期停留最多90天。

The EU can suspend the visa-free regime under specific conditions. So far this has happened only once — with the Republic of Vanuatu — due to its citizenship-by-investment scheme, which granted wealthy Russians Vanuatan passports allowing free travel into the EU.

歐盟可在特定條件下暫停免簽待遇。目前僅曾針對一國實施過——萬那杜共和國，因該國推行「投資入籍計畫」，使得富有的俄羅斯人取得萬那杜護照並自由進入歐盟。

Under the new agreement between EU lawmakers and member states, the suspension mechanism will now be easier to trigger however, as the thresholds have been lowered and new criteria added.

根據歐盟立法機關與成員國達成的新協議，該機制的觸發門檻已被降低，並新增了新的標準，使得未來更容易啟動暫停程序。

For example, violations of the United Nations Charter, severe breaches of international human rights or humanitarian law, and non-compliance with international court decisions will now be valid grounds for suspending a country’s visa-free status.

例如，違反《聯合國憲章》、嚴重侵犯國際人權或人道法、以及不遵守國際法院判決，現在都可以成為中止某國免簽資格的正當理由。

“This tool helps us deliver the values that have built our community and allows us to enforce human rights and respect for international law,” Slovenian MEP Matjaž Nemec, the rapporteur for the bill in Parliament, told Euronews. “No specific country is being targeted,” he added.

斯洛維尼亞籍歐洲議會議員、該法案報告人Matjaž Nemec告訴《歐洲新聞》：「這項工具讓我們能實踐歐盟所建立的價值觀，並促進人權與對國際法的尊重。」他補充說：「這項法案並未針對任何特定國家。」

However, Israel's status is among countries most at risk of having its status challenged under the new procedure, Parliament sources told Euronews, due to accusations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in its war on Gaza — allegations that have been raised by the UN. Serbia is another likely to be targeted, due to human rights concerns highlighted by the UN, the sources said.

然而，議會消息人士向《歐洲新聞》表示，以色列是在新程序下最有可能被挑戰其免簽地位的國家之一，原因是其在加薩戰爭中遭到聯合國指控涉嫌戰爭罪與危害人類罪。消息人士並指出，塞爾維亞亦因聯合國關切的人權問題而可能成為另一個目標。

Under the procedure, the European Commission has to issue an implementing act to suspend the visa-free scheme for a particular country for one year. This decision only requires approval by the member states, and can be blocked by a qualified majority. To extend the suspension, the Commission must issue a delegated act, which can instead be blocked by either the Council or the Parliament.

根據程序，歐洲委員會必須頒布一項「實施法案」，以暫停某國的免簽資格一年。該決定只需成員國通過，若要阻止，必須取得合格多數否決。若要延長暫停，則需歐委會發布「授權法案」，此類法案則可被理事會或議會單方面阻擋。

Countries in the Schengen area — which includes all EU states except Cyprus, Ireland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland — may also push the Commission to start the procedure, by notifying that they believe the conditions for triggering the mechanism are met. The Parliament may also propose a non-binding resolution recommending suspension of a country’s visa-free status.

申根區國家——包含所有歐盟成員國，除了賽普勒斯、愛爾蘭、冰島、列支敦斯登、挪威與瑞士——也可以向歐委會通報，主張觸發條件已達成，進而推動啟動程序。歐洲議會也可以提出不具約束力的決議，建議中止某國的免簽資格。

“It is more likely that an EU member state would raise the issue of Israel, rather than the Parliament,” a source familiar with the matter told Euronews, adding that several political groups in the Parliament pushed for the inclusion of human rights violations with Israel in mind.

一名熟悉此案的消息人士告訴《歐洲新聞》：「更可能是歐盟成員國，而非議會，會率先提出以色列的問題。」該消息人士補充說，議會中有多個政治團體推動將人權侵害納入考量，正是針對以色列所設。

Could EU use visa-free travel change to pressure Israel?

歐盟會利用免簽政策變更來施壓以色列嗎？

https://ppt.cc/f61yQx

The EU is moving to overhaul how it revokes visa-free access for human rights violators, while also reviewing trade deal with Israel

歐盟正著手改革針對人權侵犯者取消免簽待遇的程序，同時也在重新審視與以色列的貿易協議。

- The agreement still needs to be formally adopted, but experts see it as ‘politically significant’

－該協議仍需正式通過，但專家認為這在政治上意義重大。

- European Parliament lawmaker Matjaz Nemec says Israel meets the criteria, but doubts ‘the current right-wing-dominated European Parliament could actually pass such a resolution’

－歐洲議會議員馬提亞日·內梅茨表示，以色列符合被制裁的條件，但他懷疑「目前由右翼主導的歐洲議會能真正通過相關決議」。

The EU is advancing plans to make it easier to suspend visa-free travel for countries accused of serious human rights abuses – a shift that observers say could give Brussels new leverage to pressure Israel over its actions in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

歐盟正在推進一項計劃，使得針對被指控嚴重侵犯人權的國家更容易暫停其免簽待遇——觀察人士指出，這項變化可能讓布魯塞爾在對以色列於加薩與被佔領西岸的行動施壓時擁有新的外交槓桿。

On Tuesday, the European Parliament and European Council reached a political agreement to overhaul how the bloc revokes visa-free access, granting the EU sharper tools to act when third countries violate international law.

週二，歐洲議會與歐盟理事會達成一項政治協議，改革免簽待遇撤銷機制，使歐盟在面對第三國違反國際法時，擁有更具效力的手段。

Janne Ojamo, the European Parliament’s press officer, confirmed to Anadolu that the proposed rules would apply to all 61 countries currently enjoying visa-free Schengen access, including Israel.

歐洲議會新聞官Janne Ojamo向《安納杜魯新聞社》證實，該提案將適用於目前享有申根免簽待遇的61個國家，包括以色列。

The changes allow for suspensions if a country breaches the UN Charter, flouts international human rights or humanitarian law, or disregards international court rulings.

根據新規定，若一個國家違反《聯合國憲章》、漠視國際人權或人道法，或無視國際法院判決，歐盟即可暫停其免簽待遇。

Israel currently faces genocide allegations at the International Court of Justice, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is subject to an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for alleged war crimes.

以色列目前面臨國際法院指控其犯下種族滅絕罪，總理納坦雅胡也因涉嫌戰爭罪而遭國際刑事法院發出逮捕令。

Under the revised EU visa rules, such developments could justify requiring Israeli travelers to apply for visas.

根據修訂後的歐盟簽證規則，這些情況將足以構成要求以色列旅客申請簽證的理由。

While the deal still needs to be formally adopted by both the European Parliament and the European Council, it marks a significant shift in the EU’s willingness to leverage visa access as a diplomatic tool.

雖然該協議仍需歐洲議會與理事會正式通過，但它已標誌著歐盟願意將免簽待遇作為外交工具使用的重大轉變。

“That process will take some time. So, while this development is politically significant, translating that into legal significance still lies in the future,” Gavin Barrett, professor of EU constitutional and economic law at University College Dublin, told Anadolu.

都柏林大學歐盟憲法與經濟法教授Gavin Barrett告訴《安納杜魯新聞社》：「這一程序將花費一些時間。因此，儘管這項發展在政治上意義重大，但要轉化為法律效力仍需時間。」

“The main purpose of this amendment is to give the EU more flexibility to temporarily suspend its visa-free travel schemes where it feels that these are being misused. It is true, however, that it can also be deployed for severe breaches of international human rights or humanitarian law,” he explained.

他解釋說：「這項修正案的主要目的是讓歐盟在認為免簽待遇被濫用時擁有更大的靈活性以進行暫停。不過，這也確實可以用於因嚴重違反國際人權或人道法而採取行動。」

The EU has also recently said it plans to review its trade and cooperation agreement with Israel – a deal that gave Tel Aviv significant trade and economic privileges, among other things, and was dependent on respecting human rights and international law.

歐盟最近也表示，計畫審查與以色列的貿易與合作協議——這項協議提供特拉維夫重大經貿特權，其前提是尊重人權與國際法。

Barrett said the ability to revoke visa-free travel could be even more effective than suspending the trade agreement, as it would allow the EU to target specific government officials.

Barrett指出，相較於中止貿易協議，取消免簽待遇可能更有效，因為這讓歐盟可以具體針對特定的政府官員。

▌‘Conditions would be met for Israel’ 「以色列符合條件」

Matjaz Nemec, the European Parliament’s lead negotiator on visa policy, said the suspension process could be triggered by any EU member state or the parliament itself.

歐洲議會簽證政策首席協商代表馬提亞日·內梅茨表示，任何歐盟成員國或歐洲議會本身都可啟動暫停程序。

Once triggered, the commission would be required to assess the situation and could propose suspending visa-free travel for an initial period of 12 months if the criteria are met.

一旦程序啟動，歐盟執委會將需評估情勢，並在符合條件下，建議初步暫停12個月的免簽待遇。

“The suspension can be partial, for example, limited to diplomatic or service passports,” Nemec explained.

內梅茨解釋：「該暫停可以是局部的，例如僅限於外交或公務護照。」

Still, he said, the ultimate decision lies with the European Commission, which could block certain applications.

不過他也指出，最終決定權仍在歐洲執委會手中，該機構可否決某些申請。

“While I personally do believe the conditions under the regulation would be met for Israel, I doubt that the current right-wing-dominated European Parliament could actually pass such a resolution,” he told Anadolu.

他告訴《安納杜魯新聞社》：「儘管我個人認為以色列確實符合規定條件，但我懷疑當前由右翼主導的歐洲議會能通過這樣的決議。」

▌Reviewing ties with Israel 檢討與以色列的關係

In parallel, the EU is preparing to decide whether to impose trade sanctions on Israel under the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which links trade benefits to respect for human rights.

同時，歐盟正準備決定是否根據《歐以聯盟協定》對以色列實施貿易制裁，該協議將貿易利益與尊重人權掛鉤。

After months of inaction, European capitals have grown more critical of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, and 17 of the EU’s 27 member states backed a Dutch-led initiative to review Israel’s compliance with the agreement in May.

在幾個月毫無行動後，歐洲各國對以色列在加薩的「種族滅絕式戰爭」越來越批評，27個歐盟成員國中有17國於今年5月支持由荷蘭主導的行動，要求檢視以色列是否遵守該協議。

The review, originally proposed by Spain and Ireland in February 2024, is expected to conclude by the EU foreign ministers’ meeting on June 23.

該檢討最初由西班牙與愛爾蘭於2024年2月提出，預計將在6月23日的歐盟外長會議上得出結論。

If Israel is found in breach, the EU could vote by qualified majority to suspend preferential trade terms. The consequences could be significant, given that the EU is Israel’s largest trading partner.

若認定以色列違約，歐盟可透過合格多數投票來中止優惠貿易條款。鑒於歐盟是以色列最大的貿易夥伴，其後果將非常重大。

Although a complete suspension is considered unlikely due to resistance from countries like Hungary, more targeted actions remain possible, including limiting Israeli participation in EU-funded initiatives like the Horizon Europe research program or curbing specific trade privileges.

雖然由於匈牙利等國的反對，全面中止協議的可能性不高，但仍可能採取針對性措施，包括限制以色列參與如「歐盟地平線科研計畫」等歐盟資助項目，或限制特定貿易優惠。
