Abstract: On 29 May 2007, the European Commission organised a public hearing on the Green Paper on diplomatic and consular protection of Union citizens in third countries. The hearing, which was open to all interested parties, was an opportunity to launch an interesting debate on the issue.
The public hearing was structured around the four main themes developed by the Commission in its Green Paper, namely:
1) The information of citizens of the Union on their right to diplomatic and consular protection;
2) The scope of protection for citizens;
3) The structures and resources required and the need for clear burden-sharing rules and
4) The consent of third country authorities
