(1) An agreement is considered necessary to provide the legal basis for the absence of border control between Italy and San Marino.
(2) It appears beneficial to conclude such an agreement in view of San Marino’s geographical proximity and economic interdependence with the Union.
(3) It is required to ensure the fair treatment of third-country nationals possessing residence permits issued by San Marino at the Union’s external borders.
(4) The issuance of such residence permits by San Marino has to be conditional on a binding opinion by Italy based on its security assessment.
(5) The agreement should allow for the conclusion of implementing administrative arrangements of an operational nature between Italy and San Marino on matters covered by this agreement provided that their provisions are compatible with those of the agreement and with Union law.
(6) Negotiations should therefore be opened with a view to concluding an agreement between the European Union, of the one part, and San Marino, of the other part. The Commission should be nominated as the Union negotiator.
