   ▸ AIAI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

   The revised text broadens grounds for suspending visa exemptions, adding external relations, human rights, hybrid threats, and investor citizenship schemes. It strengthens monitoring and reporting, requiring periodic reports and assessments of proportionality and consequences of suspensions. It introduces targeted suspensions for certain passport holders and new procedures for Annex I countries. It updates Article 7 to consider Member State measures and external relations impacts. The other changes are formal: updated recitals and cross-references.
