In order to achieve a pragmatic approach and to avoid overburdening the Schengen consultation network by sending a high number of error messages when a Member State’s message transfer agent (MTA) seems to be temporarily unavailable, the resend procedure should be modified. In order to avoid inconsistent use of different visa type codes which could lead to misinterpretations in the Schengen consultation procedure, a common approach is needed when visas D + C are subject to the consul- tation procedure. () O] L 116, 26.4.2001, p. 2. ) Taking into account the inputs from different Member States and in order to simplify the Schengen consultation procedure, a single code for each visa type should be used.
