Article 8d
1. The Commission shall report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the monitoring conducted pursuant to Article 8c(1) in relation to the third countries listed in Annex II as a result of the successful conclusion of a visa liberalisation dialogue with the Union. That reporting shall take place at least once a year and for a period of seven years from the date of entry into force of the legal act exempting the nationals of the third country concerned from the visa requirement. After that period, the Commission shall report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the monitoring whenever it considers it necessary or at the request of the European Parliament or the Council. Such reports shall focus on the third countries which the Commission considers, based on concrete and reliable information, as no longer complying with certain specific requirements, based on Article 1, which were used to assess the appropriateness of granting their nationals an exemption from the visa requirement. 2. In addition to the reporting obligations provided for in paragraph 1 of this Article, whenever it considers it necessary or at the request of the European Parliament or the Council, the Commission shall report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the monitoring conducted pursuant to Article 8c(1) in relation to other third countries listed in Annex II.
