Schengen Visa - BNL2 code?

[RiLaw]

Hi,

My colleague recently obtained a multi-entry Schengen visa. In the remarks section it has the code BNL2 - I'd be very grateful if someone could explain what this code stands for. She applied for it through the Belgian visa centre as that was the country of her visit business trip but she is concerned that the visa has been restricted to Benelux countries rather than all Schengen countries.

Thanks
Richard

The European Commission has adopted today a proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a Community Code on Visas.

This proposal incorporates all legal instruments governing decisions in relation to the conditions and procedures for issuing visas into one Code on Visas. This contributes to enhance transparency and to clarify the existing rules, increases the harmonization of procedures and strengthens legal certainty and procedural guarantees.

The proposal is part of the objectives of the Hague programme to facilitating legitimate travel and to tackle illegal immigration through further harmonization of national legislation and handling practices at local consular missions.
