    The EU: your lifeline abroad in case of emergency.    Losing your passport doesn't have to turn into a disaster!  The EU will stand by you.    𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲?  If you need help from your embassy or consulate outside the EU, and your own country does not have one there, you can get help from another EU country.    And because we know this right is important to you, we recently proposed to revise our EU #ConsularProtection Directive to strengthen even further coordination between EU countries.    With consular protection, make hay while the sun shines!     #EUintheWorld #EuropeanUnion
