Prior consultation before granting or extending a residence permit or long-stay visa Where a Member State considers granting or extending a residence permit or long-stay visa to a third-country national who is the subject of an alert for refusal of entry and stay entered by another Member State, the Member States involved shall consult each other through the exchange of supplementary information, in accordance with the following rules: the granting Member State shall consult the issuing Member State prior to granting or extending the residence permit or long-stay visa; the issuing Member State shall reply to the consultation request within 10 calendar days; the absence of a reply by the deadline referred to in point (b) shall mean that the issuing Member State does not object to the granting or extending of the residence permit or long-stay visa;

when making the relevant decision, the granting Member State shall take into account the reasons for the decision of the issuing Member State and shall consider, in accordance with national law, any threat to public policy or to public security which the presence of the third-country national in question on the territory of the Member States may pose; the granting Member State shall notify the issuing Member State of its decision; and where the granting Member State notifies the issuing Member State that it intends to grant or extend the residence permit or long-stay visa or that it has decided to do so, the issuing Member State shall delete the alert for refusal of entry and stay. The final decision on whether to grant a residence permit or long-stay visa to a third-country national rests with the granting Member State.
