The EU hopes third countries will accept this, many have not in the past: It is defined as:

"The document shall be valid for a single journey to the third country of return."

The changes suggested by the Presidency, which have not yet been approved, are underlined." and LIMITE doc no: 7336-16 (29.3.16, 87 pages, pdf): "In addition, the recent suggestions introduced following the meeting of the JHA Counsellors on 21 March 2016 are highlighted."
