I had my passport renewed (yay!) and I noticed that Italian passports now have the text of Article 23 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the printed at the end.

The article extends consular protection to all the EU citizens that are in a foreign country where any EU member has a diplomatic representative.

For instance, Italy has no embassies in North Korea, but I am entitled to consular protection in Pyongyang through the Swedish embassy.

Isn't it awesome?
