(3) In particular, the use of the mechanism should be facilitated by shortening reference periods and deadlines allowing for a faster procedure and by extending the possible grounds of suspension, which should include a substantial increase in the number of rejected readmission applications for third- country nationals having transited through the third country concerned, where a readmission agreement concluded between the Union or a Member State and that third country provides for such a readmission obligation. The Commission should also be able to trigger the mechanism in case the third country fails to cooperate on readmission, in particular where a readmission agreement has been concluded between the third country concerned and the Union, as well as in the situation if the Commission, following its evaluation, considers that a third country has stepped away from the accomplished benchmarks which were fulfilled in the framework of the visa liberalization dialogue, upon which the visa-free regime was granted.
