table>(1)Decision 2007/641/EC (5) concluding consultations with the Republic of the Fiji Islands under Article 96 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement and Article 37 of the Development Cooperation Instrument was adopted to implement appropriate measures following the violation of the essential elements referred to in Article 9 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, and the values referred to in Article 3 of the Development Cooperation Instrument.
(2)Those measures have been extended by Decision 2009/735/EC (6), and subsequently by Decision 2010/208/EU (7) since, not only are important commitments concerning essential elements of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement and the Development Cooperation Instrument yet to be implemented by the Republic of the Fiji Islands, but recently, there have also been important regressive developments concerning a number of these commitments.

(3)The period of application of the measures in Decision 2007/641/EC expires on 1 October 2010. It is appropriate to prolong its validity and the content of the appropriate measures should be technically updated accordingly,
