COUNCIL DECISION
of 27 September 2010
amending and extending the period of application of Decision 2007/641/EC 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
(2010/589/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 217 thereof,
Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1) and revised in Luxembourg on 25 June 2005 (2) (the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement), and in particular Article 96 thereof,
Having regard to the Internal Agreement between the representatives of the governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on measures to be taken and procedures to be followed for the implementation of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement (3), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (4) (the Development Cooperation Instrument), and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(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, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 2007/641/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. |
in Article 3, the second paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘It shall expire on 31 March 2011. It shall be reviewed regularly at least once every six months.’; |
2. |
the Annex is replaced by the text appearing in the Annex to this Decision. |
Article 2
The letter in the Annex to this Decision shall be addressed to the Republic of the Fiji Islands.
