Council Regulation (EEC) No 1360/90 of 7 May 1990 establishing a European Training Foundation (3) has been substantially amended several times. Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.

The Council subsequently extended such aid to other countries of Central and Eastern Europe under relevant legal acts.

On 27 July 1994 the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2063/94 (5) amending Regulation (EEC) No 1360/90, with a view to including in the activities of the European Training Foundation the States receiving assistance under Regulation (Euratom, EEC) No 2053/93 of 19 July 1993 concerning the provision of technical assistance to economic reform and recovery in the independent States of the former Soviet Union and Mongolia (6) (the TACIS Programme).

On 17 July 1998 the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 1572/98 (7) amending Regulation (EEC) No 1360/90 with a view to including in the activities of the European Training Foundation the Mediterranean non-member countries and territories which are beneficiaries of the financial and technical measures to accompany the reform of their economic and social structures pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 1488/96 of 23 July 1996 on financial and technical measures to accompany (MEDA) the reform of economic and social structures in the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership (8).

External assistance programmes relating to the countries covered by the activities of the European Training Foundation are to be replaced by new external relations policy instruments, mainly the instrument established by Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 of 17 July 2006 establishing an Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) (10) and the instrument established by Regulation (EC) No 1638/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 2006 laying down general provisions establishing a European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (11).
