THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

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), as revised in Luxembourg on 25 June 2005(2) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the ACP-EC 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 the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1) The Islamic Republic of Mauritania has implemented the consensual solution for ending the crisis as defined by the appropriate measures put in place by Council Decision 2009/472/EC of 6 April 2009 concerning the conclusion of consultations with the Islamic Republic of Mauritania under Article 96 of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement(4).

(2) The Islamic Republic of Mauritania has returned to constitutional rule.

(3) In order to contribute to the stability of the country and to prevent new violations of the essential elements referred to in Article 9 of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement, it is necessary to promote an inclusive national dialogue integrating all relevant and interested political and social actors and to restart cooperation.

(4) Decision 2009/472/EC should therefore be repealed, and political dialogue with the Islamic Republic of Mauritania should be resumed with a view to reinforcing democracy, preventing unconstitutional changes of government, reforming the institutions and the role of the armed forces, good political and economic governance, reinforcing the rule of law and human rights and restoring the balance of institutions and power,
