Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/2310

of 10 December 2015

amending Decision 2013/189/CFSP establishing a European Security and Defence College

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 42(4) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

Whereas:

(1)
On 22 April 2013, the Council adopted Decision 2013/189/CFSP establishing a European Security and Defence College1.
(2)
On 22 July 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/491/CFSP amending Decision 2013/189/CFSP2.
(3)

Decision 2013/189/CFSP, as amended by Decision 2014/491/CFSP, provides for a financial reference amount for the first 12 months from 1 August 2013 to 31 July 2014 and for the subsequent period from 1 August 2014 to 31 December 2015.

(4)

On 25 March 2014 the Steering Committee established by Decision 2013/189/CFSP agreed that the period of the financing agreement should be aligned with the annual accounting period, running from 1 January to 31 December, so as to require only one set of accounts from 2016 onwards.

(5)

A new financial reference amount for the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016 should therefore be established.

(6)

Decision 2013/189/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
