Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/800
of 21 May 2015
amending and extending Decision 2013/233/CFSP on the European Union Integrated Border Management Assistance Mission in Libya (EUBAM Libya)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 28 and Articles 42(4) and 43(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:
Following the security and political situation in Libya, EUBAM Libya personnel were relocated and reduced in number at the end of 2014 to a limited capacity, continuing with a further reduction in 2015. Following the strategic review of EUBAM Libya, the Political and Security Committee (PSC) decided that the on-hold status of the Mission should be maintained and that the Mission should be extended for a further period of 6 months, until 21 November 2015.
Decision 2013/233/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly.
EUBAM Libya will be conducted in the context of a situation which may deteriorate and could impede the achievement of the objectives of the Union's external action as set out in Article 21 of the Treaty,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
