Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
Regulation (EC) No 1628/96, established the European Agency for Reconstruction.

The Feira European Council of 19 and 20 June 2000 emphasised that the European Agency for Reconstruction, as an authority implementing the future CARDS programme, should be allowed to use its full potential in order to achieve the goals set by the Cologne European Council of 3 and 4 June 1999.
The Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Regulation, powers other than those under Article 308,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
