COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS EXTRAORDINARY COORDINATORS MEETINGS

12 and 17 May 2021, 20.00 - 21.00

FINAL RECORD OF DECISIONS

1. Revised mandate of the Working Group on External Financing Instruments (EFI)

The Coordinators decided to:

 Task the Secretariat to adjust the draft mandate in line with Coordinators’ decisions  Ask groups to nominate additional WG members by 21 May

For information, D’Hondt with 21 Members: 6 EPP (incl. Delegated Chair), 5 S&D, 3 Renew, 2 ID, 2 Greens/EFA, 2 ECR, 1 The LEFT.

2. Subgroups and sub-working structures

The Coordinators decided that:

1. No new working groups and subgroups will be created.

2. The existing working groups on the Western Balkans, the Eastern Partnership and the Southern Neighbourhood plus DROI and SEDE working groups will be invited to scrutinise the application of the external financing instruments as pertaining to their geographical and horizontal remit in tandem with the working group on External Financing Instruments (WG EFI).

3. Issues that are not covered under point two will be dealt with by WG EFI.

4. Working groups on the Western Balkans, the Eastern Partnership and the Southern Neighbourhood plus DROI and SEDE working groups will report about their scrutiny and about their recommendations for the geopolitical dialogues together with WG EFI to AFET coordinators.

5. WG EFI is responsible for integrating the work of working groups on the Western Balkans, the Eastern Partnership and the Southern Neighbourhood plus DROI and SEDE working groups with their own work and for drawing the necessary overall conclusions in relation to scrutiny of the Global Europe instrument. The WG EFI can also make relevant suggestions to the AFET Coordinators in relation to the geopolitical dialogue.

6. AFET Coordinators can of course raise pertinent questions in AFET if they see the need.

7. This compromise will be re-evaluated after one year.

8. The composition of WG EFI should be based on the d’Hondt rule for 21 Members, with AFET, DROI and SEDE Chairs and the co-rapporteurs of Global Europe and IPA III attending but not voting.

 The Secretariat will adjust the relevant documentation in line with Coordinators decisions.

3. Any other business

The Coordinator of the EPP Group, Michael Gahler mentioned that for the list of priority countries for the geopolitical dialogue in June the EPP group proposes the following changes:

 For Sub-Saharan Africa: Ethiopia and Tanzania instead of South Africa and Ghana;  For Americas: Cuba, Nicaragua and Bolivia (not Colombia, El Salvador)

MEP Gahler informed the Coordinators about the EPP group wish to request own-initiative reports on Azerbaijan and Armenia at the next ordinary AFET Coordinators meeting
