THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and, in particular, Article 18(5) in conjunction with Article 23(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 30 January 2006, the Council adopted Joint Action 2006/49/CFSP appointing Mr Christian Schwarz-Schilling as the European Union Special Representative (EUSR) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
(2) On 7 February 2007, the Council adopted Joint Action 2007/87/CFSP amending and extending, until 30 June 2007, the mandate of Mr Christian Schwarz-Schilling as the EUSR in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
(3) Mr Christian Schwarz-Schilling has informed the Secretary General/High Representative that he would not seek an extension of his mandate beyond 30 June 2007.
