THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty of the European Union, and in particular Articles 28(1) and 31(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:
(1) On 18 December 2017, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2017/2370, entrusting the technical implementation of certain projects to the Fondation pour la recherche stratégique (FRS).
(2) In accordance with Article 3(3) of Decision (CFSP) 2017/2370, a grant agreement with the FRS was signed on 21 December 2017. The grant agreement was due to expire on 21 December 2020.
(3) On 26 May 2020, the FRS requested an extension of the implementation period for Decision (CFSP) 2017/2370 until 20 December 2021. The requested extension was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in particular the postponement of a number of the activities referred to in Article 1 of that Decision and the reluctance of national administrations in target countries to discuss the organisation of such activities given the climate of uncertainty due to that pandemic.
(4) On 20 July 2020, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2020/1066, which amended Decision (CFSP) 2017/2370, extending its date of expiration until 20 December 2021.
(5) On 27 September 2021, the FRS requested an additional extension of Decision (CFSP) 2017/2370 in view of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic situation and the related travel restrictions on its planned activities, requesting an additional extension of 13 months until 21 January 2023.
(6) The continuation of the activities referred to in Article 1 of Decision (CFSP) 2017/2370 does not have any implication as regards financial resources until 21 January 2023.
(7) Decision (CFSP) 2017/2370 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
