Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:
(1) On 12 August 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/452/CFSP, which extended the European Union Monitoring Mission in Georgia (EUMM Georgia) established by Council Joint Action 2008/736/CFSP.
(2) On 17 October 2022, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2022/1970 on the deployment in Armenia of EU observers from EUMM Georgia until 19 December 2022.
(3) On 25 November 2022, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2022/2318, which extended EUMM Georgia until 14 December 2024.
(4) On 19 December 2022, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2022/2507, which provided for the deployment of a team from EUMM Georgia in Armenia in order to enhance the Union’s awareness of the security situation with a view to contributing to the planning and preparation of a possible civilian common security and defence policy mission in Armenia.
