COUNCIL DECISION 2013/384/CFSP
of 15 July 2013
amending Decision 2012/325/CFSP extending the mandate of the European Union Special Representative for Sudan and South Sudan
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 28, Article 31(2) and Article 33 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:

On 11 August 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/450/CFSP (1) appointing Ms Rosalind MARSDEN as the European Union Special Representative (EUSR) for Sudan. |
|
(2) |
On 1 August 2011, the Council adopted Decision 2011/499/CFSP (2) which modified the mandate and the title of the EUSR in view of the declaration of independence by South Sudan. The EUSR’s mandate is to expire on 30 June 2013. |
|
(3) |
The mandate of the EUSR should be extended for a further period of four months. |
|
(4) |

|
