Proposal for a Council Decision extending the period of application of the appropriate measures in Decision 2011/492/EU concluding consultations with the Republic of Guinea-Bissau under Article 96 of the Cotonou Agreement and amending that Decision

The Commission considers it important that Council Decision 2011/492/EU is not allowed to expire as it provides a fundamental framework for the promotion of democratic stability in Guinea-Bissau. An extension of the deadline one year, until 19 July 2013, is therefore proposed.
