THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Whereas:

(2)Decision 2013/726/CFSP provides for a 12-month implementation period of the project referred to in Article 1(2) thereof after                              the date of the conclusion of the financial agreement referred to in Article 3(3) thereof.

(3)On 6 November 2014, the Technical Secretariat of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) requested                              the authorisation of the Union for extending the implementation period of Decision 2013/726/CFSP until 30 September 2015 to                              allow for the continuation of the implementation of the project beyond the expiry date referred to in Article 5(2) thereof.

(4)The requested amendment of Decision 2013/726/CFSP concerns Article 5(2) thereof and the first paragraph of the Section ‘Activities’                              of the Annex where the duration of the implementation of the project has to be modified.

(5)The continuation of the project referred to in Article 1(2) of Decision 2013/726/CFSP, as specifically quoted in the request                              made by the OPCW on 6 November 2014, could be performed without any resource implication.
