THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

COUNCIL DECISION
of 30 May 2011
extending Decision 2010/371/EU concerning the conclusion of the consultation procedure with the Republic of Madagascar pursuant to Article 96 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement
(2011/324/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 217 thereof,
Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1), as last amended in Ouagadougou on 23 June 2010 (2) (‘the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement’), and in particular Article 96 thereof,
Having regard to the Internal Agreement between the representatives of the governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on measures to be taken and procedures to be followed for the implementation of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement (3), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
The essential elements referred to in Article 9 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement have been violated.
(2)
On 6 July 2009, pursuant to Article 96 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, consultations were opened with Madagascar in the presence of representatives of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (‘ACP’) Group of States, during which representatives of the High Transitional Authority failed to present satisfactory proposals or undertakings.
(3)
Major efforts have been made in terms of mediation by the Southern African Development Community (‘SADC’) and all the political parties in order to find a solution to the political crisis, in particular the negotiation of a roadmap, proposed by the SADC mediators, charting a consensus-based transition process with a view to holding free, credible elections that would permit a return to constitutional order.
(4)
However, 12 months have elapsed and the European Union must now acknowledge that, despite these efforts, the roadmap has not yet been signed by the parties involved or endorsed by the SADC, the African Union or the international community. This makes it impossible, for the moment, to envisage a consensus-based transition for a return to constitutional order, which is essential to amend the appropriate measures in force.
(5)
The period of application of Council Decision 2010/371/EU (4) is to expire on 6 June 2011. In the light of the situation described above, it should be extended for 6 months, subject to regular review during this period,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
In Article 3 of Decision 2010/371/EU, the second sentence is replaced by the following:
‘It shall remain in force until 6 December 2011 subject to regular review during this period.’.
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
