THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (1), and in particular Article 1(1) and the third subparagraph of Article 31(1) thereof,

Whereas:

Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 establishes a list of eligible countries based on the list of aid recipients of the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD/DAC), which is to be amended by the Commission pursuant to regular OECD/DAC reviews of its list of aid recipients.












(2)


For the purpose of defining persons eligible to participate in the award of procurement or grant contracts, Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 establishes the list of aid recipients of the OECD/DAC, which is to be published and updated pursuant to the same reviews.












(3)


Further to a revision of the list of aid recipients of the OECD/DAC, the Commission should amend Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 and inform the Council and the European Parliament thereof. The Commission should also update and publish Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 and inform the Council and the European Parliament thereof.












(4)


It is therefore appropriate to delete Oman from the list of countries eligible under Article 1(1) set out in Annex I, and update Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 accordingly.












(5)


The European Parliament and the Council will be informed accordingly,
