THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles 28(1) and 31(1) thereof,

(3)


On 23 September 2022, the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) Secretariat, which is responsible for the technical implementation of the project activities referred to in Article 1 of Decision (CFSP) 2021/649, requested by letter a five-month no-cost extension of the implementation period of that Decision. This extension would allow the ATT Secretariat to complete the project activities referred to in Article 1 of Decision (CFSP) 2021/649, the implementation of which was impacted negatively by recruitment delays, as well as by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The extension of the implementation period of the project activities referred to in Article 1 of Decision (CFSP) 2021/649 until 20 October 2023 does not have any implications as regards financial resources.












(5)


Decision (CFSP) 2021/649 should therefore be amended accordingly,
