Total Budget

Annex 1: No-cost extension of EUSR for Horn of Africa until 31 October 2013

EUSR for the Horn of Africa, Mr Alexander Rondos, was appointed as of 1 January 2012 (Council Decision 2011/819/CFSP). His mandate was further extended until 30 June 2013 (2012/329/CFSP) with a budget of EUR 4 900 000. More than half of the budget was planned to cover the capital expenditure for the establishment of presence at an identified plot in the secure zone of the Mogadishu International Airport.

However, the situation changed and the initial plan for the capital investment was dropped. Currently the EUSR has a lease agreement with the UN for an accommodation and office space at the originally designated plot. Consequently, there has been substantial savings and it is suggested to have a no-cost extension for the mandate for 4 extra months. As of 1 November 2013 it is planned for the EUSR Horn of Africa to take over some mandate activities from the EUSR Sudan and South Sudan. In this respect a new mandate and budget proposal will be discussed in fall.

By the end of May 26.5% of the total budget has been spent. The following table presents the current budget and the % of the current expenditure:
