TOGO: SUPPORTING DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENT
(13682/06)
Letter from Rt Hon Geoff Hoon MP, Minister
for Europe, Foreign and Commonwealth Office to the Chairman
Further to Explanatory Memorandum 13682/06 (COM(2006)577)
of 20 October, I wish to update you on an amendment to the proposed
Council Decision on Togo.
The EU-Africa Caribbean Pacific Working Group
at the EU agreed on 24 October that the timeframe for Togo completing
its 22 commitments should be extended for 12 months rather than
the 24 months originally proposed. We believe it is right to support
this shorter timeframe as Togo has already made good progress
towards fulfilling their undertakings.
We have placed a Parliamentary Scrutiny Reserve
pending your consideration of the text.
