COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2022/1223
of 12 July 2022
concerning the allocation of funds de-committed from projects under the 10th and 11th European Development Funds for the purpose of financing actions addressing the food security crisis and economic shock in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries following Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Internal Agreement between the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on the financing of Community aid under the multiannual financial framework for the period 2008 to 2013 in accordance with the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement and on the allocation of financial assistance for the Overseas Countries and Territories to which Part Four of the EC Treaty applies (1) (10th EDF Internal Agreement), and in particular Article 1(5) thereof,
Having regard to the Internal Agreement between the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Union, meeting within the Council, on the financing of European Union aid under the multiannual financial framework for the period 2014 to 2020, in accordance with the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, and on the allocation of financial assistance for the Overseas Countries and Territories to which Part Four of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union applies (2) (11th EDF Internal Agreement), and in particular Article 1(4) and (5) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
Following Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the food security situation in the world is rapidly deteriorating, and many of the countries affected are least developed countries or low-income, food-deficit countries. |
(2) |
EUR 3 billion are already programmed under the geographic pillar of the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument – Global Europe established by Regulation (EU) 2021/947 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). Out of that amount, EUR 2,3 billion has been programmed in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries to finance agriculture, nutrition, water and sanitation actions between 2021 and 2024. Given the extent of the needs and expected consequences, additional means should be mobilised to support the most affected partner countries. |
(3) |

Given the exceptionally dire food security situation in ACP countries, those funds need to be complemented with appropriate resources to respond to the further exacerbation of humanitarian needs and to ensure continuity of cooperation from crisis to stable conditions for development. |
(4) |
The European Council, in its Conclusions of 24-25 March 2022, invited the Commission to prioritise work on global food security and affordability, in particular by supporting food security and agriculture in Ukraine and in the most vulnerable and exposed third countries. |
(5) |
The European Council, in its Conclusions of 30-31 May 2022, invited the Commission to explore the possibility of mobilising reserves from the European Development Fund (EDF) to support the most affected partner countries. |
(6) |
The Council, in its Conclusions of 20 June 2022, supported the Team Europe response to global food insecurity and called on the Commission, the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the Member States to prioritise their financial support to address global food security including immediate humanitarian needs,... |
