Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have assessed the success or otherwise of the current European Union External Action Service interventions in Guinea Bissau.
The UK welcomes the fact that the EU has been able to respond quickly to the positive evolution of the situation in Guinea-Bissau through the suspension of Article 96 measures and rapid agreement on a 20 million Euro State-Building contract. We hope that with further improvements on the ground, the Union will remain a close development partner of Guinea-Bissau through funds available in the 11th European Development Fund.
