Macro-financial assistance to Kyrgyzstan

In its communication concerning the position of the Council at first reading on the adoption of a Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council providing macro-financial assistance to the Kyrgyz Republic, the Commission stated that it supported the Council position in first reading and agreed with the amendments to its proposal which aim to reach the  necessary agreement on the planned MFA operation for the Kyrgyz Republic after a long delay of more than one-and-a-half years to grant assistance of EUR 117.9 million.

The Council amendments are in accordance with the outcome of the Trilogue of 26 June 2013, which was endorsed by the Parliament through a letter dated 11 July 2013. This letter indicated that Parliament would accept, in its second reading, the Council position without any amendments.
