EU extends EUBAM Rafah
The Council of the EU has adopted in writing the
extension of the EU Border Assistance Mission (EUBAM)
for the Rafah border crossing point by one year to 24
May 2008, renewable for another six months. It also
approved €7 million in funding to cover costs over the
additional 12 months. The extension of the mission was
requested by both Israel and the Palestinian Authority,
which first signed a movement and access agreement on 25
November 2005. |
