On 19 May 2014, the Council decided to repeal its decision under Art. 96 of the Cotonou agreement on Madagascar, which had been in force since 2010. That meant the full resumption of EU development cooperation with this country. This decision came in the wake of the presidential and general elections held in Madagascar in 2013, an important phase in the return to constitutional order and a point of departure for the consolidation of democracy, rule of law, good governance and political stabilisation. Both elections were monitored by an EU election observation mission and judged credible. |
