Joint Proposal for a Council Decision on the position to be adopted in the EU-Kazakhstan Cooperation Council as regards the working arrangements of the Cooperation Council, the Cooperation Committee, specialised subcommittees or any other bodies

Article 281(3) of the Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and its Member States and the Republic of Kazakhstan provides for the provisional application of the Agreement in whole or in part. The provisional application of the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Kazakhstan started on 1 May 2016.

The Cooperation Council between the European Union and the Republic of Kazakhstan, held on 6 October 2016, decided that its rules of procedure would be adopted by an exchange of Verbal Notes. The rules of procedure will set out how the Cooperation Council will operate, including how meetings are prepared and organised.

The Cooperation Council will be assisted in the performance of its duties by a Cooperation Committee. The Cooperation Council may decide to set up specialised subcommittees or any other bodies that can assist it in carrying out its duties.

A Council Decision is needed to establish the position to be adopted by the Cooperation Council in its first meeting on its rules of procedure and those of the Cooperation Committee and of the specialised subcommittees or any other bodies set up by the Cooperation Council.
