This seventh Annual Report on the Instrument for Stability (IfS), the final such report under the existing legal basis, is submitted to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, in compliance with the reporting requirement set out in Article 23 of the Regulation establishing an Instrument for Stability.

The Instrument for Stability has been an important tool placed under the authority of the High Representative/Vice President and Commissioner responsible for Development, enabling them to target resources in support of comprehensive EU approaches aimed at preventing, mitigating and dealing with the aftermath of crises and longer-term security threats around the world. The report gives an overview of how the IfS was mobilised to this effect in 2013.

This report is complemented by three Commission Staff Working Documents which provide comprehensive and detailed global implementation updates on i) urgent IfS crisis response measures that were launched and/or ongoing in 2013, under Article 3 of the Regulation (Staff Working Document Parts 1 and 2); and ii) longer-term programmable IfS actions under Articles 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 of the Regulation.
