Speaker 1
Colleagues,  we have to adopt the agenda.  Dear colleagues, let us proceed with the adoption of the agenda.  If there are no amendments, the agenda of the meeting can be adopted.  I have no chair announcements. 

The next point is an update on the European Peace Facility including recently adopted support measures. 

For this item, I welcome Dorota Dlouchy-Suliga, head of division for the European Peace Facility at the EEAS.  The European Peace Facility is a unique, off-budget instrument, with a financial ceiling of 17 billion for 2021 to 2027, is an important tool for the EU presence and influence all around the world.  We very much welcome its resumption for Ukraine.  Our institution repeatedly called on the Council to urgently resolve the deadlock over the Ukraine Assistance Fund under the European Peace Facility, which is essential for the implementation of the EU's long-term security commitments to Ukraine.  Now, it's essential to make up for wasted time and to provide Ukraine with all the necessary support as a matter of urgency. 

But we know that the European Peace Facility is not only for Ukraine and the measures cover a wide range of countries and areas.  I would like to flag a few.  For Moldova, which is highly affected by Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, EPF measures were instrumental in strengthening its defense capabilities.  However, with an increasing number of airspace violations, is the EU ready to step up its support through this instrument to further strengthen the security of Moldova?
