PUBLIC CONSULTATION A public consultation on funding for EU external action after 2013 has been published by the European Commission. Contributions are sought from citizens, organisations and public authorities in third countries, as well as Europe. The objective of the Commission consultation is to gather ideas and opinions on the future of financial instruments that the EU has at its disposal to fulfil its worldwide responsibilities. According to the European Commission, responses are requested on a range of issues, including the added value of EU financial intervention in several areas, options for new forms of cooperation and delivery mechanisms with partner countries, as well as the efficiency, impact and visibility of EU external cooperation. The online consultation, which is open to all stakeholders, is designed to prepare the ground for Commission legislative proposals to be presented in 2011 on the financial perspectives after 2013. The consultation, which can be completed online on the Commission’s web portal Interactive Policy-Making, runs until 31 January 2011. The Commission emphasises that the online questionnaire must be completed in one session, as it is not possible to save comments and responses entered, and return to them later. The questionnaire is available in English and will shortly be available in French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.
