The Union’s external financing instruments, including the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+) as established by Regulation (EU) 2021/947 of the European Parliament and of the Council, continue to be guided by the objectives and principles of the Union’s external action, as laid down in Article 3(5) and Articles 8 and 21 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), as well as by Union policy in the field of development cooperation as laid down in Article 208 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Measures to enhance the efficiency of the External Action Guarantee established by Regulation (EU) 2021/947 (the External Action Guarantee) should be pursued in a manner fully consistent with those objectives and principles, while ensuring alignment between Union policies and partner countries’ own priorities.
