5.1. Need for Community intervention
5.1.1. Objectives pursued
In accordance with Article 2 of the Council Decision 2010/.../CFSP of .../02/2010, the mandate of the EUSR shall be based on the policy objectives of the European Union (EU) in Sudan, notably as regards efforts, as part of the international community and in support of the African Union (AU) and the United Nations (UN), to assist the Sudanese parties, the AU and the UN to achieve a political settlement of the conflict in Darfur, including through the implementation of the Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA) and to facilitate the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) and to promote South-South dialogue, as well as facilitating the implementation of the Eastern Sudan Peace Agreement (ESPA), with due regard to the regional ramifications of these issues and to the principle of African ownership.
5.1.2. Measures taken in connection with ex ante evaluation
The first mandate of the EUSR was adopted in 2005 and has been renewed five times. Each renewal was preceded by a political assessment by the Council.
5.1.3. Measures taken following ex post evaluation
The Council undertakes reviews at the end of each EUSR mandate on the basis of document Review of Mandates of EUSRs (doc. 6436/03 of 14 February 2003). The most recent review was conducted by the Council Working Party on Africa on 25 November 2009 and endorsed by the Political and Security Committee on 29 January 2010. The review recommended the extension and amendment of the mandate.
5.2. Actions envisaged and arrangements for budget intervention
The mandate of the EUSR, as specified in Article 3 of Council Decision 2010/.../CFSP of
.../02/2010, will be to:

(b) represent the European Union at the Darfur-Darfur dialogue, at high-level meetings of the Joint Commission, as well as other relevant meetings as requested;

(e) ensure coherence between the European Union's contribution to crisis management in Darfur and the overall political relationship of the European Union with Sudan;
(f) with regard to human rights, including the rights of children and women, and the fight against impunity in Sudan, follow the situation and maintain regular contacts with the Sudanese authorities, the AU and the UN, in particular with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the human rights observers active in the region and the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court;
For the purpose of the fulfilment of his mandate, the EUSR shall, inter alia:
(a) maintain an overview of all activities of the European Union;
(c) support the political process and activities relating to the implementation of the CPA, the DPA and the ESPA; and
(d) follow up and report on compliance by the Sudanese parties with the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions, notably 1556(2004), 1564(2004), 1591(2005), 1593(2005), 1672(2006), 1679(2006), 1706 (2006), 1769 (2007) and 1778 (2007).
5.3. Methods of implementation
The EU Special Representative will sign a Special Adviser contract with the Commission. He will be accountable to the Commission for the management of expenditure relating to the mandate.

Salaries and allowances
• EU Special Representative 6 months * 20,230 €/month = 121,380 €
The remuneration of the EUSR corresponds to the basic salary of the grade AD 16, 1st level, as fixed at Article 66 of the EC Staff Regulations. This salary is determined on the basis of document “EU Special Representatives: Guidelines on appointment, mandate and financing” (doc. 13833/03 of 28 October 2003). The remuneration includes expatriation allowance of 16 % and other applicable allowances as per the EC Staff Regulations.
- Basic salary: € 16,600.62
- Expatriation allowance (16%) € 2,735.99
- Household allowance € 499.32
- Margin for indexation: € € 394.07
TOTAL € 20,230.00
Removal allowance (50% of 1 month basic salary upon termination) = € 8,300.31
• Seconded staff
The salaries of the seconded staff are covered by the seconding state and institution, respectively. Daily allowances for seconded personnel are based on Commission Communication C(2009)9502 of 30 November 2009 referring to Council Guidelines 7291/09 of 10 March 2009.
• International contracted staff
The salaries of all non-seconded staff are covered by the budget of the mandate. Salaries, daily allowances and travel allowances for international (contracted) staff are based on Commission Communication on Specific Rules for Special Advisers of the Commission entrusted with the Implementation of Operational CFSP Actions (C(2009)9502 of 30 November 2009).
The calculation of the daily allowances for international staff is provided below:
Brussels-based staff
Seconded staff in Brussels receive an allowance of 122,97 EUR corresponding to the allowance for Seconded National Experts to EU Institutions, except if the secondment is from Belgium or a Brussels based EU Institution. Two POLADs based in Brussels are entitled to the allowance.
Sudan-based staff
The allowances for Sudan-based seconded and international contracted staff are calculated in the following way:
Per diem: UN DSA 188 USD x 75% / 1.433800 = 98.34 EUR
Hardship: [40%] = 25 EUR Risk [High] = 30 EUR
Total: 98.34 + 25 + 30 = 153.34 EUR
• Local Staff
The provisions for the remuneration of all local staff include gross salary and all social security contributions of the employer under the local law.
A provision is included to cover possible severance payments for local staff. Insurances
The budget covers a high-risk insurance for the EUSR and his team members, whether they are paid from the budget or seconded by Member States.
The budget also includes a provision for financial liability insurance.

2.2. Missions
All mission expenditure directly related to the implementation of the mandate is covered by the budget of the mandate. The mission expenditure includes transportation, per diems and accommodation. The rates are based on the Guide to Missions for Officials and Other servants of the European Commission (Article 71 of the Staff Regulations and Articles 11 to 13 of Xxxxx XXX to the Staff Regulations). Depending on the type of mission the EUSR travels with one or two advisers.
Most missions are undertaken to Sudan (Khartoum and Juba) by EUSR and Brussels-based POLADs, and internally in Europe and Africa (by all staff). Please note that there are no direct flights between Khartoum and Juba; therefore staff are obliged to transfer via Addis Ababa or Nairobi.
There will be some missions to New York, to the meetings organised by United Nations, as well as to other destinations, such as Qatar, for meetings on the peace process in Darfur (negotiations between the Sudanese Government and the rebels).
The detailed assessment of the mission costs is provided below.
