Provision of external expertise on foreign policy subjects - Southern Mediterranean and the Greater Middle East

Framework service contract for ad hoc, short-term services providing expertise on a range of foreign policy subjects. The framework service contract concerns a number of current and emerging issues falling within the respective areas of responsibility of the Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET), its Subcommittee on Security and Defence (SEDE), and the Committees for Development (DEVE) and International Trade (INTA).
The expertise will be used inter alia for the compilation of data and knowledge, cost-benefit analysis and impact assessments and for outlining and evaluating policies and legislation. It is designed both to strengthen the committees' knowledge and ability to respond to Commission proposals or Council activities and to provide a solid basis for some of the committees' own initiatives.
