The Council Conclusions on EU democracy support explained

The Council of the European Union agreed on 17 November to adopt Council Conclusions on Democracy Support in the EU's External Affairs. This important development in the EU's External Relations has sparked a great deal of interest among civil society organisations working in the field of democracy support beyond the EU's borders, but those not directly involved in the process may well be asking what all the fuss is about. The European Partnership for Democracy has just published a special edition of its newsletter, in which we explain the important parts of the Conclusions and Agenda for Action and look at the challenges to implementation that lie ahead.
