  "text": "Brussels, 10 March 2014\nH.E. Ms Catherine Samba-Panza\nChef d'État de la transition\nCentral African Republic\nYour Excellency,\nFollowing the adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2134 (2014), the European Union will very soon deploy a military operation in the Central African Republic (EUFOR RCA) in order to help establish a secure environment in your country.\nAs you will recall, on 16 April 2008 the Central African Republic entered into an Agreement on the status of the European Union military operation in Chad and the Central African Republic (EUFOR Tchad/RCA) in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1778 (2007).\nThe terms of that Agreement, which ceased to be in force when the last EUFOR Tchad/RCA troops left, are nevertheless ideally suited to the needs of the European Union military operation which will be deployed in the Central African Republic.\nI therefore suggest that all provisions of that Agreement (Articles 1 to 19) be made to apply to EUFOR RCA, on the understanding that:\neach mention of EUFOR in the above-mentioned articles will be considered to refer to EUFOR RCA;\nthe means of transport referred to in Articles 1(3)(a), 3(2) and 4(3) will be considered to include the means of transport belonging to the national contingents making up EUFOR RCA, but also those hired or chartered by EUFOR RCA;\nthe reference to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1778 (2007) of 25 September 2007 in Article 1(3)(b) will be understood as a reference to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2134 (2014) of 28 January 2014.\nI should be grateful if you would let me know whether you accept these suggestions. If you do accept, this letter, together with your reply, will constitute a legally-binding international agreement between the Central African Republic and the European Union on the status of EUFOR RCA, which will enter into force on the date on which your letter of reply is received.\nPlease accept, Madam, the assurance of my highest consideration.\nFor the European Union\nC. Ashton",
