(2) The negotiations have been concluded.
(3) The objective of the Protocol is to lay down the financial and technical rules enabling the Arab Republic of Egypt to participate in certain EU programmes. The horizontal framework established by the Protocol sets out principles for economic, financial and technical cooperation measures and allows the Arab Republic of Egypt to receive assistance, in particular financial assistance, from the European Union pursuant to the programmes.
(4) The framework set up by this Protocol applies only to those programmes for which the relevant constitutive legal acts provide for the possibility of the participation of the Arab Republic of Egypt. The signing and provisional application of the Protocol does not therefore entail the exercise of powers under the various sectoral policies, which are exercised when establishing the programmes.
(5) The Protocol should be signed on behalf of the European Union and it should be applied on a provisional basis pending the completion of the procedures for its conclusion.
