44In the present case, first, as is apparent from recital 1 in the preamble thereto, Decision 2011/172 seeks, firstly, ‘to support the peaceful and orderly transition to a civilian and democratic government in Egypt based on the rule of law, with full respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms’ and, secondly, to support ‘efforts to create an economy which enhances social cohesion and promotes growth’. In so doing, that decision forms part of a policy of supporting the new Egyptian authorities, intended to promote both the economic and political stability of Egypt and, in particular, to assist the authorities of that country in their fight against the misappropriation of State funds. It is therefore fully based on the CFSP and satisfies the objectives referred to in Article 21(2)(b) and (d) TEU.
