(4)The CEB’s expertise in post-conflict reconstruction and social integration aligns with the Union’s goals of promoting stability and cohesion in Europe. The CEB could support the Union in preparing accession countries on their path towards Union membership and support the implementation of the Growth Plans in the Western Balkans and in the Republic of Moldova. As the geographic scope of the CEB operations has been extended to Ukraine, one of the overarching new goals of the CEB is to provide assistance to support Ukraine’s reconstruction, recovery and long-term social development. The recently completed capital increase provides additional financial capacity to support Ukraine on its path towards Union membership. The CEB could support the Union in the implementation of the Ukraine Facility established by Regulation (EU) 2024/792 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote. The Union and the CEB could also further enhance their partnership with regard to social infrastructure investments in Türkiye.
