Recital 39
(39) External actions are often implemented in a highly volatile environment requiring continuous and rapid adaptation to the evolving needs of Union partners and to global challenges to human rights, democracy and good governance, security and stability, climate change and environment, oceans, and the migration crisis and its root causes. Reconciling the principle of predictability with the need to react rapidly to new needs consequently means adapting the financial implementation of the programmes. To increase the ability of the EU to respond to unforeseen needs, building on the successful experience of the European Development Fund (EDF), an amount should be left unallocated as an emerging challenges, emergencies and priorities cushion. It should be mobilised in accordance with the procedures established in this Regulation.
