Recital 25
(25) Measures in and in relation to third countries supported through this Instrument should be taken in synergy and coherence with other actions outside the EU supported through Union external assistance instruments, both geographic and thematic. In particular, in implementing such actions full coherence should be sought with the principles and general objectives of the Union external action and foreign policy related to the country or region in question. They should not be intended to support actions directly development-oriented and they should complement, when appropriate, the financial assistance provided through external aid instruments. Coherence will also be sought with the Union humanitarian policy, in particular as regards the implementation of emergency measures. To this end a working group should be set up by the Commission in accordance with Regulation (EU) No ..../2012 [horizontal regulation] to ensure optimum coordination between the various European services and stakeholders.
