The Committee on Foreign Affairs recommends that Parliament give its consent to the conclusion of the Accession Protocol allowing Croatia to join the EU-Indonesia Framework Agreement on Comprehensive Partnership and Cooperation. The protocol lets Croatia accede as a Party to the Framework Agreement signed in Jakarta on 9 November 2009, as Croatia is required to do under its Act of accession. The Commission proposed the Council decision in 2014, the Council requested Parliament's consent in 2014 and again in 2023, and the protocol was signed on 22 June 2023.
