The General Affairs Council of the EU has agreed a proposal from COREPER (the Permanent Representatives Committee, senior officials from each state based in the Council, Brussels) that the six central and eastern European countries - Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria - previously referred to as PECOs should be renamed PECs - central European countries. Eastern Europe however has not disappeared in EU-speak it has merely shifted east with the former Council working group on the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) now described as covering "countries of eastern Europe and central Asia".
