COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2013/62/EU
of 17 December 2013
amending Directive 2010/18/EU implementing the revised Framework Agreement on parental leave concluded by BUSINESSEUROPE, UEAPME, CEEP and ETUC, following the amendment of the status of Mayotte with regard to the European Union
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 349 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1)
By European Council Decision 2012/419/EU (2), the European Council decided to amend the status of Mayotte with regard to the Union with effect from 1 January 2014. From that date, Mayotte will cease to be an overseas country or territory and will become an outermost region of the Union within the meaning of Article 349 and Article 355(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Following this amendment of the legal status of Mayotte, Union law will apply to Mayotte from 1 January 2014. Taking account of the particular structural social and economic situation of Mayotte, certain specific measures aimed at laying down the conditions of application of Union law should be established.
(2)
Considering the specific structural social and economic situation of Mayotte, in particular the fact that the labour market is underdeveloped and the employment rate is low due to its remoteness, insularity, difficult topography and climate, an additional implementation period for Council Directive 2010/18/EU (3) should be provided for in order to ensure that equal treatment in the particular field of parental leave is achieved progressively and in a way that does not destabilise the gradual economic development of Mayotte. That additional implementation period should allow the specific disadvantaged structural social and economic situation of Mayotte, as a new outermost region, to be improved.
(3)
Directive 2010/18/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
In Article 3(2) of Directive 2010/18/EU, the following subparagraph is added:
‘By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, the additional period referred to therein shall be extended to 31 December 2018 as regards Mayotte as an outermost region of the Union within the meaning of Article 349 TFEU.’.
Article 2
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 January 2014.
Article 3
This Directive is addressed to the French Republic.

In accordance with Article 6 of that Regulation, the Commission has calculated the absolute amount of the Contingency Margin for 2014 (3).
(3)
After having examined all other financial possibilities to react to unforeseen circumstances that have arisen after the multiannual financial framework payment ceiling for 2014 was first established in February 2013, it appears necessary to mobilise the Contingency Margin to complement the payment appropriations in the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2014, above the payment ceiling.

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2014, the Contingency Margin shall be used to provide the sum of EUR 3 168 233 715 in payment appropriations over and above the payment ceiling of the multiannual financial framework.
Article 2
The sum of EUR 2 818 233 715 shall be offset in three instalments against the margins under the payment ceilings for the following years:
(a)
2018: EUR 939 411 200;
(b)
2019: EUR 939 411 200;
(c)
2020: EUR 939 411 315.
The Commission is invited to present in a timely manner a proposal concerning the remaining amount of EUR 350 million.
Article 3
This decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
