This reserve is entered in the general budget of the European Union as a provision.

At the same time as it presents its proposal for a transfer, the Commission will initiate a trialogue procedure, if necessary in a simplified form, to secure agreement of the two arms of the budgetary authority on the need to use this reserve and on the amount required.
