Proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on the adjustment of the
financial perspective to take account of implementation

(2001/C 180 E/21)

COM(2001) 149 final (cid:151) 2001/0075(COD)

(Submitted by the Commission on 15 March 2001)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to paragraphs 16 to 18 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 on budgetary
discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (1),

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Acting in accordance with the voting rules laid down in the fifth subparagraph 06 Article 272(9) of the
Treaty,

Whereas:

(1) The financial perspective for 2000-2006 must be adjusted to take account of the implementation of

the budget in 2000.

(2) As a result of a delay in the adoption of certain programmes relating to structural operations,
EUR 6 152,3 million of the allocation provided for the Structural Funds could not be committed in
2000 nor carried over to 2001. Under paragraph 17 of the Interinstitutional Agreement, this amount
must be transferred to subsequent financial years by increasing the corresponding expenditure ceilings
for appropriations for commitments.

(3) The 2000 budget outturn does not show any need for an adjustment to the overall ceiling for
appropriations for payments at this stage. The situation in this respect will be reviewed at each
future adjustment exercise,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The annual ceilings for appropriations for commitments in the Structural Funds subheading of heading 2
of the financial perspective shall be raised by the following amounts, expressed in EUR million in current
prices.
