DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 3 May 2001

on the adjustment of the financial perspective to take account of the conditions of implementation

(2001/692/EC)

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 (2),

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

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

The financial perspective for 2000-06 must be adjusted to take account of the implementation of the
budget in 2000.

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 expendi-
ture ceilings for appropriations for commitments.

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,

HAVE 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 millions of euro in current
prices.

for 2002 in line with movements in GNP and prices and the adjustments covered by this Decision, are
attached.
