Amended Proposal for a 

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL 

amending the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and 
sound financial management as regards the multiannual financial framework 

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having  regard  to  the  Interinstitutional  Agreement  between  the  European  Parliament,  the 
Council  and  the  Commission  of  17  May  2006  on  budgetary  discipline  and  sound  financial 
management1,  and  in  particular  to  Points  21,  22,  first  and  second  subparagraphs,  and  23 
thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission2, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

At  the  conciliation  meeting  on  23  November  2007  the  two  arms  of  the  budgetary 
authority  have  agreed  to  provide  part  of  the  financing  required  for  the  European 
Global  Navigation  Satellite  System  GNSS  programmes  (EGNOS  –  GALILEO)  by  a 
revision of the multiannual financial framework 2007–2013 in accordance with Points 
21,  22  and  23  of  the  Interinstitutional  Agreement,  so  as  to  raise  the  ceilings  for 
commitment  appropriations  under  sub-Heading  1a  for  the  years  2008  to  2013  by  an 
amount of EUR 1 600 million in current prices. This raising will be offset by lowering 
the ceiling for commitment appropriations under Heading 2 for the year 2007 by the 
same amount. 

(2) 

In order to keep an appropriate relationship between commitments and payments, the 
annual  ceilings  for  payment  appropriations  will  be  adjusted.  The  adjustment  will  be 
neutral. 

(3) 

Annex  I  of  the  Interinstitutional  Agreement  on  budgetary  discipline  and  sound 
financial management should therefore be amended accordingly3,
