            DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
         
of 17 December 2009
         
amending the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and sound financial management as regards the multiannual financial framework — Financing projects in the field of energy in the context of the European Economic Recovery Plan
(2009/1005/EU)


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 management (1), and in particular to points 21, 22, first and second paragraphs, and 23 thereof,


Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:







(1)


At the budgetary conciliation meeting of 18 November 2009 the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agreed on the modalities for providing additional financing, in the framework of the European Economic Recovery Plan, to projects in the field of energy and broadband Internet as well as investments for strengthening operations related to the ‘new challenges’ defined in the context of the assessment of the 2003 mid-term reform of the common agricultural policy (‘Health Check’) (2). The financing requires 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 ceiling for the year 2010 for commitment appropriations under subheading 1a by an amount of EUR 1 779 million in current prices.












(2)


The increase of the ceiling for subheading 1a for the year 2010 will be fully offset by decreasing the ceilings for commitment appropriations under headings 1a, 1b, 2, 3a and 5 for the year 2009 as well as the ceilings for commitment appropriations under headings 1a, 2 and 5 for 2010.












(3)


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.












(4)


Annex I of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and sound financial management should therefore be amended accordingly (3),





HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:



Sole Article
Annex I to the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and sound financial management is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
