EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

The Internal Agreement and Financial Regulation of the 10th EDF provide for a procedure for 
the  calls  for  contributions  to  be  paid  by  Member  States  to  finance  the  EDF.  In  accordance 
with Article 57(3) of the 10th EDF Financial Regulation, this proposal covers: 

–  the amount of the second instalment of the contribution for 2013. 
In accordance with Article 57(7) of the 10th EDF Financial Regulation, the amount managed 
by the Commission and the amount managed by the EIB are specified separately. 
In  accordance  with  Article  145  of  the  10th  EDF  Financial  Regulation,  the  EIB  has  sent  the 
Commission  its  updated  estimates  of  commitments  and  payments  under  the  instruments  it 
manages. 

In  accordance  with  Article  58(2)  of  the  Financial  Regulation  calls  for  contributions  should 
first  use  up  the  amounts  available  from  previous  EDFs,  one  after  the  other.  The  calls  for 
contributions in this proposal therefore concern amounts under the 9th EDF for the EIB and 
the 10th EDF for the Commission. 
In  accordance  with  Article  57(3)  of  the  10th  EDF  Financial  Regulation,  the  Council  must 
decide  on  this  proposal  at  the  latest  21  calendar  days  following  the  presentation  by  the 
Commission of its proposal and Member States must pay the second instalment at the latest 
21 calendar days following the date on which the Council decision was notified to them. 

Article 60(1) of the Financial Regulation provides that a Member State which fails to pay the 
instalment  of  the  contribution  due  by  the  deadline  will  be  required  to  pay  interest  on  the 
amount unpaid; the arrangements for the payment of interest are specified in the same Article

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

, 

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 

Having regard to the Internal Agreement between the Representatives of the Governments of 
the Member States, meeting within the Council, on the financing of Community aid under the 
multiannual financial framework for the period 2008 to 2013 in accordance with the ACP-EC 
Partnership  Agreement  and  on  the  allocation  of  financial  assistance  for  the  Overseas 
Countries  and  Territories  to  which  Part  Four  of  the  EC  Treaty  applies1,  ("the  Internal 
Agreement") and in particular Article 7 thereof, 

Having  regard  to  the  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  215/2008  of  18  February  2008  on  the 
Financial Regulation applicable to the 10th European Development Fund (hereinafter referred 
to  as  "the  10th  EDF  Financial  Regulation")2  as  last  amended  on  11  April  20113,  and  in 
particular Article 57(5) thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission, 

Whereas:

(4) 

In  accordance  with  the  procedure  laid  down  in  Articles  57  to  61  of  the  10th  EDF 
Financial Regulation , the Commission is presenting a proposal by 15 June specifying 
(a) the amount of the second instalment of the contribution for 2013, and (b) a revised 
annual amount of the contribution for the year 2013 in line with actual needs, in case 
where, in accordance with Article 7(3) of the Internal Agreement, the annual amount 
deviate from actual needs. 

The Council has adopted on the 19th of November 2012, on a proposal made by the 
Commission, the decision to fix at EUR 3.100.000.000 the Commission's share and at 
250.000.000 the EIB's share of the annual amount of the Member States contributions 
to the EDF for 2013. 

In  accordance  with  the  first  paragraph  of  Article  145  of  the  10th  EDF  Financial 
Regulation,  the  European  Investment  Bank  has  sent  the  Commission  its  updated 
estimates of commitments and payments under the instruments it manages. 

Article 58(2) of the 10th European Development Fund (hereafter "the EDF") Financial 
Regulation provides that calls for contributions first use up the amounts provided for 
previous EDFs. Therefore a call for funds under the 9th EDF should be made also on 
the basis of Article 58 (2) of the 10th EDF Financial Regulation for the EIB,
