            DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
         
of 22 July 2013
         
amending the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and sound financial management as regards the multiannual financial framework, to take account of the expenditure requirements resulting from the accession of Croatia to the European Union
(2013/419/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 point 29 thereof,


Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:







(1)


The Treaty concerning the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union (2) lays down transitory provisions in budgetary matters.












(2)


The Accession Conference of 30 June 2011 has endorsed the results of the negotiations which have determined expenditure requirements resulting from the accession of Croatia to the European Union on 1 July 2013.












(3)


The accession of Croatia requires an adjustment of the multiannual financial framework 2007-2013 for the year 2013 and the increase of the ceilings for commitment appropriations for the year 2013 by a total amount of EUR 603 million in current prices, composed of EUR 47 million for sub-heading 1a, EUR 450 million for sub-heading 1b, EUR 31 million for sub-heading 3b and EUR 75 million for Heading 6, which will be fully offset by a decrease of the ceiling for commitment appropriations for the year 2013 under heading 5 for the same amount.












(4)


The accession of Croatia also requires an adjustment of the ceiling for payment appropriations for 2013, to be raised by an amount of EUR 374 million in current prices.












(5)


The financial framework for the European Union agreed upon in the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and sound financial management should be adjusted to take account of the accession of Croatia for the period from 1 July to 31 December 2013.












(6)


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





HAVE ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



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