            DECISION (EU) 2015/2248 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
         
of 28 October 2015
         
on the mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument for immediate budgetary measures under the European Agenda on Migration


THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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


Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters on and sound financial management (1), and in particular point 12 thereof,


Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas,







(1)


Article 11 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (2) allows the mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument within the annual ceiling of EUR 471 million (2011 prices) to allow the financing of clearly identified expenditure which could not be financed within the limits of the ceilings available for one or more other headings.












(2)


After having examined all possibilities for re-allocating appropriations under the expenditure ceiling for heading 3 (Security and Citizenship), it appears necessary to mobilise the Flexibility Instrument to complement the financing in the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2015 by EUR 66,1 million to finance measures in the field of migration.












(3)


The payment appropriations corresponding to the mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument are EUR 52,9 million in 2016 and EUR 13,2 million in 2017,





HAVE ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2015, the Flexibility Instrument shall be used to provide the sum of EUR 66,1 million in commitment appropriations in heading 3 (Security and Citizenship).
That amount shall be used to finance measures for managing the refugee crisis.
The payment appropriations corresponding to the mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument will be EUR 52,9 million in 2016 and EUR 13,2 million in 2017.


Article 2
This decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2015/C 356/07)



Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.
To celebrate thirty years of the EU flag, euro-area Finance Ministers decided that euro-area Member States would strike a 2-euro commemorative coin using a common design on the national side. Euro-area citizens and residents have selected by public web-voting the winning design. Voters had a choice of five designs, which had been pre-selected by a professional jury following a design competition among European Mints, and they choose the design created by Mr Georgios Stamatopoulos, professional designer at the Bank of Greece.


Issuing country
: Luxembourg


Subject of commemoration
: The 30th anniversary of the EU flag


Description of the design
: The designs shows the EU flag as a symbol that unites people and cultures with shared visions and ideals for a better common future. Twelve stars that morph into human figures are embracing the birth of a new Europe. At the top right, in semi-circle, are the issuing country ‘LËTZEBUERG’ and the years ‘1985-2015’. In between the flag and the years is the mint master mark. At the bottom right are the initials of the artist (Georgios Stamatopoulos).
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
