			Proposal for a DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the Mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument /* COM/2013/0559 final */
			
				
		
		
			
			   	EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May
2006[1] allows for the mobilisation of
the Flexibility Instrument to allow the financing of clearly identified
expenditure which could not be financed within the limits of the ceilings available
for one or more headings of the multiannual financial framework.
In accordance with point 27 of the
Interinstitutional Agreement, and after having examined all possibilities for
re-allocating appropriations under heading 1b, the Commission proposes to
mobilise the Flexibility Instrument to complement the financing in the general
budget of the European Union for the financial year 2013, beyond the ceiling of
heading 1b, of EUR 134 049 037 towards the financing of the
European Social Fund to increase the allocations to France, Italy and Spain for
the year 2013
The two arms of the budgetary authority are
reminded that the publication of the Decision in the Official Journal of the
European Union shall not intervene later than the publication for the related
Amending Budget for the year 2013.
