         COUNCIL DECISION
   of 6 December 2012
   adopting the Council's position on draft amending budget No 6 of the European Union for the financial year 2012
   2012/C 378/04
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 314 thereof, in conjunction with the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 106a thereof,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (1), as last amended by Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1081/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 (2), and in particular Article 37 thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               —
            
            
               the Union's budget for the financial year 2012 was definitively adopted on 1 December 2011 (3),
            
         
               —
            
            
               on 25 October 2012, the Commission submitted a proposal containing draft amending budget No 6 to the general budget for the financial year 2012,
            
         
               —
            
            
               given the fact that draft amending budget No 6 to the general budget for 2012 needs to be implemented within the financial year 2012 for reasons of sound financial management, it is justified to shorten the 8-week period laid down in Article 4 of Protocol No 1 on the information of National Parliaments, as well as the 10-day period for placing the item on the Council's provisional agenda, in accordance with Article 3(3) of the Council's Rules of Procedure,
            
         
               —
            
            
               the Council's position is taken in conjunction with the adoption of its position on the draft budget of the European Union for the financial year 2013 and is subject to the European Parliament's approval of the latter position,
