Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council

of 6 May 2009

amending the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and sound financial management as regards the multiannual financial framework (2007 to 2013)

(2009/407/EC)

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 managementf1, and in particular to points 21, 22, first and second paragraphs, and 23 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

At the trilogue meeting of 2 April 2009 the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission have agreed on the financing, in the framework of the European Economic Recovery Plan for modernisation of infrastructures and energy solidarity, of projects in the field of energy and broadband Internet, as well as for strengthening operations related to the ‘new challenges’ defined in the context of the assessment of the 2003 mid-term reform of the common agricultural policy (Health Check). The financing requires, as a first step, a revision of the multiannual financial framework 2007-2013 in accordance with points 21, 22, and 23 of the Interinstitutional Agreement, so as to raise the ceiling for the year 2009 for commitment appropriations under subheading 1a by an amount of EUR 2 000 000 000 in current prices.

(2)

The increase of the ceiling for subheading 1a will be fully offset by decreasing the ceiling for commitment appropriations under heading 2 for the year 2009 by EUR 2 000 000 000.

(3)

In order to keep an appropriate relationship between commitments and payments, the annual ceilings for payment appropriations will be adjusted. The adjustment will be neutral.

(4)

Annex I to the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and sound financial management should therefore be amended accordinglyf2,
