THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Whereas:

The Treaty concerning the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Unionf2 lays down transitory provisions in budgetary matters.

(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.
