The relevant national ceilings were adapted through Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/162.\n(3)\nIn accordance with Article 3(1) of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013, the sub-ceiling for market related expenditure and direct payments of the multiannual financial framework set out in Annex I to that Regulation is to be adjusted under the technical adjustment provided for in Article 6(1) of that Regulation following the transfers between the EAFRD and direct payments.\n(4)\nAs a result of those changes, it is necessary to adjust the net balance available for EAGF as set by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 367/2014. For the sake of clarity, the amounts to be made available to the EAFRD should be also published.\n(5)\nImplementing Regulation (EU) No 367/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
