Proposal for a Council Decision on the financial contributions to be paid by Member states to finance the European Development fund in 2013, including the second instalment for 2013

The Internal Agreement and Financial Regulation of the 10th EDF provide for a procedure for the calls for contributions to be paid by Member States to finance the EDF. In accordance with Article 57(3) of the 10th EDF Financial Regulation, this proposal covers the amount of the second instalment of the contribution for 2013.

In accordance with Article 57(7) of the 10th EDF Financial Regulation, the amount managed by the Commission and the amount managed by the EIB are specified separately. In accordance with Article 145 of the 10th EDF Financial Regulation, the EIB has sent the Commission its updated estimates of commitments and payments under the instruments it manages.

In accordance with Article 58(2) of the Financial Regulation calls for contributions should first use up the amounts available from previous EDFs, one after the other. The calls for contributions in this proposal therefore concern amounts under the 9th EDF for the EIB and the 10th EDF for the Commission.
