Amending budget 6/2013: own resources; other revenue; Union trust funds for external actions

2013/2151(BUD)

On 10 July 2013, the Commission submitted to the Council draft amending budget (DAB) No 6/2013.

It proposed to update the revenue part of the 2013 budget through a revision of the forecast of traditional own resources, VAT and GNI-based own resources, as well as the forecast of other revenue.

On 20 September 2013, the Commission presented a letter of amendment (LA) to DAB No 6/2013 proposing further revisions of the proposed amounts.

The net impact of this DAB (including the LA) for Member States would be a net increase in their national contributions for a total amount of EUR 2.7 billion.

On 21 October 2013, the Council adopted its position on draft amending budget No 6/2013, as set out in the technical annex to the explanatory memorandum of the draft budget.
