CONTENT: the European Parliament definitively adopted the amending budget No 6 of the European
Union for the financial year 2013 in accordance with its resolution of 24 October 2013 (please see the summary of that resolution).
To recall, that Draft amending budget No 6/2013 updates 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.
The net impact of this DAB for Member States would be a net increase in their national contributions for a total amount of EUR 2.7 billion.
It should be noted that Parliament stressed that this DAB is crucial to avoid cash shortages that could lead to an implementation deficit in 2013, on the basis of the level of payment appropriations authorised in the Budget 2013 including Amending Budgets.
