The Commission accepts all 40 amendments adopted by the European Parliament at first reading. These relate mainly to the European Research Council, the renewable energy sources and energy efficiency, the budgetary distribution, the Risk Sharing Finance Facility. Some further modifications and the rearrangement of content, mostly in the themes of the Cooperation programme, have also been approved. These amendments are the result of inter-institutional discussions that showed the complete agreement among the Commission, the European Parliament and the Council on all points included in them. The Commission also notes that the attached three statements on its side are elements of the overall final compromise that made possible the conclusion of the procedure at second reading.
