    of 26 June 2023

    on the financial contributions to be paid by the parties to the European Development Fund as a second instalment for 2023

    THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

    Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

    Having regard to the Internal Agreement between the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Union, meeting within the Council, on the financing of European Union aid under the multiannual financial framework for the period 2014 to 2020, in accordance with the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, and on the allocation of financial assistance for the Overseas Countries and Territories to which Part Four of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union applies (1), and in particular Article 7(2) in conjunction with Article 14(3) thereof,

    Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) 2018/1877 of 26 November 2018 on the financial regulation applicable to the 11th European Development Fund, and repealing Regulation (EU) 2015/323 (2), and in particular Article 19(3) thereof,

    (3)

    Pursuant to Article 20(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1877, calls for contributions are to first use up the amounts laid down for previous European Development Funds (EDF). Therefore a call for funds pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1877 for the EIB and for the Commission should be made.

However, pursuant to Article 153 of the Withdrawal Agreement, the United Kingdom’s share in decommitted funds from projects under the 11th EDF, where those funds have been decommitted after 31 December 2020, or previous EDFs are not to be reused.

    (5)

    (6)

    In order to allow for the prompt application of the measures it provides for, this Decision should enter into force on the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

    Article 1

    The amount of the contributions to be paid by the parties to the EDF as a second instalment for 2023 is hereby set at EUR 750 000 000. It shall be divided into EUR 650 000 000 for the Commission and EUR 100 000 000 for the EIB.
