(1) At the budgetary conciliation meeting of 19 November 2009 the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission have agreed on the modalities for providing additional financing, in the framework of the European Economic Recovery Plan, to projects in the field of energy and broadband internet as well as investments for strengthening operations related to the 'new challenges' defined in the context of the assessment of the 2003 mid-term reform of the Common Agricultural Policy ("Health Check") i. The financing requires a revision of the multiannual financial framework 2007-2013 in accordance with Points 21, 22, and 23 of the Interinstitutional Agreement, so as to raise the ceiling for the year 2010 for commitment appropriations under sub-Heading 1A by an amount of EUR 1 587 million in current prices.

(2) The increase of the ceiling for sub-Heading 1 A will be fully offset by decreasing the ceilings for commitment appropriations under Headings 1b, 2 and 5 for the years 2009 and 2010 by a total amount of EUR 1 587 million.

(3) In order to keep an appropriate relationship between commitments and payments, the annual ceilings for payment appropriations will be adjusted. The adjustment will be neutral.

(4) Annex I of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and sound financial management should therefore be amended accordingly i,

HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
