(1) In accordance with the procedure laid down in Articles 57 to 61 of the 10th EDF Financial Regulation, the Commission should present a proposal by 15 October 2013 specifying the ceiling for the annual amount of the Member States European Development Fund (EDF) contribution for 2015, the amount of the contribution for 2014 and the amount of the first instalment of the contribution for 2014.

(2) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 145 of the 10th EDF Financial Regulation, the European Investment Bank has sent the Commission its updated estimates of commitments and payments under the instruments it manages.

(3) In accordance with Article 58(2) of the 10th EDF Financial Regulation, calls for contributions should first use up the amounts available from previous EDFs, one after the other. Taking into account that the EIB doesn’t call for contributions for the first instalment, this proposal therefore concerns only amounts under the 10th EDF for the Commission.

(4) The Council has adopted on the 19th of November 2012, on a proposal made by the Commission, the decision to fix at EUR 3.250.000.000 the Commission's share and at 360.000.000 the EIB's share of the ceiling of the Member States contributions to the EDF for 2014.
