DECISION No 258/2013/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 13 March 2013
amending Decisions No 573/2007/EC and No 575/2007/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Decision 2007/435/EC with a view to increasing the co-financing rate of the European Refugee Fund, the European Return Fund and the European Fund for the Integration of third-country nationals as regards certain provisions relating to financial management for certain Member States experiencing or threatened with serious difficulties with respect to their financial stability
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 78(2) and Article 79(2) and (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),
Whereas:

Decision No 573/2007/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) established the European Refugee Fund, Decision No 575/2007/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) established the European Return Fund and Council Decision 2007/435/EC (4) established the European Fund for the Integration of third-country nationals, as part of the General programme ‘Solidarity and Management of Migration Flows’.
