THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2024/792 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 February 2024 establishing the Ukraine Facility, and in particular Article 20(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 2024/792, it is possible for Member States, third countries, international organisations, international financial institutions or other sources to provide additional contributions to the Ukraine Facility, including to the Ukraine Plan.
(2) Norway committed to provide NOK 1000000000 as an additional financial contribution to Pillar I of the Ukraine Facility in the form of non-repayable financial support. That contribution constitutes external assigned revenue. The Commission is responsible for managing that contribution in accordance with the procedures applicable to the expenditure of the Union, in particular the procedures under Regulation (EU) 2024/792 and Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
(3) The financial contribution from Norway should be made available to Ukraine, subject to the entry into force of a transfer agreement between Norway and the Commission and the transfer of the related financial contribution. That financial contribution should be allocated to the eleventh quarterly instalment of the Ukraine Plan, and should be disbursed subject to the satisfactory fulfilment of the relevant qualitative and quantitative steps. The amount of the eleventh instalment of the Ukraine Plan should be adjusted to take into account Norway’s contribution expressed in euro resulting from the applicable official exchange rate at the time of the transfer.
(4) In the light of the situation in Ukraine and in order to ensure continuity in providing support to Ukraine, this Decision should enter into force as a matter of urgency on the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union and should apply from the date of its adoption.
(5) Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/1447 should therefore be amended accordingly,
