The purpose of this Agreement, adopted in accordance with Article 295 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), is to implement budgetary discipline and improve the functioning of the annual budgetary procedure and cooperation between the institutions on budgetary matters as well as to ensure sound financial management.

4.

Any amendment of this Agreement requires the common agreement of all the institutions.
 

5.

This Agreement is in three parts:

Part I contains complementary provisions related to the multiannual financial framework (MFF) and provisions on special instruments not included in the MFF.
