The Commission, in its initial proposal of 25 April 2012, had proposed an increase in payments by 6.8% to take into account the legal obligations to pay beneficiaries as a result of past commitments already agreed by Member States.
Komisjoni 25. aprilli 2012. aasta esialgse ettepaneku kohaselt tuleks aga selleks, et täita liikmesriikide poolt juba kokkulepitud maksekohustused abisaajate ees, makseid suurendada 6,8 %.
