For strukturfondsprogrammers vedkommende besluttede vi at reducere forudbetalingerne af betalingsforpligtelser, som var forenelige med de nye strukturfondsprogrammer, i 2000 til 3,5% i stedet for de 4,0%, som Kommissionen havde foreslået i det foreløbige budgetforslag. Herved mindskes betalingerne med EUR 1.023 millioner.
