Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2073 sets the amounts made available to the Member States for reimbursement to the final recipients in financial year 2017. Those amounts correspond to the financial discipline reduction actually applied by the Member States in financial year 2016 on the basis of the Member States' declarations of expenditure for the period from 16 October 2015 to 15 October 2016.

In respect of France, an error occurred in the IT system of the Commission treating the Member States' declarations with a view to setting the gross amounts of expenditure subject to financial discipline. That error resulted in an erroneous amount of financial discipline applied and hence an error in the amount made available for reimbursement in France. The error does not affect the amounts set for other Member States.

With a view to compliance with the legal basis for reimbursement and in order to ensure the protection of the financial interests of the Union, the amount made available for reimbursement in France should be corrected.

As a consequence, the total amount of financial discipline applied by the Member States in financial year 2016, as referred to in recital 5 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2073, is EUR 433 million.

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2073 should therefore be corrected accordingly.

As the correction made by this Regulation affects the application of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2073, which applies from 1 December 2016, this Regulation should also apply from 1 December 2016,
