(2) In accordance with Article 46 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1877, the European Investment Bank (EIB) is to send to the Commission its updated estimates of commitments and payments under the instruments it manages.
(3) Pursuant to Article 20(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1877, calls for contributions are to first use up the amounts provided for in previous EDFs. Therefore a call for funds pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1877 for the Commission and for the EIB should be made.

However, pursuant to Article 153 of the withdrawal agreement, the United Kingdom’s share in decommitted funds from projects under the 11th EDF, where those funds have been decommitted after 31 December 2020, or previous EDFs are not to be reused.
