(24a) Member States that request support from the Programme might contribute with additional funds to the financial envelope of the Programme. Currently, Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 limits the possibility of a transfer of resources dedicated to technical assistance at the initiative of a Member State to those Member States which face temporary budgetary difficulties. Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 should therefore be amended in order to allow all Member States to participate financially to the Programme. The resources transferred to the Union budget should be used for supporting actions contributing to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth or Fund-specific purposes in the Member States concerned. The transfer of the additional funds from the Member States' technical assistance, mentioned above, should be approved by means of a delegated act.
