    THE COURT OF JUSTICE,
    Having regard to Article 207 of the Rules of Procedure(1),
    Having regard to Article 46(3) of the act concerning the conditions of accession to the European Union of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the European Union is founded(2),
    Having regard to Article 45 of the act concerning the conditions of accession to the European Union of the Republic of Croatia and the adjustments to the Treaty on European Union, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community(3),
    Whereas:
    (1) On 25 September 2012 the Court adopted new Rules of Procedure containing various amendments, both of substance and of form, in relation to the previous Rules, which they repealed. Those amendments concern, in particular, the terminology used in the new Rules of Procedure and the procedure followed when legal aid is granted. Those alterations must, therefore, be reflected in the wording of the Supplementary Rules.
    (2) In consequence of several Member States’ designation of new authorities responsible for the handling of the matters referred to in Articles 2, 4 and 6 of the Supplementary Rules and of the accession to the European Union of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania on 1 January 2007 and of the Republic of Croatia on 1 July 2013, it would furthermore appear necessary to bring up to date the lists in the three annexes to those Rules.
