The Council also adopted a decision amending annex III of its rules of procedure in order to include the figure for the total population of Croatia. That amendment is relevant in relation to the calculation of qualified majority within the Council. According to the EU treaties when a decision is to be taken by qualified majority, and if a member of the Council so requests, it must be verified that the member states constituting the qualified majority represent at least 62 % of the total population of the EU. With the accession of Croatia the 62% threshold increases to around 315.01 million out of a total of roughly 508.08 million (). The figure for the population of Croatia is supplied by Eurostat i
