Remarks

The assignment of customs duties as own resources to the financing of common expenditure is the logical consequence of the free movement of goods within the Union. This article may comprise levies, premiums, additional or compensatory amounts, additional amounts or factors, Common Customs Tariff duties and other duties established or to be established by the institutions of the European Union in respect of trade with third countries and customs duties on products under the expired Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community.

Figures are net of collection costs.

Remarks

The GNI-based resource is an ‘additional’ resource, providing the revenue required to cover expenditure in excess of the amount yielded by traditional own resources, VAT-based payments and other revenue in any particular year. By implication, the GNI-based resource ensures that the general budget of the European Union is always balanced ex ante.

The GNI call rate is determined by the additional revenue needed to finance the budgeted expenditure not covered by the other resources (VAT-based payments, traditional own resources and other revenue). Thus a call rate is applied to the GNI of each of the Member States.

The rate to be applied to the Member States' gross national income for this financial year is 0,6897 %.

Remarks

Under Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, Member States are to send the Commission a statement of the total amount of the VAT resources base for the previous calendar year before 31 July.

Each Member State is debited with an amount calculated on the basis of that statement according to European Union rules and credited with the 12 payments actually made during the previous financial year. The Commission works out the balance and informs the Member States in time for them to enter it in the Commission's account referred to in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 on the first working day of December of the same year.

Any corrections to the abovementioned statements resulting from Commission controls in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 or/and any changes to the GNI of previous financial years that have an effect on the capping of the ‘VAT’ base will lead to adjustments of the ‘VAT’ balances.

Remarks

Any delay by a Member State in making the entry in the account opened in the name of the Commission referred to in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 gives rise to the payment of interest by the Member State concerned.

In the case of Member States whose currency is the euro, the interest rate shall be equal to the rate as published in the Official Journal of the European Union, C series, which the European Central Bank applied to its refinancing operations, on the first day of the month in which the due date fell, increased by two percentage points. This rate shall be increased by 0,25 of a percentage point for each month of delay. The increased rate shall be applied to the entire period of delay.

In the case of Member States whose currency is not the euro, the rate shall be equal to the rate applied on the first day of the month in question by the Central Banks for their main refinancing operations, increased by two percentage points, or, for the Member States for which the Central Bank rate is not available, the most equivalent rate applied on the first day of the month in question on the Member State's money market, increased by two percentage points. This rate shall be increased by 0,25 of a percentage point for each month of delay. The increased rate shall be applied to the entire period of delay.

The interest rate applies to all entries of own resources enumerated under Article 10 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.

The Commission may impose fines, periodic penalty payments and other penalties on undertakings and associations of undertakings for not respecting bans or not carrying out their obligations under the Regulations below or under Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

The fines must normally be paid within three months of the Commission decision being notified. However, the Commission will not collect the amount due when the undertaking has lodged an appeal with the Court of Justice of the European Union; the undertaking must accept that interest will be paid on the debt after the final date for payment and provide the Commission with a bank guarantee covering both the principal of the debt and interest or surcharges by the final date for payment.

Remarks

Any delay by a Member State in making the entry in the account opened in the name of the Commission, referred to in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 gives rise to the payment of interest by the Member State concerned.

In the case of Member States whose currency is the euro, the interest rate shall be equal to the rate as published in the Official Journal of the European Union, C series, which the European Central Bank applied to its refinancing operations, on the first day of the month in which the due date fell, increased by two percentage points. This rate shall be increased by 0,25 of a percentage point for each month of delay. The increased rate shall be applied to the entire period of delay.

In the case of Member States whose currency is not the euro, the rate shall be equal to the rate applied on the first day of the month in question by the Central Banks for their main refinancing operations, increased by two percentage points, or, for the Member States for which the Central Bank rate is not available, the most equivalent rate applied on the first day of the month in question on the Member State's money market, increased by two percentage points. This rate shall be increased by 0,25 of a percentage point for each month of delay. The increased rate shall be applied to the entire period of delay.

The interest rate applies to all entries of own resources enumerated under Article 10 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.

Remarks

The Commission may impose fines, periodic penalty payments and other penalties on undertakings and associations of undertakings for not respecting bans or not carrying out their obligations under the Regulations below or under Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

The fines must normally be paid within 3 months of the Commission decision being notified. However, the Commission will not collect the amount due when the undertaking has lodged an appeal with the Court of Justice of the European Union; the undertaking must accept that interest will be paid on the debt after the final date for payment and provide the Commission with a bank guarantee covering both the principal of the debt and interest or surcharges by the final date for payment.

Remarks

This exceptional assistance aims to ease financial constraints on certain third countries experiencing macroeconomic difficulties characterised by balance of payment deficits and/or serious budgetary imbalances.

It is directly linked to the implementation by the recipient countries of macroeconomic stabilisation and structural adjustment measures. Union action generally complements that of the International Monetary Fund, coordinated with other bilateral donors.

The Commission informs the budgetary authority twice a year of the macroeconomic situation of the beneficiary countries and reports extensively on the implementation of this assistance on a yearly basis.

Appropriations under this article will also be used to cover financial aid for the reconstruction in Georgia of the areas affected by the conflict with Russia. The actions should be primarily geared to the macroeconomic stabilisation of the country. The total financial allocation for the aid was decided at an international donors' conference in 2008.

The action taken by the Union pursuant to Article 174 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union shall be designed to strengthen the economic and social cohesion of the enlarged Union in order to promote the harmonious, balanced and sustainable development of the Union. This action shall be taken with the aid of the cohesion policy funds, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and other existing financial instruments.

The action taken under the cohesion policy funds shall incorporate, at national and regional level, the Union's priorities for sustainable development by strengthening growth, competitiveness and employment, and social inclusion, as well as protecting and improving the quality of the environment.

The ‘Convergence’ objective shall be geared to speeding up the convergence of the least-developed Member States and regions by improving conditions for growth and employment through increasing and improving the quality of investment in physical and human capital, the development of innovation and of the knowledge society, adaptability to economic and social changes, protection and improvement of the environment, as well as administrative efficiency. This objective shall constitute the cohesion policy funds' priority. The actions taken under the cohesion policy funds will respect equal opportunities for women and men.

Remarks

New item

This pilot project is intended to establish an exchange programme for young farmers, which would allow for cross-border exchanges of best practice in farm management, in particular in relation to the challenges facing European agriculture, in order to aid in the development of Europe's rural areas.

This programme would provide an invaluable opportunity for young famers to experience at first hand the diverse agricultural realities in the Union by spending time on farms based in a different Member State. This exchange of knowledge and experience among Europe's young farmers would further equip them to meet the demands of European consumers, to contribute to food security and to address other challenges facing European agriculture such as the use of renewable energies, biodiversity loss and carbon storage.

Legal basis

For all appropriations under this title the same definition of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as is used for the horizontal SME-specific programmes within the same framework programme shall apply. That definition reads as follows: ‘An eligible SME is a legal entity that complies with the SME definition set out in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC and is not a research centre, research institute, contract research organisation or consultancy firm’. All research activities conducted pursuant to the Seventh Framework Programme will be carried out in compliance with fundamental ethical principles (in accordance with Article 6(1) of Decision No 1982/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007-2013) (OJ L 412, 30.12.2006, p. 1)), including animal welfare requirements. This will include, in particular, the principles laid down in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation and role of women in science and research.

Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Union to investigate new areas of research suitable for Union action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, whether covered by the Staff Regulations or not, information, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure Items relating to internal infrastructure linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and initiatives necessary for preparation and monitoring of the Union's strategy on research, technological development and demonstration (RTD).

Remarks

The actions carried out in this area are intended to help reach the critical mass of capacities needed to develop and exploit, in particular with a view to eco-efficiency and reducing the discharge of dangerous substances into the environment, state-of-the-art technologies which are the basis for products, services and manufacturing procedures in years to come, based mainly on knowledge and intelligence.

Sufficient appropriations must be provided for nano research in connection with environmental and health risk assessment, since only 5-10 % of global nano research is devoted to this today.

Expenditure on meetings, conferences, workshops and high-level scientific or technological seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of studies, grants, monitoring and assessment of specific programmes, funding the IMS secretariat, high-level scientific or technological assessments and evaluations, as well as actions carried out under the previous framework programmes will also be charged.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

The objective of the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007-13) and the ‘Information and Communication Technologies’ theme of the specific ‘Cooperation’ programme is to improve the competitiveness of European industry and to enable Europe to master and shape the future developments in ICTs so that the demands of its society and economy are met.

Activities will strengthen Europe's scientific and technology base and insure its global leadership in ICTs, help drive and stimulate innovation through ICT use and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe's citizens, businesses, industry and governments.

The ICT theme prioritises strategic research around key technology pillars, ensures end-to-end integration of technologies and provides the knowledge and the means to develop a wide range of innovative ICT applications.

The activities leverage industrial and technological advances in the ICT sector and improve the competitive edge of important ICT-intensive sectors — both through innovative high-value ICT-based products and services and from new or improved organisational processes in businesses and administrations alike. The theme also supports other policies of the Union by mobilising ICTs to meet public and societal demands.

Activities cover collaboration, networking actions and national programme coordination initiatives. Also entered in this Article are the costs of independent experts assisting in proposal evaluations and project reviews, the costs of events, meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of studies, analyses and evaluations, the costs of monitoring and evaluation of the specific programmes and of the framework programmes and the costs of measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this item. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

The Union's financial assistance helps accelerate the eradication or control of animal diseases by providing funds to supplement national financial resources and contributes to harmonising measures at Union level. The bulk of these diseases or infections are zoonoses communicable to man (BSE, brucellosis, avian influenza, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, etc.). Moreover, the persistence of the diseases in question hampers the smooth operation of the internal market; fighting them helps to improve the level of public health and to boost food safety in the Union.

Remarks

The Union aims to establish an area of prosperity and friendly neighbourliness involving Member States and the neighbouring partner countries (24). To that effect the Union has established agreements with most neighbouring countries as well as European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plans to implement such agreements. This negotiated framework is aimed at developing a stronger and deeper relation based on shared values and mutual interest and involving a significant degree of economic integration and political cooperation. The Union has also engaged with Russia in a genuine strategic partnership, founded on common interests and shared values and based on the creation of four ‘common spaces’. The appropriations under this chapter are intended to cover cooperation measures aimed at supporting the implementation of such agreements. Cooperation with those countries with whom such agreements are not yet signed or do not exist — such as for Belarus, Libya or Syria — will be based on Union policy objectives.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended in particular to finance cooperation measures aimed primarily at supporting the implementation of the Multi Annual Indicative Programmes covering periods 2007-2010 and 2011-2013 of the ENP Action Plans concluded with the Union's Mediterranean neighbours. It will also be used to support the implementation of the five-year Euro-Mediterranean Work Plan for 2006 to 2010 agreed at the EuroMed summit held in Barcelona in November 2005 as well as certain measures in the framework of the Union for the Mediterranean which was launched at the Paris summit on 13 July 2008. This will cover, inter alia, the following areas of cooperation:

promoting political dialogue and reform,

promoting legislative and regulatory approximation and encouraging the progressive participation of partner countries in the internal market and the intensification of trade,

strengthening the national institutions responsible for the elaboration and implementation of policies in the areas covered by the association agreements,

promoting respect for human rights, including women's and children's rights, and good governance,

promoting sustainable development and contributing to poverty reduction,

supporting the modernisation of the economy, promoting investments in the region and strengthening small- and medium-sized enterprises,

establishing better transport and energy interconnections between the Union and neighbouring countries and among neighbouring countries themselves and addressing threats to our common environment,

promoting actions contributing to conflict resolution,

fostering the development of civil society, inter alia, to promote social inclusion,

promoting people-to-people contacts and exchanges in the field of education, research and culture,

contributing to the financing of the operations of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan, in particular its health, education and social services programmes,

supporting regional integration within the context of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and in particular the promotion of regional cooperation, the creation of networks and partnerships of public and private not-for-profit organisations with a view to exchanging knowledge and best practices in all the relevant fields,

supporting actions in the field of migration, designed inter alia to promote links between migration and development, to combat illegal immigration and to facilitate readmission. These actions will be supplemented by actions financed from the ENPI allocation from Article 19 02 01 01 ‘Cooperation with third countries in the areas of migration and asylum’.

Horizontal visibility of Union assistance and information actions and measures directly linked to achievement of the objectives of Union action in Mediterranean third countries.

Should there be a serious deterioration in a given country in the situation in the field of liberty, democracy, respect for fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, Union assistance may be scaled down and used primarily to support non-state actors for measures aimed at promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations. Such contributions under Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitute assigned revenue under Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this item. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used, with due regard for the Financial Regulation, for operations carried out by senior volunteer experts from the Union who come under European Senior Services Network (ESSN), including technical assistance, advisory services and training in selected public or private enterprises.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the following expenditure:

studying the effects of climate change on the quality of water in the Mediterranean,

studying pollution along the Mediterranean coastline,

examining the state of the underwater energy infrastructure (gas pipelines, oil pipelines, electricity cables, etc.),

promoting the networking of public and private research centres engaged in monitoring the water of the Mediterranean and the condition of the coastline with a view to exchanging data, sharing research findings, and developing joint proposals for intervention and protection policies.

Part of this appropriation will be allocated for additional support to Baltic Sea Strategy objectives. The support, committed in 2010 and 2011, is being implemented through support to the Northern Dimension in the framework of Regional East and Interregional Indicative Programmes. Other frameworks for implementing support to the Baltic Sea may include, where appropriate, the Baltic Sea Region Programme, the HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan, the BONUS-169 Joint Baltic Sea Research Programme, amongst others.

Remarks

Stresses that Union assistance should not be given to any authority, organisation or programme which supports or participates in the management of an action which involves such human rights abuses as coercive abortion, involuntary sterilisation or infanticide, especially where such actions apply their priorities though psychological, social, economic or legal pressure, thus finally implementing the specific Cairo International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) prohibition on coercion or compulsion in sexual and reproductive health matters; calls on the Commission to present a report on the implementation of the Union's external assistance covering this programme.

Remarks

For countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), a benchmark of 35 % of annual commitments has in the past been allocated to social infrastructure, mainly education and health, but also including macroeconomic assistance with social sector conditionality, recognising that the Union contribution must be seen as part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility should be the norm. The Commission will continue to report on this benchmark.

Moreover, in parallel with the Commission declaration concerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (DCI) (OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41), the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated, by 2009, to basic education and basic health through project programme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved.

Before July each year, the Commission will provide the European Parliament and the Council with an annual report on the Union's development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission's regulatory reporting requirements and giving full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

present the strategic objectives of the Union's development policy and its contribution towards the previous 35 % benchmark for social infrastructure and services and the current 20 % benchmark for basic and secondary education and for basic health, in the context of the geographical cooperation under the DCI, and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coherence of the Union's strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights, conflict prevention and the environment,

present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achieving their objectives,

summarise the key features and events of cooperation in each geographical region, and

provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria.

The report should also contain information on how budget support has contributed to the Millennium Development Goals. Budget support will depend on prior demonstration of sufficient institutional capacity and compliance with detailed criteria for the custody and use of funds in the recipient country. The criteria must be stated in the annual report, and compliance therewith must be assessed in the report.

After the report has been presented the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission will enter into a dialogue on the results and on how further progress can be made towards achieving the objectives.

(13) The ‘UK advantage’ corresponds to the effects arising for the United Kingdom from the changeover to capped VAT and the introduction of the GNP/GNI-based own resource.

(14) These windfall gains correspond to the net gains of the United Kingdom resulting from the increase — from 10 to 25 % as of 1 January 2001 — in the percentage of traditional own resources retained by Member States to cover the collection costs of traditional own resources (TOR).
