COUNCIL DECISION

of 26 May 2014

on the system of own resources of the European Union

(2014/335/EU, Euratom)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the third paragraph of Article 311 thereof,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 106a thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national Parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,

Whereas:

| (1) | The own resources system of the Union must ensure adequate resources for the orderly development of the policies of the Union, subject to the need for strict budgetary discipline. The development of the own resources system can and should also contribute to wider budgetary consolidation efforts undertaken in Member States and participate, to the greatest extent possible, in the development of the policies of the Union. |

(1)

The own resources system of the Union must ensure adequate resources for the orderly development of the policies of the Union, subject to the need for strict budgetary discipline. The development of the own resources system can and should also contribute to wider budgetary consolidation efforts undertaken in Member States and participate, to the greatest extent possible, in the development of the policies of the Union.

| (2) | This Decision should enter into force only once it has been approved by all Member States in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements, thus fully respecting national sovereignty. |

(2)

This Decision should enter into force only once it has been approved by all Member States in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements, thus fully respecting national sovereignty.

| (3) | The European Council of 7 and 8 February 2013 concluded, inter alia, that the own resources arrangements should be guided by the overall objectives of simplicity, transparency and equity. Those arrangements should therefore ensure, in line with the relevant conclusions of the 1984 Fontainebleau European Council, that no Member State sustain a budgetary burden which is excessive in relation to its relative prosperity. It is therefore appropriate to introduce provisions covering specific Member States. |

It is therefore appropriate to introduce provisions covering specific Member States.

| (4) | The European Council of 7 and 8 February 2013 concluded that Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden are to benefit from reduced call rates for the own resource based on value added tax (VAT) for the period 2014-2020 only. It also concluded that Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden are to benefit from gross reductions in their annual contributions based on gross national income (GNI) for the period 2014-2020 only and that Austria is to benefit from gross reductions in its annual GNI-based contributions for the period 2014-2016 only. The European Council of 7 and 8 February 2013 concluded that the existing correction mechanism in favour of the United Kingdom is to continue to apply. |

The European Council of 7 and 8 February 2013 concluded that the existing correction mechanism in favour of the United Kingdom is to continue to apply.

| (5) | The European Council of 7 and 8 February 2013 concluded that the system for collection of traditional own resources is to remain unchanged. However, from 1 January 2014, Member States are to retain, by way of collection costs, 20 % of the amounts collected by them. |

The European Council of 7 and 8 February 2013 concluded that the system for collection of traditional own resources is to remain unchanged. However, from 1 January 2014, Member States are to retain, by way of collection costs, 20 % of the amounts collected by them.

| (6) | In order to ensure strict budgetary discipline, and taking into account the Commission Communication of 16 April 2010 on the adaptation of the ceiling of own resources and of the ceiling for appropriations for commitments following the decision to apply FISIM for own resources purposes, the ceiling of own resources should be equal to 1,23 % of the sum of the Member States' GNIs at market prices for appropriations for payments and the ceiling of 1,29 % of the sum of the Member States' GNIs should be set for appropriations for commitments. Those ceilings are based on ESA 95 including financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM) as the data based on the revised European System of Accounts set up by Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) (‘ESA 2010’) has not been available at the time of the adoption of this Decision. In order to maintain unchanged the amount of financial resources put at the disposal of the Union, it is appropriate to adapt these ceilings expressed in percentages of GNI. Those ceilings should be adapted as soon as all Member States have transmitted their data on the basis of ESA 2010. In the event that there are any amendments to ESA 2010 which entail a significant change in the level of GNI, the ceilings for own resources and for commitment appropriations should be adapted again. |

| (7) | The European Council of 7 and 8 February 2013 called upon the Council to continue working on the proposal of the Commission for a new own resource based on VAT to make it as simple and transparent as possible, to strengthen the link with EU VAT policy and actual VAT receipts, and to ensure equal treatment of taxpayers in all Member States. The European Council concluded that the new VAT own resource could replace the existing own resource based on VAT. The European Council also noted that on 22 January 2013 the Council adopted the Council Decision authorising enhanced cooperation in the area of financial transaction tax (2). It invited the participating Member States to examine if it could become the base for a new own resource for the EU budget. It concluded that this would not impact non-participating Member States and would not impact the calculation of the United Kingdom correction. |

Article 1

Subject matter

This Decision lays down rules on the allocation of own resources of the Union in order to ensure, pursuant to Article 311 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), the financing of the Union's annual budget.

Article 2

Categories of own resources and specific methods for their calculation

1.   Revenue from the following shall constitute own resources entered in the budget of the Union:

| (a) | traditional own resources consisting of 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 Union in respect of trade with third countries, customs duties on products under the expired Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, as well as contributions and other duties provided for within the framework of the common organisation of the markets in sugar; |

| (b) | without prejudice to the second subparagraph of paragraph 4, the application of a uniform rate valid for all Member States to the harmonised VAT assessment bases determined in accordance with Union rules. For each Member State the assessment base to be taken into account for this purpose shall not exceed 50 % of gross national income (GNI), as defined in paragraph 7; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

without prejudice to the second subparagraph of paragraph 4, the application of a uniform rate valid for all Member States to the harmonised VAT assessment bases determined in accordance with Union rules. For each Member State the assessment base to be taken into account for this purpose shall not exceed 50 % of gross national income (GNI), as defined in paragraph 7;

| (c) | without prejudice to the second subparagraph of paragraph 5, the application of a uniform rate, to be determined pursuant to the budgetary procedure in the light of the total of all other revenue, to the sum of GNI of all the Member States. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

without prejudice to the second subparagraph of paragraph 5, the application of a uniform rate, to be determined pursuant to the budgetary procedure in the light of the total of all other revenue, to the sum of GNI of all the Member States.

2.   Revenue deriving from any new charges introduced within the framework of a common policy, in accordance with the TFEU, provided that the procedure laid down in Article 311 TFEU has been followed, shall also constitute own resources entered in the budget of the Union.

3.   Member States shall retain, by way of collection costs, 20 % of the amounts referred to in point (a) of paragraph 1.

4.   The uniform rate referred to in paragraph 1(b) shall be fixed at 0,30 %.

For the period 2014-2020 only, the rate of call of the VAT-based own resource for Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden shall be fixed at 0,15 %.

5.   The uniform rate referred to in paragraph 1(c) shall apply to the GNI of each Member State.

For the period 2014-2020 only, Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden shall benefit from gross reductions in their annual GNI-based contribution of EUR 130 million, EUR 695 million and EUR 185 million respectively. Austria shall benefit from a gross reduction in its annual GNI-based contribution of EUR 30 million in 2014, EUR 20 million in 2015 and EUR 10 million in 2016. All these amounts shall be measured in 2011 prices and adjusted to current prices by applying the most recent GDP deflator for the EU expressed in euro, as provided by the Commission, which is available when the draft budget is drawn up. These gross reductions shall be granted after the calculation of the correction in favour of the United Kingdom and its financing referred to in Articles 4 and 5 of this Decision and shall have no impact thereon. These gross reductions shall be financed by all Member States.

6.   If, at the beginning of the financial year, the budget has not been adopted, the existing VAT and GNI rates of call shall remain applicable until the entry into force of the new rates.

7.   GNI referred to in paragraph 1(c) shall mean an annual GNI at market price, as provided by the Commission in application of Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 (‘ESA 2010’).

Should amendments to ESA 2010 result in significant changes in the GNI referred to in paragraph 1(c), the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal of the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, shall decide whether these amendments are to apply for the purposes of this Decision.

Article 3

Own resources ceiling

1.   The total amount of own resources allocated to the Union to cover annual appropriations for payments shall not exceed 1,23 % of the sum of all the Member States' GNIs.

2.   The total annual amount of appropriations for commitments entered in the Union's budget shall not exceed 1,29 % of the sum of all the Member States' GNIs.

An orderly ratio between appropriations for commitments and appropriations for payments shall be maintained to guarantee their compatibility and to enable the ceiling pursuant to paragraph 1 to be respected in subsequent years.

3.   For the purposes of this Decision, as soon as all Member States have transmitted their data on the basis of ESA 2010, the Commission shall recalculate the ceilings set out in paragraphs 1 and 2 on the basis of the following formula:

Formula

In that formula, ‘t’ is the latest full year for which the data for the calculation of GNI are available.

4.   Where amendments to ESA 2010 result in significant changes in the level of GNI, the Commission shall recalculate the ceilings set out in paragraphs 1 and 2, as recalculated in accordance with paragraph 3, on the basis of the following formula:

Formula

In that formula, ‘t’ is the latest full year for which the data for the calculation of GNI are available.

In that formula, ‘x’ and ‘y’ respectively are the ceilings as recalculated according to paragraph 3.
