Formula for a country with a restricted financial burden, for example Germany:

Germany's theoretical VAT contribution = (Germany's capped VAT base / (EU capped VAT base – UK capped VAT base)) × 1/4 × United Kingdom correction

Example: Germany

Example: Germany

Germany's theoretical VAT contribution = 10 693 785 000 / (57 958 198 000 – 9 844 979 000 ) × 1/4 × 6 534 458 982 = 363 091 999

Overall objectives

Overall objectives

Action in this policy area aims to ensure the smooth functioning of economic and monetary union (EMU) both inside and outside the European Union, by advancing economic policy coordination, conducting economic surveillance and providing the Commission and other Community institutions with high-quality policy assessment and advice on economic and financial questions. This entails monitoring economic developments in the Union and in third countries, cooperating with international organisations and following international financial issues. Operational activities include the implementation of EU investment financing programmes on behalf of other Commission departments, in close cooperation with the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Investment Fund (EIF) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and financial market operations (borrowing and lending, treasury management and management of the Guarantee Fund as well as macro-financial assistance to third countries).

The action taken by the Community pursuant to Article 158 of the Treaty shall be designed to strengthen the economic and social cohesion of the enlarged Community in order to promote the harmonious, balanced and sustainable development of the Community. This action shall be taken with the aid of the Funds, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and other existing financial instruments. It shall aim to reduce the economic, social and territorial disparities which have arisen, particularly in countries and regions whose development is lagging behind, in connection with speeding-up of economic and social restructuring and population ageing.

The action taken under the Funds shall incorporate, at national and regional level, the Community'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.

TITLE 11

FISHERIES AND MARITIME AFFAIRS

Overall objectives

Overall objectives

This policy area includes all the activities covered by the common fisheries policy (CFP) which comes under the exclusive competence of the Community. It concerns all fisheries activities as well as the processing and marketing of these products.

It also ensures that the relevant provisions of Community law are rightly applied in the fisheries sector.

The policy area covers the following operational activities: common organisation of the fisheries market, relations and agreements with third countries and international organisations, fisheries governance, fisheries research, structural measures for fisheries through the European Fisheries Fund (EFF), conservation of fisheries resources, and control and enforcement. Finally, a new activity relates to maritime affairs, with a preparatory action for launching implementation of the European maritime policy.

Sixty per cent of appropriations are devoted to the EFF. However, the EFF operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as part of shared management.

Proposed agreement withdrawn

The financial contribution resulting from old fisheries agreements generally includes a part whose use is left entirely to the discretion of the relevant governments and a contribution to measures designed to ensure sustainable management of the third country's fishery resources. For new partnership agreements a global envelope is allocated. The amounts for 2008 concerning fisheries agreements in force can be broken down as follows (commitments): financial contribution EUR 4 769 000, support to the fisheries policy and other targeted measures EUR 3 114 000, and global envelopes for recent partnership agreements EUR 146 490 000. In the case of Mauritania, the current protocol in force (2006-2008) can be renewed by tacit renewal for an additional period of two years. Should this not be the case, the corresponding amount for 2008 will be transferred to the reserve line.

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections for which any revenue is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. This revenue may be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation in specific cases where they are required to cover the risk of corrections adopted earlier being cancelled or reduced. Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 provides for financial corrections for the period 2007 to 2013.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lays down the conditions for the repayment of payments on account which does not have the effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operation concerned. Any revenue arising from the repayment of payments on account entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation. Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 lays down the conditions for reimbursement of pre-financing for the period 2007 to 2013.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation will continue until 2010, in accordance with the conclusions of the Brussels European Council of 15 and 16 December 2005.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments made in previous years in the context of the preceding programme of Community action in the field of public health.

The aim of this programme was to contribute to attaining a high level of health protection by directing action towards improving public health, preventing human illness and diseases, and obviating sources of danger to health.

Its three main priorities were:

| — | to improve information and knowledge for the development of public health and the strengthening and maintenance of effective health interventions and efficient health systems, by developing and operating a well-structured and comprehensive system for collecting, analysing, evaluating and imparting health information and knowledge to competent authorities, health professionals and the public, and by undertaking assessments of and reporting on the health situation and health-related policies, systems and measures, |

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs), particularly goal 1 to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.

In accordance 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 (OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41) (the DCI), for countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients, by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the Commission will continue to report annually on the benchmark, used in the past but now superseded, of 35 % of assistance to developing countries to be allocated to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the EU contribution must be seen as a part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility must be the norm.

Moreover, also in accordance with that Commission Declaration, 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 and secondary 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 to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report on the Community'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, 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, |

Remarks

The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to assist the new Member States in their efforts to strengthen their administrative capacity to implement Community legislation and to foster the exchange of best practice.

The transition facility for the 10 new Member States which joined the EU on 1 May 2004 ran from 2004 to 2006. Implementation will continue until at least 2009. Another transition facility for Bulgaria and Romania is provided for in the Act of Accession (2005), lasting one year following their accession to the EU. Implementation is expected to continue until 2010.

The transition facility is to continue institution-building activities according to the same principles as funded by Phare during the pre-accession period. Therefore, the structures and methods established under Phare for programming and decision-making will continue to apply for the transition facility, with some minor adjustments.

The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to provide assistance to new Member States in areas where their administrative and institutional capacity is still not able to deliver on a par with the other Member States. The transition facility should provide the tools to enable them to react rapidly and precisely to weaknesses identified, primarily where safeguard clauses have been, or risk being, invoked.

The assistance shall address the continued need for strengthening institutional capacity in certain areas through actions which cannot be financed by the Structural Funds, in particular in the following areas:

| — | justice and home affairs (strengthening of the judicial system, external border controls, anti-corruption strategy, strengthening of law enforcement capacities), |

The issues addressed by the transition facility have been identified in the comprehensive monitoring report. Priority should be given to areas where safeguard clauses have been, or risk being, invoked to secure rapid remedial action.

Part of each allocation may be assigned to multi-beneficiary programmes, including audit and evaluation actions. The remainder is distributed between the new Member States.

The appropriations in the title ‘Reserves’ are intended for two circumstances only: (a) where No basic act exists for the action concerned when the budget is established; and (b) where there are serious grounds for doubting the adequacy of the appropriations or the possibility of implementing, under conditions consistent with sound financial management, the appropriations entered in the headings concerned. The appropriations entered in this item may be used only after transfer in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 24 of the Financial Regulation.

The breakdown is as follows (commitments, payments):

The aim of this reserve, in accordance with Point 25 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and sound financial management, is to allow a rapid response to the specific aid requirements of third countries following events which could not be foreseen when the budget was established, first and foremost for humanitarian operations, but also for civil crisis management and protection where circumstances so require. The annual amount of the Reserve is fixed at EUR 221 000 000 for the duration of the financial framework, in constant prices. This amount has as an exception been raised to EUR 479 218 000 for 2008 at current prices.

The Reserve is entered in the general budget of the European Union as a provision. The corresponding commitment appropriations will be entered in the budget, if necessary, over and above the ceilings.

When the Commission considers that the Reserve needs to be called on, it will present to the two arms of the budgetary authority a proposal for a transfer from the Reserve to the relevant budget lines.

At the same time as it presents its proposal for a transfer, the Commission will initiate a trialogue procedure, if necessary in a simplified form, to secure agreement of the two arms of the budgetary authority on the need to use the Reserve and on the amount required.

Note: The difference of – € 122 514 360 between the definitive amount of the 2004 UK correction (€ 5 547 862 430, as calculated above) and the previously budgeted amount of the 2004 UK correction (€ 5 425 348 070, entered in the AB 3/2006) is financed in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2008. This impact is the so-called 'direct effect' of the UK correction. A supplementary adjustment, to take into account the so-called 'indirect effect' of the UK correction on the uniform rate of call of the VAT-based own resource, is also financed in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2008. This 'indirect effect' corresponds to an increase of € 20 611 312 for the United Kingdom, so that the total amount entered in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2008 is a payment of € 101 903 048 to the United Kingdom (= – € 122 514 360 + € 20 611 312).
