Calculation of the uniform call rate for VAT own resources (Article 2(4) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom):

Uniform rate (%) = Maximum call rate – frozen rate |

A.The maximum call rate is set at 0,50 % for 2005. |

B.Determination of the rate frozen by the correction of budgetary imbalances granted to the United Kingdom (Article 2(4)(b) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom): |

(1)calculation of the theoretical share of the countries with a restricted financial burden: |

In accordance with Article 5(1) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom, the financial contribution of Germany (DE), the Netherlands (NL), Austria (AT) and Sweden (SE) is restricted to a quarter of their normal contribution. |

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 |

Germany's theoretical VAT contribution = 9683287000 / (48713466000 – 9378285500) × 1/4 × 5115150953 = 314803912 |

(2)calculation of the frozen rate: |

Frozen rate = [UK correction – theoretical VAT contributions (D + NL + A + S)]/[EU capped VAT base – capped VAT bases (UK+ D + NL + A + S)] |

Frozen rate = 5115150953 – (314803912 + 73329289 + 35991362 + 40197704)]/[48713466000 – (9378285500 + 9683287000 + 2255590000 + 1107085000 + 1236471000)] |

Frozen rate = 0,18564146250792 % |

Uniform rate |

0,5 % – 0,18564146250792 % = 0,31435853749208 % |

Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing Decision 94/728/EC, Euratom on the system of the Communities' own resources (OJ L 130, 31.5.2000, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2028/2004 (OJ L 352, 27.11.2004, p. 1).

Council Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom of 29 September 2000 on the system of the European Communities' own resources (OJ L 253, 7.10.2000, p. 42), and in particular Article 7 thereof.

Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1), and in particular Article 15 thereof.

Article 15 of the Financial Regulation states that the balance from each financial year, whether surplus or deficit, is entered as revenue expenditure in the budget of the subsequent financial year.

The relevant estimates of such revenue or expenditure are entered in the budget during the budgetary procedure and, where appropriate, in a letter of amendment submitted pursuant to Article 34 of the Financial Regulation. They are drawn up in accordance with the principles set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.

After the closure of the accounts for each financial year, any discrepancy in relation to the estimates is entered in the budget for the following financial year through an amending budget.

A deficit is entered in Item 27 02 01 of the statement of expenditure of Section III "Commission".

[1] Amending budgets 1 to 4/2005 included.

[2] The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2004 budget (OJ L 53, 23.2.2004, p. 1) plus amending budgets 1 to 10/2004.

[3] The third paragraph of Article 268 of the Treaty establishing the European Community reads: "The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance"

[4] Amending budgets 1 to 4/2005 included.

[5] The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2004 budget (OJ L 53, 23.2.2004, p. 1) plus amending budgets 1 to 10/2004.

[6] The own resources for the 2005 budget are determined on the basis of the budget forecasts adopted at the 131st meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources on 20 April 2004.

[7] The third paragraph of Article 268 of the Treaty establishing the European Community reads: "The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance"

[8] The base to be used does not exceed 50 % of GNI.

[9] Calculation of rate: (74802331313) / (105840366000) = 0,706746718099973 %.

[10] Rounded figures.

[11] This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure so that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains unabated after enlargement.

[12] This is the benefit the United Kingdom derives from the present own resources system in relation to earlier systems as a result of the introduction of the GNP/GNI resource and the capping of VAT bases.

[13] These windfall gains are the benefit the United Kingdom derives from the present own resources system in relation to earlier systems as a result of the increase since 2001 in the percentage of traditional own resources that Member States retain to cover their collection costs.
