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. |

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

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

(1)

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 = 9 540 668 000 / (48 931 509 500 – 8 832 022 500 ) × 1/4 × 5 185 683 679 = 308 450 868

| (2) | calculation of the frozen rate: |
| --- | --- |

(2)

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 = [5 185 683 679 – (308 450 868 + 74 601 411 + 33 818 429 + 39 910 586 )] / [48 931 509 500 – (8 832 022 500 + 9 540 668 000 + 2 307 490 000 + 1 046 035 000 + 1 234 471 000 )]

Frozen rate = 0,182085195550907 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0,182085195550907 % = 0,317914804449093 %

Note: The difference of € 130 672 532 between the definitive amount of the 2001 UK correction (€ 4 896 335 040, as calculated above) and the previously budgeted amount of the 2001 UK correction (€ 5 027 007 572, entered in the SAB 3/2002) is financed in chapter 3 5 of the PDAB 5/2005. 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 PDAB 5/2005. This ‘indirect effect’ corresponds to € 2 620 769 for the United Kingdom, so that the total amount entered in chapter 3 5 of the PDAB 5/2005 for the United Kingdom is € 133 293 301.

Remarks

Council Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom of 29 September 2000 on the system of the Communities’ own resources (OJ L 253, 7.10.2000, p. 42), and in particular Article 2(1)(a) thereof.

Agricultural duties are levied on imports from non-member countries of agricultural products subject to legislation, the purpose of which is to offset differences between the world prices and the price levels agreed on for the Community.

Forecasts from 2003 onwards are net figures (without collection costs).

TITLE 05

AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Overall objectives

The objectives of the common agricultural policy (CAP) derive directly from the Treaty and are, in particular, to stabilise markets, ensure a fair standard of living in the farming community and guarantee security of supplies.

The CAP has been reformed a number of times since it was first introduced, most recently with the agreement signed in June 2003 in Luxembourg. The key aim of that reform, as part of Agenda 2000, was to shift the slant of the farm economy towards the market in order to make the agricultural sector more competitive. Reflecting the multipurpose application of agricultural activity, the CAP must also be fully compatible with sustainable development, in particular by promoting environmentally friendly production methods and the effective use of resources. Rural development, the second pillar of the CAP, aims at enhancing the competitiveness of rural areas and preserving the environment and rural heritage in order to secure the future of rural areas and promote job maintenance and creation.

In 2005, the priorities for 2004 will be pursued, in particular as regards the implementation of the reforms adopted in 2003 and 2004, the operational application of the acquis in the new member countries and the World Trade Organisation (WTO) negotiations. These priorities are in addition to the regular activities of CAP.

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections, any revenue from which is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. That revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, in accordance with Article 18 of 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), in specific instances where they are necessary to cover risks of cancellation or of reductions in corrections previously decided upon.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 determines the conditions for repayment of an advance without having the effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds towards the assistance concerned. Any revenue from the repayment of advances, which is entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue, will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation is continued, in accordance with the abovementioned decision of the Berlin European Council to provide EUR 500 million for the new period of validity of the programme. Additionality is to be fully observed as a condition for continuing this programme. The Commission is to submit an annual report to the European Parliament on this measure.

Measures to combat fraud are funded from Article 24 02 01.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover measures under the Leader+ Community initiative relating to rural development.

An indicative amount representing a maximum of 2 % of the budget allocation for this initiative will be reserved for financing technical assistance. Where such technical assistance measures are carried out at the initiative of the Commission, up to 100 % of their total cost can be financed.

This appropriation is also intended to finance a new project to speed up the process of strengthening civil society and entrepreneurship, throughout rural Europe, by providing grants, loans and guarantees. A fund for increased investment in Social and Private Initiatives in Rural Europe (SPIRE) will receive contributions from the EU, the Member States as well as private foundations and enterprises. It will operate on a transnational basis, managed by experienced foundations, under the supervision of a board representing all contributors, who will establish the main parameters of its work. The fund will be used to support the creation of civil society organisations, at regional or local level throughout rural Europe, national or multinational networks which aim to strengthen civil society in rural areas, programmes for capacity-building and support for individual entrepreneurs, mutual guarantee groups, credit unions and other institutional forms of support for individual and collective entrepreneurship, and the creation of regional investment funds to serve the risk-capital needs of rural enterprises in rural areas.

TITLE 11

FISHERIES

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 five operational activities: specific measures in support of the CFP (including conservation of fisheries resources, control and dialogue with fisheries sector), relations and agreements with third countries and international organisations, common organisation of the fisheries market, fisheries research and structural measures for fisheries through the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG).

Sixty percent of appropriations is devoted to the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG). However, the FIFG operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as a part of decentralised management.

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections, any revenue from which is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. That revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, in accordance with Article 18 of 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), in specific instances where they are necessary to cover risks of cancellation or of reductions in corrections previously decided upon.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 determines the conditions for repayment of an advance without having the effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds towards the assistance concerned. Any revenue from the repayment of advances, which is entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue, will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation is continued, in accordance with the abovementioned decisions of the Berlin European Council, to provide EUR 500 million for the new period of validity of the programme. Additionality is to be fully observed. The Commission is to submit an annual report to the European Parliament on this measure.

Measures to combat fraud are funded under Article 24 02 01.

Legal basis

Amending budget No. 8

New amount

10 000 000

10 000 000

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the Community contribution to measures to eliminate obstacles to the free movement of goods in these sectors and to veterinary support and back-up measures.

One important measure is providing financial assistance for the work of the Community reference laboratories designated in Community legislation. The work they do helps improve control over animal diseases and prevent them, reduce the risks as far as possible and protect public health through improving conditions for surveillance of biological and chemical hazards.

This appropriation also covers expenditure on the monitoring of compliance with animal-protection provisions during the transport of animals for slaughter.

Credits of this line can also be used for the establishment and the maintenance of a rapid alert system for the notification of a direct or indirect risk to human health deriving from food or feed.

It is also intended to finance the development of marker vaccines or tests which can distinguish between sick and vaccinated animals.

Technical and scientific measures necessary to develop Community veterinary legislation, for example the surveillance of Campylobacter in broilers in Sweden, are also covered by this appropriation.

Legal basis

Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (OJ L 224, 18.8.1990, p. 19), as last amended by Directive 2003/99/EC (OJ L 325, 12.12.2003, p. 31).

Article 50 of regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and the general requirements of the food law, instituting the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures relating to the food safety (OJ L 31, 1.2.2002, p. 1).

Remarks

The appearance of certain animal diseases in the Community could possibly have a major impact on operation of the internal market and on the Community's commercial relations with third countries. Against that backdrop, the Community should make a financial contribution towards the eradication, as quickly as possible, of any outbreak of a serious infectious disease when Member States deploy Community means to combat epizootic diseases.

Legal basis

Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (OJ L 224, 18.8.1990, p. 19), as last amended by Directive 2003/99/EC (OJ L 325, 12.12.2003, p. 31).
