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 2007. 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 = 9 919 942 000 / (53 473 109 000 – 9 693 423 000) × 1/4 × 5 251 202 631 = 297 464 591 (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 = 5 251 202 631 – (297 464 591 + 76 765 475 + 34 259 575 + 39 897 761)) / (53 473 109 000 – (9 693 423 000 + 9 919 942 000 + 2 559 999 000 + 1 142 499 000 + 1 330 523 000)) Frozen rate = 0,166609823430018 % Uniform rate 0,5 % – 0,166609823430018 % = 0,333390176569982 %

TITLE 08

RESEARCH

Overall objectives

The Commission's policy initiatives to achieve the European Research Area are devised, developed and followed up within this policy area.

European research contributes to attaining the objectives of the other Community policies and, in return, promotes the incorporation of research policy needs in these policies.

Community actions required to achieve the European Research Area are devised and implemented within this policy area, in particular the research and technological development framework programmes.

This domain contributes to implementing the Lisbon strategy for employment, international competitiveness, economic reform and social cohesion in the European Union, in particular in connection with the establishment of an area of education, training, research and innovation.

Remarks

These remarks apply to all the budget headings in this title (with the exception of Chapter 08 22).

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in actions under the Seventh Framework Programme and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 391, 30.12.2006, p. 1) and Council Regulation (Euratom) No 1908/2006 of 19 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in action under the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2011) (OJ L 400, 30.12.2006, p. 1).

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 will be applicable. 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 to 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 Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community 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 Community's RTD strategy.

The participation of third countries or organisations from third countries in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research is possible in the case of some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1 6 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from third parties sharing the cost of projects with the Community (firms in European Free Trade Association Member States, industrial consortia, etc.) entered in Article 6 0 1 5 of the statement of revenue may give rise to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from outside bodies for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 08 21 04.

In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by these appropriations, as laid down in the regulation, more specific action is needed. Qualifying projects under the SME Specific Programmes should be made eligible for funding under the thematic programme when they fulfil the necessary (thematic) requirements.

Increasing investment in research and development up to the 3 % objective and improving its effectiveness is a top priority of the Lisbon strategy for growth and employment. Thus, the development of a coherent mix of policies to leverage public and private research investments is a major concern for public authorities. Actions under this heading will support the development of effective and coherent research policies at regional, national and Community level, through the provision of structured information, indicators and analysis, and through actions aimed at the coordination of research policies, in particular the application of the Open Method of Coordination to research policy.
