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 2004. 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: Germanýs theoretical VAT contribution = [Germanýs capped VAT base / (EU capped VAT base – UK capped VAT base)] × 1/4 × United Kingdom correction Example: Germany: Germany's theoretical VAT contribution = 9 862 567 000 / (45 454 249 170 – 8 311 547 000) × 1/4 × 4 659 749 907 = 309327896,033845 (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 = 4 659 749 907 – (309327896,033845 + 71637501,7551702 + 33871527,3580631 + 36039081,7984942)] / [45 454 249 170 – (8 311 547 000 + 9 862 567 000 + 2 284 080 000 + 1 079 955 000 + 1 149 065 000)] Frozen rate = 0,184867017976958 % Uniform rate: 0,50 % – 0,184867017976958 % = 0,315132982023042 %

Remarks

Community budget appropriations under this preparatory action can be used to finance technical assistance, in particular institution-building measures and training. Special attention should be given to cross-border cooperation between financial institutions and SMEs in current and new Member States, candidate countries and countries bordering on the enlarged Union. The actions should also support the creation of partnerships and networks between local and regional banks, chambers of commerce, regional development agencies and other local and regional authorities involved in financing SMEs. Coordination with projects financed by the Phare, Tacis, CARDS and MEDA programmes is encouraged.

With coordination by the Commission, the specific actions can be managed by the following international financial institutions (IFIs) pursuant to Article 54 of the Financial Regulation: the EIB, the EIF, the EBRD, and the Council of Europe Development Bank in cooperation with the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau. The actions financed by the Community can only be linked to loans and guarantees issued by those IFIs. The appropriations eligible for technical assistance under this preparatory action, and audit and management expenditure amounting to 1,25 % of the total, must accompany the loans to the small firms.

The Community contribution will be split as a result of negotiations with the listed IFIs and is not subject to a call for tenders or call for proposals.

When the listed IFIs managing the actions choose the partner credit institutions in Member States, preference should be given to regionally based credit institutions with close business links to small enterprises. Priority should be given to actions in the new Member States.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (OJ C 172, 18.6.1999, p. 1).

Remarks

This appropriation is only intended to cover the Agency’s operating expenditure relating to the work programme (Title 3).

During the budgetary procedure and even during the financial year, when a letter of amendment or an amending budget is submitted, the Commission shall inform the budgetary authority beforehand of any changes in the budget of the agencies, in particular concerning the establishment plans published in the budget. Such a procedure is in accordance with the provisions on transparency set out in the Interinstitutional Declaration of 17 November 1995 and implemented in the form of a code of conduct agreed by Parliament, the Commission and the agencies.

In recent years the number of agencies has increased significantly (six), the budget for the agencies has absorbed a large proportion of the margin in heading 3 and there have been significant staff increases.

Under the new Financial Regulation (Article 185) and the new corresponding articles of the framework regulation for each of the bodies set up by the Communities, the role of the budgetary authority has been strengthened.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

The amounts repaid in accordance with Article 16 of the Framework Financial Regulation for the bodies referred to in Article 185 of the Financial Regulation constitute assigned revenue (Article 18(1) (f) of the Financial Regulation) to be charged to article 6 6 0 0 of the general statement of revenue.

Estimated revenue and expenditure for the financial year is as follows:

Revenue: (EU-15) —Title 1 52700000 — Title 2 ‘Community subsidy’ (Items 02 04 02 01 and 02 04 02 02) 22100000 ‘Community subsidy for orphan medicinal products’ (Item 02 04 02 03) 3500000 — Title 3 ‘Miscellaneous revenue’ 3024000 Total 81324000 Expenditure: — Title 1 ‘Staff’ 35364000 — Title 2 ‘Administrative expenditure’ 15932000 — Title 3 ‘Operating expenditure’ 30028000 Total 81324000

This appropriation is intended to cover the special contribution provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 141/2000, as opposed to the one provided for in Article 57 of Regulation (EEC) No 2309/93, which the Agency uses exclusively for compensating for the total or partial non-recovery of payments due for an orphan medicinal product.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto.
