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 = 10 072 673 000 / (55 191 056 500 – 10 178 922 000) × 1/4 × 5 331 368 973 = 298 259 219 (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 = (5 331 368 973 – (298 259 219 + 79 528 563 + 34 786 421 + 42 441 980)) / (55 191 056 500 – (10 178 922 000 + 10 072 673 000 + 2 685 802 000 + 1 174 791 000 + 1 433 331 000)) Frozen rate = 0,164488594287511 % Uniform rate 0,5 % – 0,164488594287511 % = 0,335511405712489 %

Note: The difference of – € 106 465 028 between the definitive amount of the 2003 UK correction (€ 5 285 094 010, as calculated above) and the previously budgeted amount of the 2003 UK correction (€ 5 391 559 038, entered in the AB 8/2004) is financed in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2007. 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 5/2007. This ‘indirect effect’ corresponds to a payment of € 22 443 975 to the United Kingdom, so that the total amount entered in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2007 is a payment of € 84 021 053 from the United Kingdom (= – € 106 465 028 + € 22 443 975).

Remarks

The aim of this appropriation is to foster the competitiveness of enterprises and in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to promote innovation and to accelerate the development of a competitive, innovative, environment-friendly and inclusive information society, including in the field of e-commerce and eco-innovation.

Action in relation to eco-innovation may include supporting the take-up of environmental technologies and eco-innovative activities; co-investment in risk capital funds that provide equity also for companies investing in eco-innovation; fostering eco-innovation networks and clusters, public-private partnerships in eco-innovation and developing innovative business services, facilitating or promoting eco-innovation; promoting new and integrated approaches on eco-innovation in fields such as environmental management and the environment-friendly design of products, processes and services, taking into account their whole life cycle.

The Community will provide support to projects concerned with the first applications or market replication of innovative or eco-innovative techniques, products or practices of Community relevance which have already been technically demonstrated with success but, owing to residual risk, have not yet significantly penetrated the market. These will be designed to promote their broader utilisation within the participating countries and facilitate their market uptake.

The implemented measures shall be, in particular:

— networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders,

— market replication, projects and other measures to support the take-up of innovation,

— policy analyses, development and coordination with participating countries,

— information sharing, dissemination and awareness raising,

— support to joint actions of Member States or regions,

and other measures encompassed in the Competitiveness and Innovation framework programme.

Pilot project to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and very small enterprises (VSEs). The aim is to secure closer cooperation between Member States with a view to laying down principles for an ‘expanded mentoring’ scheme involving the transfer of the knowledge and core competences that are essential for the successful transfer of business ownership. The pilot project will also seek to ensure that experience is pooled at European level among young entrepreneurs (owners or managers of SMEs, VSEs and craft undertakings) by means of traineeships and training courses within SMEs in key or complementary sectors. The relevant representative bodies (chambers of commerce and industry and craft associations) will be responsible for supporting and promoting this programme. The beneficiaries will be young entrepreneurs (owners or managers of SMEs, VSEs and craft undertakings) who are in the process of setting up in business or are planning to transfer their business in the short to medium term.

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 sugar reform at the end of 2005. The key aim of these reforms, 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.

2007 will be a year of consolidation following the CAP reforms, of implementation of the Council decisions on the rural development framework 2007 to 2013 and the new CAP financial regulation as well as of the enlargement to Romania and Bulgaria.
