CHAPTER 1 4 — OWN RESOURCES BASED ON GROSS NATIONAL INCOME PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 2(1)(C) OF DECISION 2007/436/EC, EURATOM

1 4 0

Own resources based on gross national income pursuant to Article 2(1)(c) of Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom

Budget 2017 Amending budget No 4/2017 New amount 103 516 693 721 –7 803 181 224 95 713 512 497

Remarks

The GNI-based resource is an ‘additional’ resource, providing the revenue required to cover expenditure in excess of the amount yielded by traditional own resources, VAT-based payments and other revenue in any particular year. By implication, the GNI-based resource ensures that the general budget of the Union is always balanced ex ante.

The GNI call rate is determined by the additional revenue needed to finance the budgeted expenditure not covered by the other resources (VAT-based payments, traditional own resources and other revenue). Thus a call rate is applied to the GNI of each of the Member States.

The rate to be applied to the Member States’ gross national income for this financial year is 0,6514 %.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled for programmes under the ESF convergence objective in the 2007-2013 programming period. That objective is aimed at speeding up the convergence of the least developed Member States and regions by improving conditions for growth and employment.

This appropriation aims to reduce the economic, social and territorial disparities which have arisen, particularly in countries and regions whose development is lagging behind, in connection with the speeding-up of economic and social restructuring and population ageing.

This appropriation is intended to cover ESF support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in less developed regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. The catching-up process for these economically and socially lagging regions requires long-term sustained efforts. This category of regions concerns those regions whose GDP per capita is less than 75 % of the average GDP of the EU-27.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover ESF support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in the 2014-2020 programming period in a new category of region (‘transition regions’) that replaces the 2007-2013 phasing-out and phasing-in system. This category of regions includes all regions with a GDP per capita is between 75 and 90 % of the average GDP of the EU-27.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover ESF support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in more developed regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. While interventions in the less developed regions will remain the priority for cohesion policy, this appropriation is thus intended to cover important challenges that concern all Member States such as global competition in the knowledge-based economy, the shift towards the low carbon economy and social polarisation exacerbated by the current economic climate. This category of regions concerns those regions whose GDP per capita is above 90 % of the average GDP of the EU-27.

Remarks

These budgetary remarks are applicable to all the budget lines in this chapter.

This appropriation will be used for Horizon 2020 — the framework programme for research and innovation, which covers the 2014-2020 period and brings together all existing Union research and innovation funding, including the framework programme for research, the innovation related activities of the competitiveness and innovation framework programme and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). The programme shall play a central role in the implementation of the Europe 2020 flagship initiative ‘Innovation Union’ and other flagship initiatives, notably ‘A digital agenda for Europe’‘Resource-efficient Europe’ and ‘An industrial policy for the globalisation era’, as well as in the development and functioning of the European Research Area (ERA). Horizon 2020 shall contribute to building an economy based on knowledge and innovation across the whole Union by leveraging sufficient additional research, development and innovation funding. The appropriation will be used also for the completion of the previous research programmes (Seventh Framework Programme and preceding framework programmes).

This appropriation will be used in accordance with the Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 laying down the rules for the participation and dissemination in ‘Horizon 2020 — the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020)’ and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 81).

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, must be added to the appropriations entered in this chapter. 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 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidates for participating in Union programmes entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Pilot project — Optimisation of non-invasive opto-acoustic in situ underwater fish detection using a UFO pre-prototype to foster EEA based stock assessments and a better Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) implementation

Budget 2017 Amending budget No 4/2017 New amount Commitments Payments Commitments Payments Commitments Payments 200 000 100 000 – 200 000 p.m. 100 000

Remarks

The proposed research is completely new in so far as it synchronously combines highly resolved acoustical (medium to far field) and optical (near field) imaging (low light, high frequencies) through a blending and calibration mechanism to translate the information from the near field into the far field and vice versa. This is to quantify fish abundance, biomass, and diversity in key areas as well as other MSFD indicators (through a further set of (environmental) instrumentation). Instead of snapshots (as generated like in regular surveys) ‘videos’ will be produced, where the assessment method will be following international (ICES) standards. The complete system is anticipated to work autonomously, continuously and non-invasively in an event based mode to save energy.

As a research platform an opto-acoustic lander hardware (underwater fish observatory, UFO) will be provided by the research institute at no cost for the project, for optimising the pattern recognition algorithms and related research.

The indicated amount covers inter alia the costs for biometrical measurements of fish, modelling of fish age-, length-, biomass-, volume-to-photo/video relationships, quantification of the reef effect through tagging experiments, calibration (integration) of biological results with those from acoustics and optics, optimisation of survey design from a biological perspective, migration and single fish separation (medium to far field fish tracing), event based control of the full instrumentation, distance estimation (near field stereo-metrics), fish separation (near field fish tracing) and calibration (integration) of optical results with those from acoustics and biology.

The complete system is anticipated to work autonomously, continuously and non-invasively in an event based mode to save energy (Is that fish or something else? If fish, then switch on the full instrumentation). The two underwater fish observatories of the test array will be trained to learn talking to each other and exchanging relevant information (for instance, related to the reef effect).

The indicated amount covers inter alia the costs for biometrical measurements of fish, modelling of fish age-, length, biomass-, volume-to-photo/video relationships, quantification of reef effect through tagging experiments, calibration (integration) of biological results with those from acoustics and optics, optimisation of survey design from a biological perspective, migration and single fish separation (medium to far field fish tracing), event based control of the full instrumentation, distance estimation (near field stereo-metrics), distance estimation (near field stereo-metrics), calibration (integration) of optical results with those from acoustics and biology, array hardware and technical sensor interfacing.
