It modifies the preliminary draft budget. However, taking into account the very limited time available for its adoption by the Council and the fact that the first twelfths of own resources to be called on 1 January 2002 are calculated on the sums entered in the draft budget (Article 10, Point 3, Paragraph 11 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing the Decision on the system of own resources), the enclosed financing tables corresponding to the existing own resources Decision are directly calculated on the basis of the draft budget for 2002, as adopted by the Council on 20 July 2001.STATEMENT OF REVENUE &gt;REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC&gt;&gt;REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC&gt;&gt;REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC&gt;&gt;REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC&gt;&gt;REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC&gt;&gt;REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC&gt;&gt;REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC&gt;&gt;REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC&gt;
