Calculation of the uniform call rate for VAT own resources

A. The maximum call rate is set at 0,75 % for 2003.

B. Determination of the rate frozen by the 2002 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 (D), the Netherlands (NL), Austria (A)
and Sweden (S) 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 = 9 655 386 000 / (42 788 313 000 − 8 403 395 000) × 1/4 × 5 488 717 817 = 385 312 022,32482

(2) calculation of the frozen rate

Frozen rate 1 = [UK correction − theoretical VAT contributions (D + NL + A + S)] / [EU capped VAT base − capped VAT bases (UK + D + NL +
A + S)]

Frozen rate 1 = [5 488 717 817 − (385 312 022,32482 + 88 539 407,0347389 + 41 633 983,3302637 + 44 453 253,1596813)] / [42 788 313 000
− (8 403 395 000 + 9 655 386 000 + 2 218 675 000 + 1 043 290 000 + 1 113 937 000)]

Frozen rate 1 = 0,242157254069692 %

C. Determination of the rate frozen by the 1999 correction of budgetary imbalances granted to the United Kingdom (Article 2(4)(b)) of

Decision 94/728/EC, Euratom):

(1) calculation of the theoretical share of the countries with a restricted financial burden:

In accordance with Article 5(1) of Decision 94/728/EC, Euratom, the financial contribution of Germany (D) is restricted to two thirds of its normal
contribution.

Calculation formula for Germany

Germany’s theoretical VAT contribution = [Germany’s capped VAT base / (EU capped VAT base − UK capped VAT base)] × 2/3 × United Kingdom
correction

Example: Germany:

Germany’s theoretical VAT contribution = 9 655 386 000 / (42 788 313 000 – 8 403 395 000) × 2/3 × − 13 009 542 = − 2 435 411,74444

(2) calculation of the frozen rate

Frozen rate 1 = [UK correction − theoretical VAT contributions (D)] / [EU capped VAT base − capped VAT bases (UK + D)]

Frozen rate 2 = [− 13 009 542 − (− 2 435 411,74444)] / [42 788 313 000 − (8 403 395 000 + 9 655 386 000)]

Frozen rate 2 = − 0,000427591199686272 %

Total frozen rate = frozen rate 1 + frozen rate 2

Uniform rate (%) = maximum call rate − total frozen rate

Uniform rate:

0,75 % − 0,241729662870006 % = 0,508270337129995 %

This article is intended for revenue from the outstanding sugar storage levies as Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on
the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (OJ L 178, 30.6.2001, p. 1) abolished the storage levy. This article also covers the
amounts due under Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 65/82 of 13 January 1982 laying down detailed rules for carrying forward
sugar to the following marketing year when the obligation to store sugar carried forward is not complied with and the amounts due under
Council Regulation (EEC) No 1789/81 of 30 June 1981 laying down general rules concerning the system of minimum stocks in the sugar
sector.

Forecasts from 2003 onwards are net figures.

Conclusions of the Edinburgh European Council of 11 and 12 December 1992 concerning the creation of a reserve for emergency aid.

Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing Decision 94/728/EC, Euratom on the system of the Com-
munities’ own resources (OJ L 130, 31.5.2000, p. 1).

Council Regulation (EC) No 2040/2000 of 26 September 2000 on budgetary discipline (OJ L 244, 29.9.2000, p. 27).

Council Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom of 29 September 2000 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources
(OJ L 253, 7.10.2000, p. 42), and in particular Article 2(1)(d) and Article 6 thereof.

Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the

the agreement of the two arms of the budgetary authority on the need to use the reserve and on the amount required. The reserve is drawn
on by means of a transfer to the budget headings concerned.
