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 2005.

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 King-
dom correction

Example: Germany

Germany’s theoretical VAT contribution = 9 540 668 000 / (48 931 509 500 – 8 832 022 500) × 1/4 × 5 185 683 679 = 308 450 868

(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 = [5 185 683 679 – (308 450 868 + 74 601 411 + 33 818 429 + 39 910 586)] / [48 931 509 500 – (8 832 022 500 +
9 540 668 000 + 2 307 490 000 + 1 046 035 000 + 1 234 471 000)]

Frozen rate = 0,182085195550907 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0,182085195550907 % = 0,317914804449093 %

(1) Rounded percentages.
(2) The amount of pre-accession expenditure (PAE) corresponds to payments made to the 10 new Member States (which joined the EU on 01.05.2004) under 2003 appro-
priations. This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.
(3) The ‘UK advantage’ corresponds to the effects arising for the United Kingdom from the changeover to capped VAT and the introduction of the GNP/GNI-based own

resources.

(4) These windfall gains correspond to the net gains of the United Kingdom resulting from the increase — from 10 % to 25 % as of 01.01.2001 — in the percentage of

traditional own resources retained by Member States to cover the collection costs of traditional own resources (TOR).

(1) Rounded percentages.
(2) The amount of pre-accession expenditure (PAE) is nil for the 2001 UK correction.
(3) The ‘UK advantage’ corresponds to the effects arising for the United Kingdom from the changeover to capped VAT and the introduction of the GNP/GNI-based own

resources.

(4) These windfall gains correspond to the net gains of the United Kingdom resulting from the increase — from 10 % to 25 % as of 1.1.2001 — in the percentage of tra-

ditional own resources retained by Member States to cover the collection costs of traditional own resources (TOR).

Note: The difference of € 130 672 532 between the definitive amount of the 2001 UK correction (€ 4 896 335 040, as calculated above) and the
previously budgeted amount of the 2001 UK correction (€ 5 027 007 572, entered in the SAB 3/2002) is financed in chapter 3 5 of the PDAB
5/2005. 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 PDAB 5/2005. This
‘indirect effect’ corresponds to € 2 620 769 for the United Kingdom, so that the total amount entered in chapter 3 5 of the PDAB 5/2005 for the
United Kingdom is € 133 293 301.

CHAPTER 04 02 — EMPLOYMENT AND EUROPEAN SOCIAL FUND (cont’d)

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of provides for financial corrections for which any revenue is entered in
Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. This revenue may be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with
Article 18 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the
general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1) in specific cases where they are required to cover the
risk of corrections adopted earlier being cancelled or reduced.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lays down the conditions for the repayment of payments on account which does not have the
effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operation concerned. Any revenue arising from the repay-
ment of payments on account entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue will be used to provide additional appro-
priations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation is continued, in accordance with the abovementioned decisions of the Ber-
lin European Council, to provide EUR 500 million for the new period of validity of the programme. Additionality is to be fully
observed. The Commission is to submit an annual report to the European Parliament on this measure.

Measures to combat fraud are funded under Article 24 02 01.

eliminate inequalities, and to promote equality, between men and women.

Structural Fund appropriations can therefore be used only if the measures which they finance accord with the provisions of the
Treaties and with the legal acts adopted pursuant to the Treaties, particularly those concerning environmental protection and
equality between men and women.

Overall objectives

TITLE 05

AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT

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 agreement signed in June 2003 in Luxem-
bourg. The key aim of that reform, 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 devel-
opment, 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.

In 2005, the priorities for 2004 will be pursued, in particular as regards the implementation of the reforms adopted in 2003 and 2004, the opera-
tional application of the acquis in the new member countries and the World Trade Organisation (WTO) negotiations. These priorities are in addi-
tion to the regular activities of CAP.

Rural development in the EAGGF Guidance Section

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections, any revenue from which is entered in
Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. That revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, in accor-
dance with Article 18 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation appli-
cable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1), in specific instances where they are nec-
essary to cover risks of cancellation or of reductions in corrections previously decided upon.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 determines the conditions for repayment of an advance without having the effect of reducing
the contribution from the Structural Funds towards the assistance concerned. Any revenue from the repayment of advances,
which is entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue, will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accor-
dance with Articles 18 and 157 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation is continued, in accordance with the abovementioned decision of the Ber-
lin European Council to provide EUR 500 million for the new period of validity of the programme. Additionality is to be fully
observed as a condition for continuing this programme. The Commission is to submit an annual report to the European Par-
liament on this measure.

Measures to combat fraud are funded from Article 24 02 01.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover measures under the Leader+ Community initiative relating to rural development.

An indicative amount representing a maximum of 2 % of the budget allocation for this initiative will be reserved for financing
technical assistance. Where such technical assistance measures are carried out at the initiative of the Commission, up to 100 %
of their total cost can be financed.

This appropriation is also intended to finance a new project to speed up the process of strengthening civil society and entre-
preneurship, throughout rural Europe, by providing grants, loans and guarantees. A fund for increased investment in Social and
Private Initiatives in Rural Europe (SPIRE) will receive contributions from the EU, the Member States as well as private founda-
tions and enterprises. It will operate on a transnational basis, managed by experienced foundations, under the supervision of a
board representing all contributors, who will establish the main parameters of its work. The fund will be used to support the
creation of civil society organisations, at regional or local level throughout rural Europe, national or multinational networks
which aim to strengthen civil society in rural areas, programmes for capacity-building and support for individual entrepreneurs,
mutual guarantee groups, credit unions and other institutional forms of support for individual and collective entrepreneurship,
and the creation of regional investment funds to serve the risk-capital needs of rural enterprises in rural areas.

Overall objectives

TITLE 11

FISHERIES

This policy area includes all the activities covered by the common fisheries policy (CFP) which comes under the exclusive competence of the Com-
munity. It concerns all fisheries activities as well as the processing and marketing of these products.

It also ensures that the relevant provisions of Community law are rightly applied in the fisheries sector.

The policy area covers five operational activities: specific measures in support of the CFP (including conservation of fisheries resources, control
and dialogue with fisheries sector), relations and agreements with third countries and international organisations, common organisation of the
fisheries market, fisheries research and structural measures for fisheries through the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG).

Sixty percent of appropriations is devoted to the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG). However, the FIFG operations are mainly
implemented by the Member States as a part of decentralised management.

CHAPTER 11 06 — STRUCTURAL INTERVENTIONS FOR FISHERIES (cont’d)

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections, any revenue from which is entered in
Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. That revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, in accor-
dance with Article 18 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation appli-
cable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1), in specific instances where they are nec-
essary to cover risks of cancellation or of reductions in corrections previously decided upon.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 determines the conditions for repayment of an advance without having the effect of reducing
the contribution from the Structural Funds towards the assistance concerned. Any revenue from the repayment of advances,
which is entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue, will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accor-
dance with Articles 18 and 157 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation is continued, in accordance with the abovementioned decisions of the Ber-
lin European Council, to provide EUR 500 million for the new period of validity of the programme. Additionality is to be fully
observed. The Commission is to submit an annual report to the European Parliament on this measure.

Measures to combat fraud are funded under Article 24 02 01.

CHAPTER 13 03 — EUROPEAN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT FUND AND OTHER REGIONAL INTERVENTIONS (cont’d)

Remarks

Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections for which any revenue is entered in Item 6 5 0 0
of the statement of revenue. This revenue may be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of
Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget
of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1) in specific cases where they are required to cover the risk of correc-
tions adopted earlier being cancelled or reduced.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lays down the conditions for the repayment of payments on account which does not have the
effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operation concerned. Any revenue arising from the repay-
ment of payments on account entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue will be used to provide additional appro-
priations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation is continued, in accordance with the decisions of the Berlin European Coun-
cil to provide EUR 500 million for the new period of validity of the programme. Additionality is to be fully observed. The Com-
mission is to submit an annual report to the European Parliament on this measure.

Measures to combat fraud are funded from Article 24 02 01.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the Community contribution to measures to eliminate obstacles to the free movement
of goods in these sectors and to veterinary support and back-up measures.

One important measure is providing financial assistance for the work of the Community reference laboratories designated in
Community legislation. The work they do helps improve control over animal diseases and prevent them, reduce the risks as far
as possible and protect public health through improving conditions for surveillance of biological and chemical hazards.

This appropriation also covers expenditure on the monitoring of compliance with animal-protection provisions during the trans-
port of animals for slaughter.

Credits of this line can also be used for the establishment and the maintenance of a rapid alert system for the notification of a
direct or indirect risk to human health deriving from food or feed.

It is also intended to finance the development of marker vaccines or tests which can distinguish between sick and vaccinated
animals.

Technical and scientific measures necessary to develop Community veterinary legislation, for example the surveillance of Campy-
lobacter in broilers in Sweden, are also covered by this appropriation.

Legal basis

Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (OJ L 224, 18.8.1990, p. 19), as last
amended by Directive 2003/99/EC (OJ L 325, 12.12.2003, p. 31).

Article 50 of regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the

procedures relating to the food safety (OJ L 31, 1.2.2002, p. 1).

Remarks

The appearance of certain animal diseases in the Community could possibly have a major impact on operation of the internal
market and on the Community’s commercial relations with third countries. Against that backdrop, the Community should make
a financial contribution towards the eradication, as quickly as possible, of any outbreak of a serious infectious disease when
Member States deploy Community means to combat epizootic diseases.

Legal basis
