Notes: The figures for the 2007 contributions are merely indicative and will in accordance with Article 40(2) of the Financial Regulation be corrected for the difference
between the contribution paid for 2005 and the contribution needed to finance the actual expenditures in 2005. These corrections will be made when the 2007
contributions are called up before 1 December 2006.
The GNI figures used for Bulgaria are those provided by the EC Budget Dept. as published by the DG ECFIN during the ECOFIN Spring 2004 Meeting. Those for
Romania are published during the ECOFIN Autumn 2005 Meeting. In case Romania and Bulgaria do not adopt the Europol Convention on the 1st of January 2007
this will be dealt with as described in Annex 2 to File No 2210-162r3 (Annex to explanatory note to the 2005 budget which explains how to deal with contribu-
tions from acceding states).
Due to rounding off the totals might differ from the sum of the individual amounts.
