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 2007.

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 Kingdom correction

Example: Germany

Germany’s theoretical VAT contribution = 9 919 942 000 / (53 473 109 000 – 9 693 423 000) × 1/4 × 5 251 202 631 =
297 464 591

(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 = 5 251 202 631 – (297 464 591 + 76 765 475 + 34 259 575 + 39 897 761)) / (53 473 109 000 – (9 693 423 000 +
9 919 942 000 + 2 559 999 000 + 1 142 499 000 + 1 330 523 000))

Frozen rate = 0,166609823430018 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0,166609823430018 % = 0,333390176569982 %

(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 1 May 2004) under 2003 appro-
priations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for 2004 and 2005. 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

resource.

(4) These windfall gains correspond to the net gains of the United Kingdom resulting from the increase — from 10 to 25 % as of 1 January 2001 — in the percentage of

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

Remarks

The aim of the actions carried out in this area is:

— to support a European Space Programme focusing on applications such as GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment
and Security) with benefits for citizens and for the competitiveness of the European space industry. This will contribute to
the development of a European space policy, complementing efforts by Member States and by other key players, including
the European Space Agency.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added 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. 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 con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this
section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

These remarks apply to all the budget headings in this title (with the exception of Chapter 08 22).

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 Decem-
ber 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in actions under the Seventh Framework
Programme and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 391, 30.12.2006, p. 1) and Council Regulation (Euratom)
No 1908/2006 of 19 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in action under
the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2011)
(OJ L 400, 30.12.2006, p. 1).

For all appropriations under this title the same definition of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as is used for the horizontal SME-specific
programmes within the same framework programme will be applicable. That definition reads as follows: ’An eligible SME is a legal entity that
complies with the SME definition set out in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC and is not a research centre, research institute, contract
research organisation or consultancy firm’. All research activities conducted pursuant to the seventh framework programme will be carried out in
compliance with fundamental ethical principles (in accordance with Article 6(1) of Decision No 1982/2006/EC of the European Parliament and
of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological
development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 412, 30.12.2006, p. 1)), including animal welfare requirements. This will include,
in particular, the principles laid down in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European
Union. Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation and role of women in science and research.

Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and semi-
nars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out
on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research
Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, whether covered by the Staff Regulations or not, infor-
mation, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal infrastructure linked with
the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and initiatives necessary for preparation
and monitoring of the Community’s RTD strategy.

The participation of third countries or organisations from third countries in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research
is possible in the case of some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1 6 of the statement of rev-
enue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from third parties sharing the cost of projects with the Community (firms in European Free Trade Association Member States, indus-
trial consortia, etc.) entered in Article 6 0 1 5 of the statement of revenue may give rise to additional appropriations being made available in accor-
dance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the state-
ment of revenue, may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from outside bodies for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of
revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 08 21 04.

In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by these appropriations, as laid down in the regulation,
more specific action is needed. Qualifying projects under the SME Specific Programmes should be made eligible for funding under the thematic
programme when they fulfil the necessary (thematic) requirements.

Remarks

New article

Increasing investment in research and development up to the 3 % objective and improving its effectiveness is a top priority of
the Lisbon strategy for growth and employment. Thus, the development of a coherent mix of policies to leverage public and
private research investments is a major concern for public authorities. Actions under this heading will support the development
of effective and coherent research policies at regional, national and Community level, through the provision of structured infor-
mation, indicators and analysis, and through actions aimed at the coordination of research policies, in particular the application
of the Open Method of Coordination to research policy.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
