Notes: The figures for the 2008 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 2006 and the contribution needed to finance the actual expenditures in 2006. These corrections will be made when the 2008
contributions are called up before 1 December 2007.
The GNI figures used for Bulgaria and Romania are those provided for by the EC Budget Dept. as published in the DG ECFIN Spring 2005 meeting. The source of
these figures differs from the 25 other Member States since at the time of drawing up the preliminary draft budget of the EC no updated GNI figures for Bulgaria and
Romania were present. Any deviation between the GNI figures used in the calculation shown above and the real 2006 GNI figures will be corrected when calling up
the 2010 Budget.
