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 = 10 072 673 000 / (55 191 056 500 – 10 178 922 000) × 1/4 × 5 331 368 973 =
298 259 219

(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 = (5 331 368 973 – (298 259 219 + 79 528 563 + 34 786 421 + 42 441 980)) / (55 191 056 500 – (10 178 922 000
+ 10 072 673 000 + 2 685 802 000 + 1 174 791 000 + 1 433 331 000))

Frozen rate = 0,164488594287511 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0,164488594287511 % = 0,335511405712489 %

(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).

(1) Rounded percentages.
(2) The amount of pre-accession expenditure (PAE) is nil for the 2003 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

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).

Note:

The difference of – € 106 465 028 between the definitive amount of the 2003 UK correction (€ 5 285 094 010, as calculated above) and the
previously budgeted amount of the 2003 UK correction (€ 5 391 559 038, entered in the AB 8/2004) is financed in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2007.
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 AB 5/2007. This ‘indirect
effect’ corresponds to a payment of € 22 443 975 to the United Kingdom, so that the total amount entered in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2007 is a
payment of € 84 021 053 from the United Kingdom (= – € 106 465 028 + € 22 443 975).

— support for independent and non-profit-making non-governmental organisations (NGOs) which contribute to the devel-

opment and implementation of Community environmental policy and legislation,

— support for the Commission’s role in initiating environment policy development and implementation, through studies and
evaluations, seminars and workshops with experts and stakeholders, networks and computer systems, information, pub-
lication and dissemination activities, including events, exhibitions and similar awareness-raising measures.

The projects and measures financed by LIFE+ may be implemented through grants or procurement procedures and may consist
of:

— studies, surveys, modelling and scenario building,

— monitoring, including the monitoring of forests,

— capacity-building assistance,

— training, workshops and meetings, including the training of agents participating in forest fire prevention initiatives,

— networking and best practice platforms,

— information and communication actions, including awareness raising campaigns and, in particular, public awareness cam-

paigns on forest fires,

— support for operational activities of non-governmental organisations that are primarily active in protecting and enhancing
the environment at European level and involved in the development and implementation of Community policy and
legislation,

— developing and maintaining networks, databases and information and computer systems directly linked to the implemen-
tation of Community environmental policy and legislation, in particular when improving public access to environmental
information. The expenditure covered will include the costs of development, maintenance, operation and support (hard-
ware, software and services) of information and communication systems. It will also cover the cost of project manage-
ment, quality control, security, documentation and training linked to the implementation of these systems.

grammes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations pur-
suant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

In accordance with the Joint Statement adopted by the Budgetary Authority under the 2007 Budget, should a legislative gap
arise between the beginning of the year 2007 and the final adoption of the legal act, the three institutions agree that an amount
of up to EUR 15 million may be committed in the interim period for activities preparing the relay by Life+ under the best con-
ditions, i.e. with a view to preserving the acquis built-up through ongoing actions in the field of the environment. Such activi-
ties whose continuation is essential for preserving continuity of the acquis relate notably to information systems ensuring the
monitoring of EU environmental legislation, the registries underpinning the Emission Trading Scheme, scientific and external
expertise preparing Commission proposals in cases where the Commission is bound by target dates, information and awareness
actions.

New article

This article is intended to cover expenditure related to civil protection interventions in third countries under the Civil Protection
Financial Instrument and the Community Mechanism for civil protection:

— mobilisation of experts to assess assistance needs and facilitate European assistance in Member States or third countries in

case of disasters,

— transportation of European civil protection assistance — including the provision of relevant information on transportation

means — in the event of disaster as well as associated logistics.

Implementing partners may include authorities of the Member States or of beneficiary countries and their agencies, regional and
international organisations and their agencies, NGOs, public and private operators and individual organisations or operators
(including staff seconded from Member State administrations) with appropriate specialised expertise and experience.

To the appropriations entered in this item 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.

(1) An appropriation of EUR 10 000 000 is entered in Item 40 02 41 02.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover:

— damages and the cost of settling claims against the Commission (third-party liability) in connection with the institution’s

own staff and administrative processes,

— expenditure relating to certain cases where, for reasons of equity, compensation has to be paid without any legal claim

whatsoever arising therefrom.
