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).

Action in relation to eco-innovation may include supporting the take-up of environmental technologies and eco-innovative
activities; co-investment in risk capital funds that provide equity also for companies investing in eco-innovation; fostering eco-
innovation networks and clusters, public-private partnerships in eco-innovation and developing innovative business services,
facilitating or promoting eco-innovation; promoting new and integrated approaches on eco-innovation in fields such as envi-
ronmental management and the environment-friendly design of products, processes and services, taking into account their
whole life cycle.

The Community will provide support to projects concerned with the first applications or market replication of innovative or
eco-innovative techniques, products or practices of Community relevance which have already been technically demonstrated
with success but, owing to residual risk, have not yet significantly penetrated the market. These will be designed to promote
their broader utilisation within the participating countries and facilitate their market uptake.

The implemented measures shall be, in particular:

— networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders,

— market replication, projects and other measures to support the take-up of innovation,

— policy analyses, development and coordination with participating countries,

— information sharing, dissemination and awareness raising,

— support to joint actions of Member States or regions,

and other measures encompassed in the Competitiveness and Innovation framework programme.

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.

Any revenue from the candidate countries’ contribution to participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of
the statement of revenue, may give rise to the opening of additional appropriations, pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial
Regulation.

Pilot project to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and very small enter-
prises (VSEs). The aim is to secure closer cooperation between Member States with a view to laying down principles for an
‘expanded mentoring’ scheme involving the transfer of the knowledge and core competences that are essential for the successful
transfer of business ownership. The pilot project will also seek to ensure that experience is pooled at European level among
young entrepreneurs (owners or managers of SMEs, VSEs and craft undertakings) by means of traineeships and training courses
within SMEs in key or complementary sectors. The relevant representative bodies (chambers of commerce and industry and craft
associations) will be responsible for supporting and promoting this programme. The beneficiaries will be young entrepreneurs
(owners or managers of SMEs, VSEs and craft undertakings) who are in the process of setting up in business or are planning to
transfer their business in the short to medium term.

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 sugar reform at the end of 2005. The key aim
of these reforms, 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 devel-
opment, in particular by promoting environmentally friendly production methods and the effective use of resources. Rural development, the sec-
ond 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.

2007 will be a year of consolidation following the CAP reforms, of implementation of the Council decisions on the rural development framework
2007 to 2013 and the new CAP financial regulation as well as of the enlargement to Romania and Bulgaria.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on implementation of a programme to promote alternatives to interna-
tional road haulage, designated ‘Marco Polo II’.

The programme Marco Polo II proposes five kinds of measures to achieve its objectives:

— modal transfer actions, to transfer, in the short term, an important share of road traffic to other less saturated transport

modes,

— catalyst actions, that enable structural market barriers to be overcome through the implementation of new innovative

services,

— common learning actions, with a view to improving cooperation, share of know-how and knowledge development in the

logistics industry,

— actions to provide high-quality logistic services based on short sea shipping, that will be comparable to motorways and

therefore called ‘motorways of the sea’,

— traffic avoidance actions, that will involve an active role for manufacturing industry and logistics systems within one coher-

ent strategy to develop sustainable operations.

CHAPTER 06 02 — INLAND, AIR AND MARITIME TRANSPORT (cont’d)

06 02 06 (cont’d)

The transport infrastructure networks of the newest Member States are not at the moment adequate to serve the increased post-
enlargement trade flows; in such cases intermodal transport solutions constitute the best response and thus there is huge scope
for Marco Polo II as a continuation and strengthening of the successful Marco Polo I programme.

The support for commercial action in the market for freight transport services is different from the support given through
research and development programmes and the trans-European network programme. Marco Polo II will foster modal shift
projects in all segments of the freight market, not only in combined transport.

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.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in
Item 6 0 3 1 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.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 1692/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 2006, establishing the second
Marco Polo programme for the granting of Community financial assistance to improve the environmental performance of the
freight transport system (Marco Polo II) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1382/2003 (OJ L 328, 24.11.2006, p. 1).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover financial support for measures and projects contributing to the implementation, updat-
ing and development of Community environmental policy and legislation, including the integration of the environment into
other policies, thereby contributing to sustainable development. In particular, LIFE+ shall support the implementation of the
‘Sixth Environmental Action Programme’, including the thematic strategies, and finance measures and projects with European
added value in three priority areas: nature and biodiversity, environment policy and governance, and information and
communication.

At least 78 % of appropriations shall be used for action grants to projects, of which at least 50 % for projects supporting the
conservation of nature and biodiversity. Projects to be supported shall be selected following a call for proposals. Projects sup-
ported shall be of Community interest, technically and financially coherent, and feasible and shall provide value for money.

The projects supported through action grants shall meet one of the following criteria to ensure European added value and avoid
financing recurring activities:

— best practice or demonstration projects for the implementation of Directive 79/409/EEC or Directive 92/43/EEC; or

— innovative or demonstration projects relating to Community environmental objectives, including the development or dis-

semination of best practice techniques, know-how or technologies; or

(1) An appropriation of EUR 767 000 is entered in Item 40 02 41 01.
(2) An appropriation of EUR 494 000 is entered in Item 40 02 41 01.

— awareness-raising campaigns and special training for staff involved in fire prevention operations, or

— projects for the development and implementation of Community objectives relating to the broad-based, harmonised, com-

prehensive and long-term monitoring of forests and environmental interactions.

Measures supported by the LIFE+ programme shall cover, inter alia:

— 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,

— demonstration of innovative policy approaches, technologies, methods and instruments,

— 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.

— specifically for the nature and biodiversity component: site and species management and site planning, including the
improvement of the ecological coherence of the Natura 2000 network, the monitoring of conservation status, including
— but not limited to — setting up procedures and structures for such monitoring, the development and implementation
of species and habitats conservation action plans, the extension of the Natura 2000 network in marine areas and, in lim-
ited cases, the purchase of land.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries or Western Balkan countries for participation in Community pro-
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.

Overall objectives

TITLE 08

RESEARCH

The Commission’s policy initiatives to achieve the European Research Area are devised, developed and followed up within this policy area.

European research contributes to attaining the objectives of the other Community policies and, in return, promotes the incorporation of research
policy needs in these policies.

Community actions required to achieve the European Research Area are devised and implemented within this policy area, in particular the research
and technological development framework programmes.

This domain contributes to implementing the Lisbon strategy for employment, international competitiveness, economic reform and social cohe-
sion in the European Union, in particular in connection with the establishment of an area of education, training, research and innovation.

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 December 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 par-
ticipation of undertakings, research centres and universities in action under the Seventh Framework Programme of the Euro-
pean 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 hori-
zontal 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 con-
ducted 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 Decem-
ber 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological develop-
ment 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 Funda-
mental Rights of the European Union. Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participa-
tion 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, work-
shops and seminars 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 pro-
grammes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, whether covered by the Staff Regu-
lations or not, information, 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, includ-
ing the action and initiatives necessary for preparation and monitoring of the Community’s RTD strategy.

COMMISSION

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 revenue 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, industrial consortia, etc.) entered in Article 6 0 1 5 of the statement of revenue may give rise to additional appro-
priations being made available in accordance 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 statement 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.

Overall objectives

TITLE 09

INFORMATION SOCIETY AND MEDIA

The main objectives of this policy area derive directly from the i2010 strategic initiative which is strongly focused on the main axes of the renewed
Lisbon strategy.

As far as the i2010 Electronic communications policy and network security activity is concerned, the important objectives are as follows: to con-
clude the review of the eCommunications regulatory framework, to promote an effective EU radio spectrum policy and to support the safe use of
the Internet, the prevention of information security problems and Internet governance.

In the context of the i2010 Content and services activity, the new Competitiveness and innovation programme aims at ensuring the best use and
wider uptake of ICTs by European citizens, businesses and governments and at boosting competitiveness and innovation. The objective of the
eContent plus programme is to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable. The preparatory action eDemocracy is
aimed at the creation of an Internet-based system for better legislation and for increased public participation involving parliaments.

As far as actions related to the research and development activities in the Information society and media policy area are concerned, information
and communication technologies (ICTs) will aim at stepping up the European research and innovation effort in ICT and improving its impact on
the competitiveness of all industrial sectors as well as on growth and jobs.

The development of e-infrastructures (Capacities research infrastructures) will provide persistent, cross discipline services to the research com-
munities based upon complex processes designed to bring the power of distributed ICT based resources to virtual communities

In relation to the i2010 Audiovisual policy and media programme activity, the objective is to support the adoption of the directive on audio-
visual media services and propose further measures to enhance the potential of Europe’s creative sector and content industries by creating syn-
ergies between ICTs and European media and audiovisual content.

New article

The ICT PSP is one for the three specific programmes of the Competitiveness and innovation framework programme (CIP).
It corresponds to a new legal instrument in the context of the 2007 to 2013 Financial Framework.

Actions will be reinforced at the EU level for stimulating a wider uptake of ICTs. Synergistic actions at EU level aim to reduce
uncertainties and risks of duplication by sharing and replicating experiences and lessons learned and foster the internal market
dimension of services triggered by ICTs promoting interoperability and fighting against fragmentation. They aim also to stimu-
late the regulatory and technological environments necessary to promote innovation and to overcome potential barriers (e.g.
cultural, linguistic, technical and legal).

COMMISSION

CHAPTER 09 03 — I2010 — CONTENT AND SERVICES (cont’d)

09 03 01 (cont’d)

The ICT Policy Support programme shall provide for the following actions:

(a) development of the single European information space and strengthening of the internal market for ICT products and

services,

(b)

stimulation of innovation through a wider adoption of and investment in ICTs,

(c) development of an inclusive information society and more efficient and effective services in areas of public interest, and

improvement of the quality of life.

This will be done in particular by supporting the development and use of digital content (1) and the development of ICT based
services in areas of public interest including in the areas of eHealth, eGovernment, eInclusion, education and learning and envi-
ronment. The ICT in the CIP will ensure also that European businesses and in particular SMEs can benefit from the new oppor-
tunities brought by the increasing demand for these ICT based services.

The main part of the support will go to a limited number of high-impact pilot projects per year. Accompanying measures, such
as best practice actions to spread knowledge and thematic networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders around specific
objectives, will be also launched. They will be complemented by the monitoring of the European information society, by mea-
sures providing the background knowledge that is needed for policy decision-making, and by actions for promoting and raising
awareness of the benefits brought by ICT to citizens, businesses (in particular SMEs) or public organisations.

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.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in the Community programmes, entered in
Item 6 0 3 1 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.

Any revenue from contributions from third parties entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue will give rise to the pro-
vision of additional appropriations to be entered in this Item, in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Legal basis

Decision No 1639/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 2006 establishing a Competitiveness
and Innovation Framework Programme (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 310, 9.11.2006, p. 15).

See also Item 09 01 04 03.

(1) During a transition phase for 2007 and 2008, this will be done under the eContentplus programme which will continue to have its own legal base.

FISHERIES AND MARITIME AFFAIRS

Overall objectives

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 and maritime affairs (including conservation of fisheries
resources, control and dialogue with the 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 European Fisheries Fund (EFF).

Sixty per cent of appropriations is devoted to the EFF. However, the EFF operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as a part of
shared management.

Remarks

Article 39 of 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 accordance with
Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, in specific instances where they are necessary to cover risks of cancellation or of reduc-
tions 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 the Financial Regulation.

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

Remarks

New article

This appropriation is intended to cover the operational programmes of the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) convergence objec-
tive for the programming period 2007 to 2013.

Particular importance will be attached to the economic diversification of regions affected by a reduction in fishing activity, to
the adjustment of fleet capacity and to fleet renewal, without involving an increase in fishing efforts, as well as to the sustainable
development of the fishing zones.

Actions financed under this article should take into account the need to maintain a stable and enduring balance between the
capacity of the fishing fleets and the resources available, and the need to promote a safety culture within fishing.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the financing of actions to improve fishing gear selectivity.

Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC) 1198/2006 of 27 July 2006 establishing a European Fisheries Fund (OJ L 223, 15.8.2006, p. 1).
