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 2008.

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 = 10 407 889 000 / (57 669 214 000 – 10 530 959 000) × 1/4 × 5 757 931 681 =
317 830 570

(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 = (5 757 931 681 – (317 830 570 + 85 611 179 + 37 261 421 + 45 504 460)) / (57 669 214 000 – (10 530 959 000 +
10 407 889 000 + 2 803 480 000 + 1 220 187 000 + 1 490 119 000))

Frozen rate = 0,168875772152444 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0,168875772152444 % = 0,331124227847556 %

(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, 2005 and 2006, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations. 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).

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.

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 main objectives are as follows: to promote
and monitor 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 i2010 ICT Take-up, the new competitiveness and innovation programme aims to ensure the best use and wider uptake of ICTs
by European citizens, businesses and governments and to boost 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 to step up the European research and innovation effort in ICT and improve 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 audiovisual
media services and propose further measures to enhance the potential of Europe’s creative sector and content industries by creating synergies
between ICTs and European media and audiovisual content.
