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).

— daily subsistence allowance for officials and temporary staff who furnish evidence that they must change their place of resi-

dence on taking up duty or transferring to a new place of employment,

— transitional costs for officials assigned to posts in the new Member States prior to accession who are requested to remain
in service in these Member States following the accession date, and who will be entitled, exceptionally, to the same finan-
cial and material conditions applied by the Commission before accession, in accordance with Annex X to the Staff Regu-
lations of officials and the Conditions of employment of other servants of the European Communities,

— the cost of any adjustments to remuneration approved by the Council during the financial year.

A general description of the officials’ salaries and other benefits is given on the ‘Working at the Commission’ page of the Euro-
pean Commission’s Directorate-General for Personnel and Administration website.

The Council regulation updating the salary scales of officials and other servants of all the EU institutions, including increments
and allowances, is published every year in the Official Journal (latest adjustment in OJ L 340, 22.12.2007, p. 1).

The new posts for 2008 are part of the overall increase of 3 960 new staff over a transitional period from 2003 to 2008 in line
with a Commission estimate made in 2002. That estimate covers enlargement-related needs for the accession of the 10 new
Member States in May 2004. The new posts for 2008 are also part of the overall increase of 850 new staff over a transitional
period from 2006 to 2009 for the enlargement to include Bulgaria and Romania.

The amount of assigned revenue pursuant to Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 39 600 000.

Before releasing the appropriation, the Commission should provide the information below:

— the commitment of the Commission to carry out a study on ABM implementation before 30 April 2008 with the follow-

ing information for the budgetary authority:

— how the different components of the SPP-ABM cycle (APS, CLWP, AMP) can be better integrated with each other,

— how the integration of the SPP-ABM cycle with other cycles (HR cycle, risk management, evaluation) can be improved,

possibly via an integrated IT system,

— communication of a list of clear predetermined performance indicators to be used throughout the cycle in order to improve

performance management,

— the commitment of the Commission to present a follow-up to its report on ‘Planning and optimising Commission human
resources to serve EU priorities’ by 30 April 2008 which will highlight in particular a detailed breakdown of staff per cat-
egory, and by directorate-general, and the changes projected for the coming years,

— a communication by the Commission on the current situation and state of play concerning implementation of Point 44 of

the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006.

Overall objectives

TITLE 03

COMPETITION

The Commission’s objective in this area is to enforce the competition rules under the Community Treaties in order to ensure that competition in
the European Union market is not distorted, thereby contributing to the welfare of consumers and the competitiveness of the European economy.
Introducing competition into markets creates conditions that promote knowledge and innovation, in turn contributing to the EU’s competitive-
ness and the creation of more and better jobs. Transparency and predictability, competition enforcement, guidance and advocacy contribute to
making Europe a more attractive place in which to invest and work.

The Directorate-General for Competition has defined three multi-annual general objectives that will allow it to continue making a significant con-
tribution to achieving the Commission’s strategic objectives as defined in the Community Lisbon Programme:

— to focus action on key sectors for the internal market and the Lisbon agenda,

— to focus enforcement actions on the most harmful anti-competitive practices for the European economy,

— to enhance competitiveness within the EU by helping to shape the regulatory framework.

The expected impact of these three general objectives is to contribute to increased competition in the common market, increased consumer wel-
fare and enhanced competitiveness of European industry.

Remarks

In order to ensure that the rules on competition concerning agreements, decisions of associations of undertakings and restric-
tive practices (Article 81 of the Treaty), abuses of a dominant position (Article 82 of the Treaty), aids granted by States
(Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty) and concentrations between undertakings (Regulation (EC) No 139/2004) are enforced, the
Commission is empowered to take decisions, to conduct investigations and to impose penalties or order recovery.

The Commission’s decisions are subject to review by the Court of Justice in accordance with the Treaty.

As a prudential measure, it is appropriate to take into account the possibility of budgetary implications stemming from rulings
of the Court of Justice or the Court of First Instance.

This appropriation is intended to cover any expenditure originated by damages awarded by the Court to claimants and resulting
from legal proceedings against the Commission’s decisions in the field of competition.

As a reasonable estimate of the financial impact on the EU budget cannot be established beforehand, a token entry (‘p.m.’)
appears in this article. If necessary, the Commission will propose to make available the appropriations related to actual needs by
means of transfers or through a preliminary draft amending budget.

Legal basis

Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty establishing the European Community and derived legislation, notably:

— Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 of 16 December 2002 on the implementation of the rules on competition laid down
in Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty (OJ L 1, 4.1.2003, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1419/2006 (OJ L 269,
28.9.2006, p. 1).

RESEARCH

Overall objectives

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.

COMMISSION

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.

Remarks

The actions carried out in the area of health are intended to improve the health of the European public and boost the competi-
tiveness of industries and companies linked to the health sector in Europe, while at the same time addressing world health prob-
lems, including new epidemics. The emphasis will be on translational research (transposing basic findings into clinical
applications), developing and validating new treatments, identifying ways of promoting health and preventing illness, diagnos-
tic tools and technologies for making diagnoses, as well as sustainable and effective healthcare systems. Special attention will be
given to communicating research findings and to the initiation of a dialogue with civil society, in particular patient groups, at
as early a stage as possible in new developments produced by biomedical and genetics research.

Funding may be given to clinical research on many diseases (e.g. cancer, cardiovascular diseases, auto-immunity and infectious
diseases, allergic diseases, epilepsy, trauma, rheumatic diseases, respiratory system diseases and mental and neurological dis-
eases, in particular those linked to ageing, such as osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, or to disabilities and
‘dys’ conditions).

Remarks

For the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) for the period 2007 to 2013, an integrated approach has been proposed which
links all transport modes (aeronautics, road, rail, waterborne), addresses the socio-economic and technological dimensions of
research and knowledge development, and encapsulates both innovation and the policy framework. It is in line with the White
Paper on transport and the updated versions of the strategic research agendas of the four technology platforms in the field of
transport. Based on technological advances, the general objective is to develop integrated, ‘greener’, ‘smarter’ and safer pan-
European transport systems for the benefit of the citizen and society, respecting the environment and natural resources; and
securing and further developing the competitiveness and the leading role attained by the European industries in the global
market.

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

INFORMATION SOCIETY AND MEDIA

Overall objectives

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.

Remarks

Former article 09 04 01

The objective of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) theme of the cooperation programme is to enable
Europe to master and shape the future developments of ICTs so that the demands of its society and economy are met.

Activities will strengthen Europe’s scientific and technology base in ICTs, help drive and stimulate innovation through ICT use
and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe’s citizens — particularly disabled persons and per-
sons suffering from ‘dys’ conditions (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysphasia, dyscalculia, etc.) — and businesses,
industry and
governments.

The ICT theme prioritises strategic research around key technology pillars, ensures end-to-end integration of technologies and
provides the knowledge and the means to develop a wide range of innovative ICT applications.

The activities will leverage industrial and technological advances in the ICT sector and improve the competitive edge of impor-
tant ICT-intensive sectors — both through innovative high-value ICT-based products and services and from improvements of
organisational processes in businesses and administrations alike. The theme will also support other policies of the European
Union by mobilising ICTs to meet public and societal demands.

Activities will cover collaboration and networking actions, support for joint technology initiatives and national programme
coordination initiatives. The work programmes will specify the funding schemes (collaborative projects, networks of excellence,
coordination and support actions, etc.) to be used for the topics on which proposals are invited, based on the different forms of
Community grants (reimbursement of eligible costs, lump sum financing, flat rates).

Also entered in this article are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and semi-
nars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of studies, grants, monitoring and evaluation of the specific
programmes and of the framework programmes, 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 mea-
sures under previous framework programmes.

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, as well as contributions from third countries associated with the seventh framework pro-
gramme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities.

The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of sci-
entific and technical research is envisaged for some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Item 6 0 1 3
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 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.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 09 04 02.

TITLE 11

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 the following operational activities: common organisation of the fisheries market, relations and agreements with third coun-
tries and international organisations, fisheries governance, fisheries research, structural measures for fisheries through the European Fisheries Fund
(EFF), conservation of fisheries resources, and control and enforcement. Finally, a new activity relates to maritime affairs, with a preparatory action
for launching implementation of the European maritime policy.

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

Remarks

Former Article 17 04 03

The outbreak of some animal diseases in the Community could possibly have a major impact on operation of the internal mar-
ket and on the Community’s commercial relations with third countries. Thus, it is important for the Community to make a finan-
cial contribution in order to allow the fastest eradication possible of any outbreak of a serious infectious disease in Member States
by deploying Community resources to fight these diseases.

Legal basis

Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (OJ L 224, 18.8.1990, p. 19), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1791/2006 (OJ L 363, 20.12.2006, p. 1).

Overall objectives

TITLE 18

AREA OF FREEDOM, SECURITY AND JUSTICE

— Establish an area of free movement in which persons can cross internal borders without being submitted to border checks, external borders

are controlled and illegal immigration is prevented,

— Establish an open and secure European Union, which offers protection to third country nationals in need, effectively manages legal immi-

gration, harmoniously integrates third country nationals legally resident in the Union and limits illegal immigration,

— Ensure a high level of protection and promotion of the rights of citizens and of fundamental rights across the EU, including the rights of the

child, contribute to upholding them in all areas of EU activity, and establish a high level of protection of personal data,

— Prevent and combat terrorism and crime, leading to a high level of safety for citizens,

— Establish an area of justice in which citizens have good access to justice and civil and criminal proceedings are conducted efficiently irre-

spective of differences between national legal systems,

— Enhance the EU’s capacity to prevent and limit the demand and the supply of drugs, reduce the social harm and damage to health caused by

the use of and trade in illicit drugs, and strengthen international cooperation,

TITLE 20

TRADE

This domain aims to contribute, in the general interest, to the harmonious development of world trade, the gradual removal of restrictions to
international trade and the reduction of customs barriers.

An important pillar of the European Union’s economic relations with the rest of the world, it contributes to the Union’s broader goals of pro-
moting sustainable development and assuming a larger role in multilateral governance. It covers all the main aspects of trade in goods and services
(tariff and non-tariff barriers, trade protection measures, in particular in cases of dumping and subsidies, export credits) and the important issues
of intellectual property, investment and competition.

DEVELOPMENT AND RELATIONS WITH AFRICAN, CARIBBEAN AND PACIFIC (ACP) STATES

TITLE 21

Overall objectives

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs),
particularly goal 1 to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to halve the proportion of people who suffer
from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.

— Translate the policy framework into the new programming cycle.

— Improve the effectiveness of EU aid among Member States and with international donors, develop the EC’s role as a centre of excellence for
EU thinking on development policies and strengthen the EU/EC’s impact on the international development debate and cooperation.

— Enhance policy coherence for development.

In accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41) (the DCI), for coun-
tries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the Commission will
continue to report annually on the benchmark, used in the past but now superseded, of 35 % of assistance to developing countries to be allocated
to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the EU contribution must be seen as a part of the overall donor support to the social sectors
and that a degree of flexibility must be the norm. Moreover, also in accordance with that Commission Declaration, the Commission will endeav-
our to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated, by 2009, to
basic and secondary education and basic health, through project, programme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across
all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved.

Before July each year, the Commission will provide to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report on the Community’s develop-
ment policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giving full details of development coop-
eration, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

— present the strategic objectives of the Union’s development policy and its contribution towards the previous 35 % benchmark for social infra-
structure and services and the current 20 % benchmark for basic and secondary education and for basic health, and assess the efficiency and
effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coherence of the Union’s strategy in its external
actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights, conflict prevention and the environment,

— present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achieving their objectives,

— summarise the key features and events of co-operation in each geographical region, and

— provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria.

Remarks

Community assistance shall not be given to any government or organisation or programme which supports or participates in the management of
a programme which involves human rights abuses such as coercive abortion or involuntary sterilisation or infanticide. This implements the spe-
cific Cairo ICPD prohibition on coercion or compulsion in sexual and reproductive health matters. The Commission shall present each year a
report on the implementation of the EU’s external assistance covering this programme.

ENLARGEMENT

Overall objectives

This policy area governs the actions, measures and initiatives necessary to ensure that candidate and potential candidate countries stay on course
to achieve the targets set with and for them by the European Council.

This will involve:

— full accession negotiations with Turkey and Croatia and further steps towards the opening of accession negotiations with the former Yugo-

slav Republic of Macedonia,

— the intensification of the Stabilisation and Association Process in the western Balkans, following the outcome of the talks on the status of

Kosovo; implementation of association agreements with all the countries in the region,

— the design and implementation of programmes funded under components I and II of the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance in all can-
didate and potential candidate countries in support of their reforms and preparations for future membership, plus coordination of all five
components of the instrument,

— the support to the reunification of Cyprus, with the implementation of the aid package to the Turkish Cypriot community,

— the promotion of a dialogue between civil societies in Member States and candidate and potential candidate countries as an integral part of

the pre-accession processes,

— an effective information and communication policy on enlargement both in candidate and potential candidate countries and in Member States,

— the implementation of transition facilities for Romania and Bulgaria.

The Commission will also continue to phase out the pre-accession programmes and transition facilities in all new Member States.

Overall objectives

TITLE 28

AUDIT

The aims of this policy area are to contribute to the efficient and effective performance of all Commission activities by providing independent,
effective and objective assurance and consultancy. This will include auditing the internal control systems that exist within the Commission in order
to assess their effectiveness and, more generally, the performance of Commission departments in implementing policies, programmes and actions
with a view to bringing about continuous improvement. It will also seek to help the Commission and its departments, by means of its opinions,
advice and recommendations with regard to the control of risks, the safeguarding of assets, compliance with rules, accurate and reliable account-
ing and management information, the quality of internal control and, finally, the efficiency and effectiveness of operations. These objectives build
on relevant international standards, i.e. the standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), and are carried out in accordance with the tasks
described in the Financial Regulation.
