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 = 10 693 785 000 / (57 958 198 000 – 9 844 979 000) × 1/4 × 6 534 458 982 =
363 091 999

(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 = (6 534 458 982 – (363 091 999 + 97 414 408 + 42 227 593 + 49 008 050)) / (57 958 198 000 – (9 844 979 000 +
10 693 785 000 + 2 869 049 000 + 1 243 687 000 + 1 443 385 000))

Frozen rate = 0,187761923331507 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0,187761923331507 % = 0,312238076668493 %

(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-25 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).

Note: The difference of – € 122 514 360 between the definitive amount of the 2004 UK correction (€ 5 547 862 430, as calculated above) and the previously budgeted
amount of the 2004 UK correction (€ 5 425 348 070, entered in the AB 3/2006) is financed in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2008. 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 5/2008. This ’indirect effect’ corresponds to an increase of € 20 611 312 for the United Kingdom, so that the
total amount entered in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2008 is a payment of € 101 903 048 to the United Kingdom (= – € 122 514 360 + € 20 611 312).

Overall objectives

TITLE 01

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL AFFAIRS

Action in this policy area aims to ensure the smooth functioning of economic and monetary union (EMU) both inside and outside the European
Union, by advancing economic policy coordination, conducting economic surveillance and providing the Commission and other Community insti-
tutions with high-quality policy assessment and advice on economic and financial questions. This entails monitoring economic developments in
the Union and in third countries, cooperating with international organisations and following international financial issues. Operational activities
include the implementation of EU investment financing programmes on behalf of other Commission departments, in close cooperation with the
European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Investment Fund (EIF) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and
financial market operations (borrowing and lending, treasury management and management of the Guarantee Fund as well as macro-financial
assistance to third countries).

CHAPTER 04 02 — EUROPEAN SOCIAL FUND (cont’d)

Remarks

Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections for which any revenue is entered in Item 6 5 0 0
of the statement of revenue. This revenue may be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of
the Financial Regulation in specific cases where they are required to cover the risk of corrections adopted earlier being cancelled
or reduced.

Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 provides for financial corrections for the period 2007 to 2013.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lays down the conditions for the repayment of payments on account which does not have the
effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operation concerned. Any revenue arising from the repay-
ment of payments on account entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue will be used to provide additional appro-
priations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation as amended.

Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 lays down the conditions for reimbursement of pre-financing for the period 2007 to 2013.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation is being continued, in accordance with the decisions of the Berlin European
Council of 24 and 25 March 1999, to provide EUR 500 000 000 for the new period of validity of the programme. Addition-
ality is to be fully observed. The Commission is to submit an annual report to the European Parliament on this measure.

Overall objectives

TITLE 11

FISHERIES AND MARITIME AFFAIRS

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.

Proposed agreement withdrawn

The financial contribution resulting from old fisheries agreements generally includes a part whose use is left entirely to the dis-
cretion of the relevant governments and a contribution to measures designed to ensure sustainable management of the third
country’s fishery resources. For new partnership agreements a global envelope is allocated. The amounts for 2008 concerning
fisheries agreements in force can be broken down as follows (commitments): financial contribution EUR 4 769 000, support to
the fisheries policy and other targeted measures EUR 3 114 000, and global envelopes for recent partnership agreements
EUR 146 490 000. In the case of Mauritania, the current protocol in force (2006-2008) can be renewed by tacit renewal for an
additional period of two years. Should this not be the case, the corresponding amount for 2008 will be transferred to the reserve
line.

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections for which any revenue is entered in
Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. This revenue may be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with
Article 18 of the Financial Regulation in specific cases where they are required to cover the risk of corrections adopted earlier
being cancelled or reduced. Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 provides for financial corrections for the period 2007 to 2013.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lays down the conditions for the repayment of payments on account which does not have the
effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operation concerned. Any revenue arising from the repay-
ment of payments on account entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue will be used to provide additional appro-
priations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation. Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 lays down the
conditions for reimbursement of pre-financing for the period 2007 to 2013.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation will continue until 2010, in accordance with the conclusions of the Brus-
sels European Council of 15 and 16 December 2005.

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments made in previous years in the context of the preceding programme of
Community action in the field of public health.

The aim of this programme was to contribute to attaining a high level of health protection by directing action towards improv-
ing public health, preventing human illness and diseases, and obviating sources of danger to health.

Its three main priorities were:

— to improve information and knowledge for the development of public health and the strengthening and maintenance of
effective health interventions and efficient health systems, by developing and operating a well-structured and comprehen-
sive system for collecting, analysing, evaluating and imparting health information and knowledge to competent authori-
ties, health professionals and the public, and by undertaking assessments of and reporting on the health situation and
health-related policies, systems and measures,

— to enhance the ability to respond rapidly and in a coordinated way to threats to health by developing, strengthening and
assisting the operation and interlinking of surveillance, early warning and rapid reaction mechanisms covering health
hazards,

— to address health determinants through health promotion and disease-prevention measures, by supporting and developing
broad health-promotion activities and disease-prevention actions and specific risk-reduction and elimination instruments.

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.

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.

COMMISSION

CHAPTER 19 10 — RELATIONS WITH ASIA, CENTRAL ASIA AND MIDDLE EASTERN (DCI) COUNTRIES (cont’d)

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium devel-
opment 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.

In accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Par-
liament 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 countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients, by the OECD Devel-
opment 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 endeavour 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 sec-
ondary 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 Com-
munity’s development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giv-
ing full details of development cooperation, 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 % bench-
mark for social infrastructure 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 improv-
ing 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 achiev-

ing their objectives,

— summarise the key features and events of cooperation in each geographical region, and

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

19 10 01

Cooperation with developing countries in Asia

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover development schemes in Asian developing countries, in particular the poorest of them,
aimed at tackling macroeconomic and sectoral problems. Emphasis is placed on operations influencing economic organisation
and institutional development, the strengthening of civil society, including operations concerning democratisation, universal
access for children of both sexes and women to primary and secondary education, the environment, tropical forests, anti-drugs
campaigns, regional cooperation, disaster prevention and reconstruction measures, as well as the promotion of sustainable

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover development schemes in Asian developing countries, in particular the poorest of them,
aimed at at improving human and social development as well as tackling macroeconomic and sectoral problems. In accordance
with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 establishing a financing instrument
for development cooperation (DCI), the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assis-
tance 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.

Emphasis is placed on operations influencing economic organisation and institutional development, the strengthening of civil
society, including operations concerning democratisation, universal access for children of both sexes and women as well as chil-
dren with disabilities to primary and secondary education, the environment, and the sustainable management of natural
resources, including tropical forests, regional cooperation, disaster prevention and risk reduction, including climate-change-
related hazards, and reconstruction measures, as well as the promotion of sustainable energy, the fight against climate change
and information and communications technology.

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

The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to assist the new Member States in their efforts to strengthen their admin-
istrative capacity to implement Community legislation and to foster the exchange of best practice.

The transition facility for the 10 new Member States which joined the EU on 1 May 2004 ran from 2004 to 2006. Implemen-
tation will continue until at least 2009. Another transition facility for Bulgaria and Romania is provided for in the Act of Acces-
sion (2005), lasting one year following their accession to the EU. Implementation is expected to continue until 2010.

The transition facility is to continue institution-building activities according to the same principles as funded by Phare during
the pre-accession period. Therefore, the structures and methods established under Phare for programming and decision-making
will continue to apply for the transition facility, with some minor adjustments.

The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to provide assistance to new Member States in areas where their adminis-
trative and institutional capacity is still not able to deliver on a par with the other Member States. The transition facility should
provide the tools to enable them to react rapidly and precisely to weaknesses identified, primarily where safeguard clauses have
been, or risk being, invoked.

The assistance shall address the continued need for strengthening institutional capacity in certain areas through actions which
cannot be financed by the Structural Funds, in particular in the following areas:

— justice and home affairs (strengthening of the judicial system, external border controls, anti-corruption strategy, strength-

ening of law enforcement capacities),

— financial control,

— protection of the Communities’ financial interests and the fight against fraud,

— the internal market, including the customs union,

— the environment,

— veterinary services and administrative capacity-building related to food safety,

— the strengthening of public administration according to needs identified in the Commission’s comprehensive monitoring

report which are not covered by the Structural Funds.

The issues addressed by the transition facility have been identified in the comprehensive monitoring report. Priority should be
given to areas where safeguard clauses have been, or risk being, invoked to secure rapid remedial action.

Part of each allocation may be assigned to multi-beneficiary programmes, including audit and evaluation actions. The remain-
der is distributed between the new Member States.

Remarks

The appropriations in the title ‘Reserves’ are intended for two circumstances only: (a) where No basic act exists for the action
concerned when the budget is established; and (b) where there are serious grounds for doubting the adequacy of the appropria-
tions or the possibility of implementing, under conditions consistent with sound financial management, the appropriations
entered in the headings concerned. The appropriations entered in this item may be used only after transfer in accordance with
the procedure laid down in Article 24 of the Financial Regulation.

The breakdown is as follows (commitments, payments):

Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget
of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1525/2007 (OJ L 343,
27.12.2007, p. 9).

Remarks

The aim of this reserve, in accordance with Point 25 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary disci-
pline and sound financial management, is to allow a rapid response to the specific aid requirements of third countries following
events which could not be foreseen when the budget was established, first and foremost for humanitarian operations, but also
for civil crisis management and protection where circumstances so require. The annual amount of the Reserve is fixed at
EUR 221 000 000 for the duration of the financial framework, in constant prices. This amount has as an exception been raised
to EUR 479 218 000 for 2008 at current prices.

The Reserve is entered in the general budget of the European Union as a provision. The corresponding commitment appropria-
tions will be entered in the budget, if necessary, over and above the ceilings.

When the Commission considers that the Reserve needs to be called on, it will present to the two arms of the budgetary author-
ity a proposal for a transfer from the Reserve to the relevant budget lines.

At the same time as it presents its proposal for a transfer, the Commission will initiate a trialogue procedure, if necessary in a
simplified form, to secure agreement of the two arms of the budgetary authority on the need to use the Reserve and on the
amount required.
