The assignment of customs duties as own resources to the financing of common expenditure is the logical consequence of the free movement of goods within the Union. This article may comprise levies, premiums, additional or compensatory amounts, additional amounts or factors, Common Customs Tariff duties and other duties established or to be established by the institutions of the European Union in respect of trade with third countries and customs duties on products under the expired Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community.
Figures are net of collection costs.

Remarks

The GNI-based resource is an ‘additional’ resource, providing the revenue required to cover expenditure in excess of the amount yielded by traditional own resources, VAT-based payments and other revenue in any particular year. By implication, the GNI-based resource ensures that the general budget of the Union is always balanced ex ante.
The GNI call rate is determined by the additional revenue needed to finance the budgeted expenditure not covered by the other resources (VAT-based payments, traditional own resources and other revenue). Thus a call rate is applied to the GNI of each of the Member States.
The rate to be applied to the Member States’ gross national income for this financial year is 0,6514 %.

Legal basis

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled for programmes under the ESF convergence objective in the 2007-2013 programming period. That objective is aimed at speeding up the convergence of the least developed Member States and regions by improving conditions for growth and employment.
This appropriation aims to reduce the economic, social and territorial disparities which have arisen, particularly in countries and regions whose development is lagging behind, in connection with the speeding-up of economic and social restructuring and population ageing.
In accordance with Article 105a(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, as modified by point 7 of Annex III to the Treaty concerning the Accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union (OJ L 112, 24.4.2012), programmes and major projects which, on the date of accession of Croatia, have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 and the implementation of which has not been completed by that date, shall be considered to have been approved by the Commission under Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, with the exception of the programmes approved under the components referred to in points (a) and (e) of Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover ESF support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in less developed regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. The catching-up process for these economically and socially lagging regions requires long-term sustained efforts. This category of regions concerns those regions whose GDP per capita is less than 75 % of the average GDP of the EU-27.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover ESF support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in the 2014-2020 programming period in a new category of region (‘transition regions’) that replaces the 2007-2013 phasing-out and phasing-in system. This category of regions includes all regions with a GDP per capita is between 75 and 90 % of the average GDP of the EU-27.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover ESF support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in more developed regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. While interventions in the less developed regions will remain the priority for cohesion policy, this appropriation is thus intended to cover important challenges that concern all Member States such as global competition in the knowledge-based economy, the shift towards the low carbon economy and social polarisation exacerbated by the current economic climate.

Remarks

These budgetary remarks are applicable to all the budget lines in this chapter.
This appropriation will be used for Horizon 2020 — the framework programme for research and innovation, which covers the 2014-2020 period and brings together all existing Union research and innovation funding, including the framework programme for research, the innovation related activities of the competitiveness and innovation framework programme and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). The programme shall play a central role in the implementation of the Europe 2020 flagship initiative ‘Innovation Union’ and other flagship initiatives, notably ‘A digital agenda for Europe’
                        ‘Resource-efficient Europe’ and ‘An industrial policy for the globalisation era’, as well as in the development and functioning of the European Research Area (ERA). Horizon 2020 shall contribute to building an economy based on knowledge and innovation across the whole Union by leveraging sufficient additional research, development and innovation funding. The appropriation will be used also for the completion of the previous research programmes (Seventh Framework Programme and preceding framework programmes).
This appropriation will be used in accordance with the Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 laying down the rules for the participation and dissemination in ‘Horizon 2020 — the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020)’ and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 81).
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, must be added to the appropriations entered in this chapter. 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 constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.
Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidates for participating in Union 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 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

The proposed research is completely new in so far as it synchronously combines highly resolved acoustical (medium to far field) and optical (near field) imaging (low light, high frequencies) through a blending and calibration mechanism to translate the information from the near field into the far field and vice versa. This is to quantify fish abundance, biomass, and diversity in key areas as well as other MSFD indicators (through a further set of (environmental) instrumentation). Instead of snapshots (as generated like in regular surveys) ‘videos’ will be produced, where the assessment method will be following international (ICES) standards. The complete system is anticipated to work autonomously, continuously and non-invasively in an event based mode to save energy.
As a research platform an opto-acoustic lander hardware (underwater fish observatory, UFO) will be provided by the research institute at no cost for the project, for optimising the pattern recognition algorithms and related research.
The indicated amount covers inter alia the costs for biometrical measurements of fish, modelling of fish age-, length-, biomass-, volume-to-photo/video relationships, quantification of the reef effect through tagging experiments, calibration (integration) of biological results with those from acoustics and optics, optimisation of survey design from a biological perspective, migration and single fish separation (medium to far field fish tracing), event based control of the full instrumentation, distance estimation (near field stereo-metrics), fish separation (near field fish tracing) and calibration (integration) of optical results with those from acoustics and biology.

The complete system is anticipated to work autonomously, continuously and non-invasively in an event based mode to save energy (Is that fish or something else? If fish, then switch on the full instrumentation). The two underwater fish observatories of the test array will be trained to learn talking to each other and exchanging relevant information (for instance, related to the reef effect).
The indicated amount covers inter alia the costs for biometrical measurements of fish, modelling of fish age-, length, biomass-, volume-to-photo/video relationships, quantification of reef effect through tagging experiments, calibration (integration) of biological results with those from acoustics and optics, optimisation of survey design from a biological perspective, migration and single fish separation (medium to far field fish tracing), event based control of the full instrumentation, distance estimation (near field stereo-metrics), distance estimation (near field stereo-metrics), calibration (integration) of optical results with those from acoustics and biology, array hardware and technical sensor interfacing.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled for programmes under the ERDF objective of the convergence in the 2007-2013 programming period.

This appropriation is intended to cover ERDF support under the investment for growth and jobs goal in the 2014-2020 period in a new category of region — ‘transition regions’ — that replaces the 2007-2013 phasing-out and phasing-in system. This category of regions includes regions with a GDP per capita between 75 % and 90 % of the average GDP of the Union.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover ERDF support under the investment for growth and jobs goal in more developed regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. While interventions in the less developed regions will remain the priority for cohesion policy, this appropriation is thus intended to cover important challenges that concern all Member States such as global competition in the knowledge-based economy, the shift towards the low carbon economy and social polarisation exacerbated by the current economic climate. This category of regions includes regions with a GDP per capita above 90 % of the average GDP of the Union.

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of emergency support operations to respond to the urgent and exceptional needs in Member States as a result of a natural or man-made disaster, such as the sudden and massive influx of third-country nationals (refugees and migrants) into their territory.
This can be ensured in the form of a needs-based emergency response, complementing the response of the affected Member States, aimed at preserving life, preventing and alleviating human suffering and maintaining human dignity. Emergency response may encompass assistance, relief and, where need be, protection operations to save and preserve life in disasters or their immediate aftermath. This appropriation is also intended to cover the purchase and delivery of any product or equipment needed for the implementation of emergency support operations, including the building of homes or shelters for affected groups of people, short-term rehabilitation and reconstruction work, particularly of facilities storage, shipment, logistic support and distribution of relief and any other action aimed at facilitating freedom of access to the recipients of the aid.
This appropriation may be used to finance the purchase and delivery of food or any product or equipment needed for the implementation of the emergency support operations.
This appropriation may also cover any other costs directly linked to the implementation of emergency support operations and the cost of the measures that are essential for it within the requisite timescale and in a way which meets the needs of the recipients, satisfies the requirement to achieve the greatest possible degree of cost-effectiveness and provides greater transparency.
Any income from financial contributions from public and private donors entered in Item 6 0 2 1 of the Statement of Revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of the Union contribution to financial instruments established under the Connecting Europe Facility to enable or facilitate access to long-term financing or private investors’ resources and thus to accelerate or to make possible the financing of projects of common interest eligible under Regulation (EU) No 347/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2013 on guidelines for trans-European energy infrastructure and repealing Decision No 1364/2006/EC and amending Regulations (EC) No 713/2009, (EC) No 714/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 (OJ L 115, 25.4.2013, p. 39).

They are intended to be implemented under direct management mode by the entrusted entities, within the meaning of the Financial Regulation, or jointly with the entrusted entities.
Any repayment from financial instruments pursuant to Article 140(6) of the Financial Regulation, including capital repayments, guarantees released and repayment of the principal of loans, paid back to the Commission and entered in Item 6 3 4 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(3)(i) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

The emergency aid reserve (EAR) is intended to allow for a rapid response to 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, and situations of particular pressure resulting from migratory flows at the Union’s external borders where circumstances so require.
The annual amount of the reserve is fixed at EUR 280 000 000 (2011 prices) and may be used up to year n+1 in accordance with the Financial Regulation. The reserve shall be entered in the general budget of the Union as a provision. The portion of the annual amount stemming from the previous year shall be drawn on first. That portion of the annual amount from year n which is not used in year n+1 shall lapse.

(7)  The third subparagraph of Article 310(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union reads: ‘The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance’.

(8)  The base to be used does not exceed 50 % of GNI.

(9)  Calculation of rate: (95 713 512 497) / (146 929 283 000) = 0,651425709992745.

(18)  Note: The difference of EUR – 251 403 157 between the provisional amount of the 2014 UK correction (€ 4 795 562 054, as calculated above) and the previously budgeted amount of the 2014 UK correction (€ 4 544 158 897, entered in the AB 6/2015) is financed in chapter 36 of the AB 4/2016.

(19)  Rounded percentages.

(20)  The amount of enlargement-related expenditure corresponds to: (i) payments made to the 10 new Member States (which joined the EU on 01.05.2004) under 2003 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2004-2011, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2007-2011 (5a); and (ii) total allocated expenditure in those Member States, except for agricultural direct payments and market-related expenditure as well as that part of rural development expenditure originating from the EAGGF, Guarantee Section (5b). This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.

(21)  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.

(22)  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).

(23)  Note: The difference of € -132 837 911 between the definitive amount of the 2012 UK correction (€ 5 276 446 294, as calculated above) and the previously budgeted amount of the 2012 UK correction (€ 5 143 608 383, entered in the AB 6/2015) is financed in chapter 35 of the AB 4/2016.

(24)  p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); (133 645 177 297 + 2 965 818 187 = 136 610 995 484 = 136 610 995 484).

(25)  Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (133 645 177 297) / (14 692 928 300 000) = 0,91 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,23 %.
