11 The amount of enlargement-related expenditure corresponds to total allocated expenditure in 13 Member States (that have acceded 
to the EU after 30 April 2004), except for agricultural direct payments and market-related expenditure as well as that part of 
rural development expenditure originating from the EAGGF, Guarantee Section.  

12 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. 

13 These  windfall  gains  correspond  to  the  net  gains  of  the  United  Kingdom  resulting  from  the  increase  —  from  10  to  20  %  as  of 
1 January 2014 — in the percentage of traditional own resources retained by Member States to cover the collection costs of 
traditional own resources (TOR).

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 0,5163 %.

The budgetary imbalance correction mechanism in favour of the United Kingdom (UK correction) was introduced by the European 
Council in Fontainebleau in June 1984 and the resulting own resources decision of 1985. The purpose of the mechanism is to reduce 
the UK budgetary imbalance through a reduction in its payments to the Union.

with Article 177 TFEU. 

Article 80 of the Financial Regulation provides for financial corrections in the event of expenditure incurred in breach of applicable 
law.

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. 

Promotion of equality between women and men horizontally and through specific actions should be part of the support provided by 
the ESF, in order to improve the employability of women and their participation in the labour market. Special attention should be paid 
to  non-discrimination  in  the  labour  market,  combating  the  feminisation  of  poverty,  access  to  education  and  affordable  childcare 
services.

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. 

Gender mainstreaming and gender equality specific actions should be part of the support provided by the ESF, in order to improve the 
employability  of  women  and  their  participation  in  the  labour  market.  Special  attention  should  be  paid  to  non-discrimination  in  the 
labour market, combating the feminisation of poverty, access to education and affordable childcare services.

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. This category of regions concerns those regions whose GDP per capita is above 90 % of the average GDP of the EU-27. 

Gender mainstreaming and gender equality specific actions should be part of the support provided by the ESF, in order to improve the 
employability  of  women  and  their  participation  in  the  labour  market.  Special  attention  should  be  paid  to  non-discrimination  in  the 
labour market, combating the feminisation of poverty, access to education and affordable childcare services.

Remarks 

Article 175 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides that the objectives of economic, social and territorial 
cohesion set out in Article 174 shall be supported by the action it takes through the Structural Funds, which includes the European 
Regional  Development  Fund  (ERDF).  In  accordance  with  Article  176,  the  ERDF  is  intended  to  help  redress  the  main  regional 
imbalances in the Union. The tasks, priority objectives and the organisation of the Structural Funds are defined in accordance  with 
Article 177. 

Article 80 of the Financial Regulation provides for financial corrections in the event of expenditure incurred in breach of applicable 
law. 

Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, Articles 100 and 102 of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 and Articles 85, 144 and 145 of 
Regulation  (EU)  No  1303/2013  on  criteria  for  financial  corrections  by  the  Commission  provide  for  specific  rules  on  financial 
corrections applicable to the ERDF. 

Any revenue from the financial corrections carried out on that basis is entered in Article 6 5 1, 6 5 2, 6 5 3 or 6 5 4 of the statement of 
revenue and constitutes assigned revenue in accordance with point (c) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation. 

Article 177 of the Financial  Regulation lays down the conditions for the repayment in full, or in part, of prefinancing payments in 
respect of a given operation.  

Article 82 of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 provides for specific rules on repayment of prefinancing applicable to the ERDF. 

Prefinancing amounts repaid shall constitute internal assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(4) of the Financial Regulation 
and shall be entered in Item 6 1 5 0 or 6 1 5 7. 

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

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.

Remarks 

This article is intended to record appropriations resulting from the mobilisation of the European Union Solidarity Fund in the event of 
major or regional disasters in the Member States. Assistance should be provided in connection with natural disasters to the Member 
States  concerned,  with  a  deadline  being  laid  down  for  use  of  the  financial  assistance  awarded  and  provision  being  made  for 
beneficiary  states  to  substantiate  the  use  made  of  the  assistance  they  receive.  Assistance  received  which  is  subsequently  offset  by 
third-party payments, under the ‘polluter pays’ principle, for example, or received in excess of the final valuation of damage should be

Remarks 

This appropriation is intended to cover the Agency’s staff, administrative and operational expenditure for the activities related to the 
implementation of the biocides legislation. 

The  Agency  must  inform  the  European  Parliament  and  the  Council  about  transfers  of  appropriations  between  operational  and 
administrative expenditure. 

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 item. 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 points (e), (f) and (g) of Article 21(2) 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. 

The establishment plan of the European Chemicals Agency is set out in Annex ‘Staff’ to this section. 

The Union contribution for 2017 amounts to a total of EUR 4 500 000. As the amount  of the assigned revenue related to the 2015 
budget outturn is EUR 3 050 000, a contribution of 1 450 000 EUR is entered in the budget. 

Legal basis 

Regulation  (EU)  No  334/2014  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  of  11  March  2014  amending  Regulation  (EU)  No 
528/2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products, with regard to certain conditions for access to 
the market (OJ L 103, 5.4.2014, p. 22).
