Remarks

These remarks apply to all the budget headings in the ‘Direct research’ policy area (with the exception of Chapter 10 05).

The appropriations cover not only expenditure on operations and staff covered by the Staff Regulations, but also other expenditure on staff, contracting, infrastructure, information and publications and any other administrative expenditure arising from research and technological development operations, including exploratory research.

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, any revenue entered in Items 6 2 2 4 and 6 2 2 5 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations.

Miscellaneous revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be used in Chapters 10 02, 10 03 or 10 04 or Article 10 01 05, depending on their purpose.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries 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 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of scientific 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 give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

The additional appropriations will be provided under Articles 10 02 02 and 10 03 02.

The appropriations in this title cover the cost of the staff working in the financial and administrative departments of the Joint Research Centre and of the support which they need (approximately 15 % of the cost).

Remarks

The main objectives of the programme are primarily:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the high flux reactor (HFR), in order to guarantee the availability of the neutron flux for experimental purposes, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to allow an efficient use of HFR by research institutes in a broad range of disciplines: improvement of the safety of existing nuclear reactors, health including the development of medical isotopes to answer the questions of medical research, nuclear fusion, fundamental research and training, and waste management including the possibility to study the safety behaviour of nuclear fuels for the new generation of reactor systems. |

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, this item will, in the course of the financial year, be provided with additional appropriations within the limits of the revenue from, notably, the three Member States concerned (currently the Netherlands, Belgium and France) to be entered in Item 6 2 2 1 of the statement of revenue.

Remarks

This article is intended to record appropriations resulting from the mobilisation of the European Union Solidarity Fund in the event of major disasters in the Member States. Assistance should be provided mainly in connection with natural disasters, but may also be provided, where warranted by the urgency of the situation, 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 recovered.

Allocation of the appropriations will be decided on in an amending budget with the sole purpose of mobilising the European Union Solidarity Fund.

Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002 of 11 November 2002 establishing the European Union Solidarity Fund ([OJ L 311, 14.11.2002, p. 3](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2002:311:TOC)).

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 European 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 0,7327 %.
