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 = 10 407 889 000 / (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 % |

TITLE 03

COMPETITION

Overall objectives

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 competitiveness 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 contribution 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 welfare and enhanced competitiveness of European industry.

Remarks

In order to ensure that the rules on competition concerning agreements, decisions of associations of undertakings and restrictive 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.

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](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:391:TOC)) and Council Regulation (Euratom) No 1908/2006 of 19 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in action under the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2011) ([OJ L 400, 30.12.2006, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:400:TOC)).

For all appropriations under this title the same definition of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as is used for the horizontal 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 conducted 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 December 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) ([OJ L 412, 30.12.2006, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:412:TOC))), 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 Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation and role of women in science and research.

Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops 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 programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, whether covered by the Staff Regulations 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, including 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 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 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 competitiveness of industries and companies linked to the health sector in Europe, while at the same time addressing world health problems, 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, diagnostic 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 diseases, in particular those linked to ageing, such as osteoporosis and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, or to disabilities and ‘dys’ conditions).

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 constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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 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 constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

TITLE 09

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 communities 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 persons 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 important 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 seminars 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 measures 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 programme 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 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 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 Community. 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 countries 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 market and on the Community's commercial relations with third countries. Thus, it is important for the Community to make a financial 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

TITLE 20

TRADE

Overall objectives

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 promoting 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.

TITLE 21

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

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](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:378:TOC)) (the DCI), for countries 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 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 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 development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission's regulatory reporting requirements and giving 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 % benchmark 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 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 specific 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.
