               1.Introduction
            
            
               The purpose of Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 6 for the year 2018 is to update both the expenditure and the revenue sides of the budget to take account of the latest developments:
            
            
               –on the expenditure side, to release commitment and payment appropriations of budget lines for headings 1a "Competitiveness for growth and jobs" and 2 "Sustainable growth – natural resources";
            
            
               –on the revenue side, to revise the forecast of Traditional Own Resources (i.e. customs duties and sugar sector levies), value-added tax (VAT) and gross national income (GNI) bases, and to budget the relevant UK corrections and their financing, which all affect the distribution of own resources contributions from Member States to the EU budget.
            
            
               2.
                     Decrease of payment and commitment appropriations
            
            
               The Commission proposes to adjust the level of payment appropriations for certain budget lines in order to align them more closely to the latest estimates of needs and working on the assumption that the rebalancing of payment appropriations between budget lines requested separately by the Commission in the so-called "global transfer" (DEC 22/2018) will be accepted by the European Parliament and the Council. 
            
            
               The reduction in the level of commitment and payment appropriations requested in this DAB (EUR 48,7 million and EUR 44,7 million, respectively) only concerns headings 1a and 2.
            
            
               In the budget 2018, no margin remains available under heading 1a and the Global Margin for Commitments (GMC) is used for an amount of EUR 762,5 million. As a result of the reduction in commitment appropriations proposed in this DAB on this heading (see section 2.2 below), the amount of GMC used is reduced accordingly to reach EUR 760,6 million.
            
            
               2.1
                     Sustainable Fisheries Agreements
            
            
               On the basis of an updated analysis of the state of play of the negotiations for Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreements, EUR 46,6 million in commitment appropriations and EUR 43,3 million in payment appropriations may be released from the reserve line (budget article 40 02 41).

                     Decentralised agency – European Chemicals Agency (ECHA)
            
            
               The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki carries out two types of fee-financed activities, related to Chemicals legislation under heading 1a and Biocides legislation under heading 2. Fee income actually received for these two activities in the course of 2018 has evolved in opposite directions: while fee income is above forecast in heading 1a, linked to substantial fees received by the registration deadline of May 2018, there is a significant drop in the number of applications for Union authorisations of biocidal products. The resulting shortfall in fee income in heading 2 is partly met by cost savings related to biocides activities. Nonetheless, a reinforcement of the EU balancing contribution under heading 2 is necessary, for an amount of EUR 1,9 million in commitment and payment appropriations, which is proposed to be offset by a corresponding reduction of the EU balancing contribution to the agency under heading 1a.

               Following the 172nd meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources (ACOR) of 18 May 2018, two adjustments of the revenue side of the budget are required. The first of these adjustments is an update of the estimates for Traditional Own Resources (TOR), as well as of the Value Added Tax (VAT) and Gross National Income (GNI) resources, which are updated to take account of more recent economic forecasts. The second adjustment on the revenue side is an update of the UK correction. These two adjustments are presented in sections 3.2 and 3.3 below.
            
            
               
            
               The overall impact of both the expenditure and the revenue adjustments of this DAB is shown in the summary table below. This table also shows the distribution of total own resources payments between Member States: as budgeted in the 2018 budget, as adjusted in amending budget (AB) 4/2018
                  8
               , and finally in the present DAB.

                     Revision of the forecast of TOR, VAT and GNI bases
            
            
               According to established practice, the Commission proposes to revise the financing of the budget on the basis of more recent economic forecasts, agreed with the Member States at the ACOR meeting. 
            
         
         
            
               The revision concerns the forecast of Traditional Own Resources (TOR) to be paid to the budget in 2018, as well as the forecast of the 2018 VAT and GNI bases. The forecast in the 2018 Budget was established at the 169th ACOR meeting on 19 May 2017. The revision in the present DAB takes into account the agreed forecasts of the 172nd ACOR meeting held on 18 May 2018. The use of an updated forecast of own resources improves the accuracy of the revenue forecasts and hence of the payments that Member States are asked to make to the EU budget during the budgetary year.
            
            
               As compared to the forecast agreed in May 2017, the forecast for 2018 has been revised as follows:
            
            
               –Total 2018 net customs duties are now forecast at EUR 20 164,6 million (after deduction of 20 % in collection costs), which represents a decrease of 11,73 % relative to the forecast of EUR 22 844,0 million included in the Budget 2018. The Commission compared the results of the traditional ACOR forecasting methodology (based on the Spring 2018 macroeconomic forecast) with the results of the extrapolation based on the latest outturn data for collected customs duties (January – April 2018). Since the difference between the two methods was relatively significant, the traditional ACOR updated TOR forecast was fully adjusted to the extrapolation method forecast. However, taking also into account the cashed amounts after the ACOR meeting (May – August 2018), and based on the same extrapolation method, the Commission has now further updated its estimate for net customs duties in 2018.

               –The Court of Justice’s judgment case C-585/15 (the “Raffinerie Tirlemontoise” case), annulled Regulations (EC) No 2267/2000 and (EC) No 1993/2001. Council Regulation (EU) 2018/264 of 19 February 2018 establishes the revised production levies and the coefficient for calculating the additional levy in the sugar sector for the 1999/2000 marketing year, and the production levies in the sugar sector for the 2000/2001 marketing year.
            
            
               As a result, an estimated amount of EUR 93,0 million (net amount) will be reimbursed to the Member States concerning overpaid sugar levies. This reimbursement is expected to be made by year-end. Therefore, the Commission proposes to budget the reimbursement under Article 110 (production levies related to the marketing year 2005/2006 and previous years) of the revenue side of the budget.
            
            
               –The total 2018 EU uncapped VAT base is now forecast at EUR 6 695 538,5 million, which represents a decrease of -0,53 % compared to the May 2017 forecast of EUR 6 731 265,9 million. The total 2018 EU capped VAT base
                  9
                is forecast at EUR 6 676 686,2 million, which represents a decrease of -0,52% compared to the May 2017 forecast of EUR 6 711 411,1 million.
            
            
               –The total 2018 EU GNI base is forecast at EUR 15 871 050,2 million, which is an increase (+0,78 %) compared to the May 2017 forecast of EUR 15 747 670,0 million.
            
            
               The exchange rates of 29 December 2017 have been used for converting the forecast VAT and GNI bases in national currency into euro (for the nine Member States that are not members of the euro area). This avoids distortions since it is this rate that is used to convert budgeted own resources payments from euro into national currency when the amounts are called in (as stipulated in Article 10a(1) of Council Regulation No 609/2014).
            
            
               The revised forecasts of TOR, uncapped VAT bases and GNI bases for 2018, are set out in the following table:

                     Introduction
            
            
               The correction of budgetary imbalances in favour of the United Kingdom (UK correction), to be budgeted in the present DAB, concerns two years: 2014 and 2017.
            
            
               The 2014 and 2017 UK correction is subject to the rules of Council Decision 2014/335/EU, Euratom on the system of own resources
                  11
                of the European Union and its accompanying working document, the 2014 Calculation Method
                  12
               . Pursuant to the rules of this Decision, the net TOR "windfall gains" of the UK resulting from the increase since 2001 in the percentage of TOR retained by Member States as a compensation for their collection costs are neutralised and the allocated expenditure is adjusted by the total allocated expenditure in 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 the rural development expenditure originating from the EAGGF, Guarantee section. 
            
            
               Furthermore, the share of Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden in the financing of the UK correction is reduced to one fourth of their normal share for both, 2014 and 2017 corrections. The reduction is financed by the other Member States, excluding the UK.
            
            
               In the present DAB, the calculation and financing of the 1st update of the 2017 UK correction and the definitive amount of the 2014 UK correction are entered.
            
            
               The difference between the definitive amount of the 2014 UK correction and the amount previously budgeted (the 2nd update entered in AB 5/2016) is entered in chapter 35 (Result of the definitive calculation of the financing of the correction of budgetary imbalances for the United Kingdom) of the present DAB.
            
         
         
            
               The 1st update amount of the 2017 UK correction is entered in chapter 15 (Correction of budgetary imbalances) of the present DAB, replacing the previously budgeted provisional amount.
            
            
               3.3.2
                     Calculation of the corrections
            
            
               The update of the corrections for 2014 and 2017 stems mainly from the update of the VAT and GNI bases as communicated by Member States in autumn 2017. In addition the update of the correction for 2017 also takes into account the allocated expenditure of 2017. 
            
            
               3.3.2.1
                     2017 UK correction
            
            
               The following table summarises the changes between the provisional amount of the 2017 UK correction entered in Budget 2018 and the 1st update of the 2017 UK correction to be entered in the present DAB.

               The amount of the UK correction to be budgeted in chapter 35 of the present DAB is the difference between the definitive amount of the 2014 UK correction (i.e. EUR 5 267 228 258) and the 2nd update of the 2014 UK correction (i.e. EUR 5 165 663 075 entered in AB 5/2016) amounting to EUR 101 565 183.
            
            
               This amount is to be financed along the revised 2014 GNI bases as known at the end of 2017. The budgeting of this amount in chapter 35 is summarised below:
