Rounded percentages.
(2)

The amount of enlargement-related expenditure corresponds to: (i) payments made to the 10 new Member States (which joined the EU on 1 May 2004) under 2003 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2004-2008, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2007-2008; 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. This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.
(3)

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.
(4)

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).

According to article 4(2) of Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom, during the period 2007-2013 the additional contribution of the United Kingdom resulting from the reduction of allocated expenditure by the expenditure related to enlargement as referred to in paragraph (1)(g) shall not exceed EUR 10,5 billion, measured in 2004 prices. The corresponding figures are set out in the table below.
