A. INTRODUCTION AND FINANCING OF THE GENERAL BUDGET

INTRODUCTION

The general budget of the European Union is the instrument which sets out and authorises the total amount of revenue and expenditure deemed necessary for the European Community and the European Atomic Energy Community for each year.

The budget is established and implemented in compliance with the principles of unity, budgetary accuracy, annuality, equilibrium, unit of account, universality, specification, sound financial management and transparency.

—	The principle of unity and the principle of budgetary accuracy mean that all Community revenue and expenditure and that of the European Union when it is charged to the budget must be incorporated in a single document.

—	The principle of annuality means that the budget is adopted for one budgetary year at a time and that both commitment and payment appropriations for the current budgetary year must, in principle, be used in the course of the year.

—	The principle of equilibrium means that forecasts of revenue for the budgetary year must be equal to payment appropriations for that year: borrowing to cover any budget deficit which may arise is not compatible with the own resources system and will not be authorised.

—	In accordance with the principle of unit of account, the budget is drawn up and implemented in euros and the accounts shall be presented in euros.

—

The principle of universality means that total revenue is to cover total payment appropriations with the exception of a limited number of revenue items which are assigned to particular items of expenditure. All revenue and expenditure is entered in full in the budget without any adjustment against each other.

—	The principle of specification means that each appropriation must have a given purpose and be assigned to a specific objective in order to prevent any confusion between appropriations.

—	The principle of sound financial management is defined by reference to the principles of economy, efficiency and effectiveness.

—	The budget is established in compliance with the principle of transparency, ensuring sound information on implementation of the budget and the accounts.

The budget presents appropriations and resources by purpose (activity-based budgeting), with a view to enhancing transparency in the management of the budget with reference to the objectives of sound financial management and in particular efficiency and effectiveness.

The expenditure authorised by the present budget totals EUR 129 149,66 million in commitment appropriations and EUR 120 346,76 million in payment appropriations, representing growth rates of 2,19 % and 5,71 % respectively by comparison with the 2007 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 120 346,76 million. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,3311 % whilst that for the GNI resource is 0,6440 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties, agricultural duties and sugar levies) account for 15,58 % of the financing of the budget for 2008. The VAT resource accounts for 15,87 % and the GNI resource for 67,37 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at EUR 1 425,00 million.

The own resources needed to finance the 2008 budget account for 0,94 % of the total GNI, thus falling below the ceiling of 1,24 % of GNI calculated using the method set out in Article 3(1) of Council Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom of 29 September 2000 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources (OJ L 253, 7.10.2000, p. 42).

The tables below set out step by step the method used to calculate the financing of the 2008 budget.

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 %

p.m.	–75 118 669	148 489 710,11

Under the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector, sugar producers pay basic and B production levies to cover market support expenditure.

However, the application of a ceiling to the levies as provided for in Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 may lead to their not fully covering the estimated total loss due to the existence of an exportable surplus calculated in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 of the said Article. The complementary levy referred to in Article 1 1 6 of this chapter will then have to be paid by sugar producers in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.

Financial year 2008	Financial year 2007	Financial year 2006
p.m.	– 704 860	1 773 614,95

Continuation of the existing production quota arrangements for sugar requires that similar arrangements be applied to the production of inulin syrup, a direct substitute for isoglucose and liquid sugar, to prevent this product from disturbing a market which, because of the surplus, could further increase the export costs of sugar and isoglucose producers alone.

The common organisation of the market in sugar provides that inulin syrup producers pay basic and B production levies and where necessary the additional levy covering market support expenditure.

Pursuant to Article 4 of Decision 2003/76/EC, net revenue from the investment of available assets will constitute revenue in the general budget of the European Union earmarked for a specific purpose, namely financing research projects in sectors related to the coal and steel industry by a coal and steel research fund.

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n+2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel Research Fund. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2006 will be used for research in 2008. In order to reduce as far as possible the fluctuations that movements in the financial markets could cause in the financing of research, a smoothing arrangement is applied. The amount of net revenue expected to be available for research in 2008 comes to EUR 53 438 000.

In accordance with Article 4 of Decision 2003/76/EC, 72,8 % of the fund’s appropriations will be for the steel-related sector and 27,2 % for the coal-related sector.

In accordance with Articles 18 and 160(1a) of the Financial Regulation, revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under Chapter 08 23 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’.

360 000	330 000	248 404,50

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to enable studies to be contracted out to qualified experts in the fields of audit and also in those of an administrative nature.

As part of its audit work, the Court of Auditors has to call on outside experts for technical studies and analyses (chemical, physical and statistical). The need for appropriations to cover the cost of studies contracted out to experts is justified by the specialised and sometimes unforeseeable nature of the studies in question. Without such appropriations, the Court of Auditors could be seriously hampered in performing its duties and its independence could be jeopardised. This appropriation also includes the cost of the audit of the Court of Auditors’ accounts by independent auditors whose report is published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(1)  The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2007 budget (OJ L 77, 16.3.2007, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1 to No 7/2007.

(2)  The third paragraph of Article 268 of the Treaty establishing the European Community reads: ‘The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance’.

(3)  The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2007 budget (OJ L 77, 16.3.2007, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1 to No 7/2007.

(8)  Rounded percentages.

(9)  The amount of pre-accession expenditure (PAE) corresponds to 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 2004, 2005 and 2006, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations.

(13)  Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (118 921 758 200) / (12 589 247 200 000) = 0,94 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,24 %.
