This budget line is intended to finance the Risk Sharing Instruments from the ERDF Convergence envelope for Member States experiencing or threatened with serious difficulties with respect to their financial stability.

Reflows and amounts left-over after the completion of an operation covered by a risk sharing instrument may be reused within the risk sharing instrument if the MemberState still meets the conditions specified in Article 77(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006. If the MemberState no longer meets those conditions, reflows and amounts left-over shall be considered as assigned revenue.

Any assigned revenue resulting from repayment of reflows or amounts left-over entered in Item 6 1 4 4 of the statement of revenue will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation. At the request of the MemberState concerned, additional commitment appropriations generated by this assigned revenue shall be added the following year to the cohesion policy financial allocation of the MemberState concerned.

The assignment of customs duties as own resources to the financing of common expenditure is the logical consequence of the free movement of goods within the Union. This article may comprise levies, premiums, additional or compensatory amounts, additional amounts or factors, Common Customs Tariff duties and other duties established or to be established by the institutions of the European Union in respect of trade with third countries and customs duties on products under the expired Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community.

Figures are net of collection costs.

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 0,7275 %.

Remarks

The budgetary imbalance correction mechanism in favour of the United Kingdom (UK correction) was introduced by the European Council in Fontainebleau in June 1984 and the resulting own resources decision of 1985. The purpose of the mechanism is to reduce the UK budgetary imbalance through a reduction in its payments to the Union.

Legal basis

(1) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2012 budget (OJ L 56, 29.2.2012, p. 1) plus Amending Budget No 1 to No 4/2012.

(2) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2011 budget (OJ L 68, 15.3.2011, p. 1) plus Amending Budget No 1/2011 to Amending Budget No 7/2011.

(3) The third subparagraph of Article 310(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union reads: ‘The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance’.

(4) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2012 budget (OJ L 56, 29.2.2012, p. 1) plus Amending Budget No 1 to No 4/2012.

(5) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2011 budget (OJ L 68, 15.3.2011, p. 1) plus Amending Budget No 1/2011 to Amending Budget No 7/2011.

(6) The own resources for the 2012 budget are determined on the basis of the budget forecasts adopted at the 154th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources on 21 May 2012.

(7) The third subparagraph of Article 310(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union reads: ‘The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance’.

(8) The base to be used does not exceed 50 % of GNI.

(9) For the period 2007-2013 only, the rate of call of the VAT resource for Austria shall be fixed at 0,225 %, for Germany at 0,15 % and for the Netherlands and Sweden at 0,10 %.

(10) Calculation of rate: (93 694 857 496) / (128 782 447 000) = 0,727543696199529.

(11) Rounded percentages.

(12) The amount of enlargement-related expenditure corresponds to: (i) payments made to the ten new Member States (which joined the Union on 1 May 2004) under 2003 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2004-2010, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the Union GDP deflator for years 2007-2010 (5a); 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 (5b). This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.

(13) 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.

(14) 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).

(15) Rounded percentages.

(16) The amount of enlargement-related expenditure corresponds to: (i) payments made to the ten new Member States (which joined the Union on 1 May 2004) under 2003 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2004-2009, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the Union GDP deflator for years 2007-2009 (5a); 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 (5b). This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.

(17) 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.

(18) 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).

(19) Note: The difference of € 30 723 455 between the definitive amount of the 2008 UK correction (€ 5 223 574 449, as calculated above) and the previously budgeted amount of the 2008 UK correction (€ 5 254 297 904, entered in the AB 4/2010) is financed in chapter 3 5 of the AB 4/2012. This impact is the so-called 'direct effect’ of the UK correction.

(20) Rounded percentages.

(21) The amount of enlargement-related expenditure corresponds to: (i) payments made to the ten new Member States (which joined the Union on 1 May 2004) under 2003 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2004-2007, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the Union GDP deflator for the year 2007 (5a); 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 (5b). This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.

(22) 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.

(23) 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).

(24) p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); 126 015 355 796+ 3 072 687 152 = 129 088 042 948 = 129 088 042 948).

(25) Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (126 015 355 796) / (12 878 244 700 000) = 0,98 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,23 %.
