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 2006.

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 = 9 768 554 000 / (51 058 678 000 – 9 373 896 000 ) × 1/4 × 4 838 879 797 = 283 489 899

(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 = 4 838 879 797 – (283 489 899 + 72 011 957 + 31 891 153 + 36 976 995 )]/[51 058 678 000 – (9 373 896 000 + 9 768 554 000 + 2 481 403 000 + 1 098 912 000 + 1 274 161 000 )]

Frozen rate = 0,163127272501441 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % –0,163127272501441  % = 0,336872727498559 %

Note:

The difference of € 124 427 632 between the definitive amount of the 2002 UK correction (€ 5 613 145 449, as calculated above) and the previously budgeted amount of the 2002 UK correction (€ 5 488 717 817, entered in the AB 4/2003) is financed in chapter 35 of the AB 3/2006. This impact is the so-called 'direct effect' of the UK correction. A supplementary adjustment, to take into account the so-called 'indirect effect' of the UK correction on the uniform rate of call of the VAT-based own resource, is also financed in chapter 35 of the AB 3/2006. This 'indirect effect' corresponds to a decrease of € 9 998 501 for the United Kingdom, so that the total amount entered in chapter 35 of the AB 3/2006 for the United Kingdom is an increase of € 114 429 130.

Remarks

This article is intended for recording the income charged by new Member States in the event of non elimination of sugar stocks considered surplus within the meaning of Commission Regulation (EC) No 60/2004 of 14 January 2004.

It is also intended to record revenue from the outstanding sugar storage levies as Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (OJ L 178, 30.6.2001, p. 1) abolished the storage levy.

This article also covers outstanding amounts due pursuant to Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 65/82 of 13 January 1982 laying down detailed rules for carrying forward sugar to the following marketing year (OJ L 9, 14.1.1982, p. 14) when the obligation to store sugar carried forward is not complied with and the amounts due according to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1789/81 when the general rules concerning the system of minimum stocks in the sugar sector are not complied with.

Legal basis

Commission Regulation (EC) No 60/2004 of 14 January 2004 laying down transitional measures in the sugar sector by reason of the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (OJ L 9, 15.1.2004, p. 8).

Forecasts from 2003 onwards are net figures (without collection costs).

Remarks

This article is intended to record capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted from the appropriations in Chapters 22 03, 19 08 and 19 01 of the statement of expenditure of Section III ‘Commission’ to Mediterranean non-member countries.

The revenue obtained normally exceeds the amounts forecast in the budget because of the interest payments on special loans and risk capital which may still be disbursed during the preceding financial year as well as during the current financial year. The interest on special loans and risk capital is charged from the moment the loans are disbursed; interest on special loans is paid in six-monthly instalments, and interest on risk capital generally in annual instalments.

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections for which any revenue is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. This revenue may be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation in specific cases where they are required to cover the risk of corrections adopted earlier being cancelled or reduced.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lays down the conditions for the repayment of payments on account which does not have the effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operation concerned. Any revenue arising from the repayment of payments on account entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation is continued, in accordance with the decisions of the Berlin European Council, to provide EUR 500 million for the new period of validity of the programme. Additionality is to be fully observed. The Commission is to submit an annual report to the European Parliament on this measure.

Measures to combat fraud are funded under Article 24 02 01.

Legal basis

Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 158, 159 and 161 thereof.

Conclusions of the Berlin European Council of 24 and 25 March 1999.

Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds (OJ L 161, 26.6.1999, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1105/2003 (OJ L 158, 27.6.2003, p. 3).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover ESF Objective 1 measures for commitments relating to the programming period 2000 to 2006.

Pursuant to Article 3 of the EC Treaty, in defining and implementing other Community policies the Community is to aim to eliminate inequalities, and to promote equality, between men and women.

Structural Fund appropriations can therefore be used only if the measures which they finance accord with the provisions of the Treaties and with the legal acts adopted pursuant to the Treaties, particularly those concerning environmental protection and equality between men and women, the combating of all forms of discrimination, and the social inclusion of disadvantaged persons, including disabled persons.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 1262/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 June 1999 on the European Social Fund (OJ L 161, 26.6.1999, p. 48).

TITLE 05

AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Overall objectives

The objectives of the common agricultural policy (CAP) derive directly from the Treaty and are, in particular, to stabilise markets, ensure a fair standard of living in the farming community and guarantee security of supplies.

The CAP has been reformed a number of times since it was first introduced, most recently with the reform from June 2003/April 2004. The key aim of these reforms, as part of Agenda 2000, was to shift the slant of the farm economy towards the market in order to make the agricultural sector more competitive. Reflecting the multipurpose application of agricultural activity, the CAP must also be fully compatible with sustainable development, in particular by promoting environmentally friendly production methods and the effective use of resources. Rural development, the second pillar of the CAP, aims at enhancing the competitiveness of rural areas and preserving the environment and rural heritage in order to secure the future of rural areas and promote job maintenance and creation.

2006 will be a year of consolidation following the CAP reforms and the accession of 10 new Member States, of implementation of the expected Council decisions on the rural development framework 2007-2013 and the new CAP financial regulation as well as of preparation of the enlargement with Romania and Bulgaria.

TITLE 22

ENLARGEMENT

Overall objectives

This policy area governs the actions, measures and initiatives necessary to ensure that candidate and potential countries stay on course to achieve the targets set with and for them by the European Council.

This will involve:

bringing to a successful conclusion Bulgaria's and Romania's accession processes, monitoring their compliance with commitments taken upon closure of negotiations with a view to meeting the accession date of 2007,

managing the increased financial support granted to Bulgaria and Romania under the Phare programme aimed at helping them meet the structural, institutional, administrative and judicial requirements of EU membership,

implementing the three-pillar strategy adopted by the Council concerning the next stages of Turkey's accession process, including successfully conducting accession negotiations,

implementing the increase in pre-accession financial assistance for Turkey agreed by the Copenhagen European Council of December 2002,

successfully conducting accession negotiations with Croatia with the ultimate goal of membership,

following up on the Council decision on the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia's application for membership,

anchoring the other Western Balkan countries on the European track, notably supporting their reforms and preparations or future membership and furthering the stabilisation and association process.

supporting the reunification process of Cyprus, implementing and monitoring trade and financial support to that aim.

As far as the 10 new Member States are concerned, the Commission will still be phasing out major enlargement-related tasks and initiatives, and in particular managing the transition facility for institution-building in the new Member States.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover financial support for encouraging the economic development of the Turkish Cypriot Community. The assistance will focus particularly on the economic integration of the island and on improving contacts between the two communities and with the European Union in order to facilitate the reunification of Cyprus. The assistance may be used to support:

the promotion of social and economic development, in particular concerning rural development, human resources development and regional development,

the development and restructuring of infrastructure, in particular in the areas of energy and transport, the environment, telecommunications and water supply,

reconciliation, confidence building measures, and support to civil society,

bringing the Turkish Cypriot community closer to the Union, through, inter alia, information on the European Union's political and legal order, promotion of youth exchanges and scholarships,

progressive alignment with, and preparation for, implementation of the acquis communautaire.

Part of this appropriation is also intended to cover the support administrative expenditure necessary to the implementation of the programme such as:

expenditure on technical and administrative assistance which the Commission may delegate to an implementing agency governed by Community law,

expenditure on technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commission under ad hoc service contracts for the mutual benefit of the beneficiaries and the Commission,

expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme,

expenditure on temporary support staff (contract staff, auxiliaries, detached national experts, staff from employment agencies) at headquarters limited to EUR 3 000 000 on an annual basis corresponding to an estimated 28 man/years. This estimate is based on a provisional annual unit cost per man/year, of which 75 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff concerned and 25 % by the additional cost of training, meetings, missions, IT, telecommunications and eventual rent of premises on the ground.

Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC) No 389/2006 of 27 February 2006 establishing an instrument of financial support for encouraging the economic development of the Turkish Cypriot community and amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2667/2000 on the European Agency for Reconstruction (OJ L 65, 7.3.2006, p. 5).
