AGREEMENT

between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway on the revision of the amount of the financial contribution from Norway provided for in the Agreement between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway on the participation of Norway in the work of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA)

THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY (hereinafter referred to as the Community),

of the one part,

AND THE KINGDOM OF NORWAY (hereinafter referred to as Norway),

of the other part,

RECALLING the Agreement between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway on the participation of Norway in the work of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), which was signed on 19 October 2000 and entered into force on 1 January 2001, and in particular Article 5 thereof which lays down Norway's financial contribution to the work of the EMCDDA;

CONSIDERING THAT Norway has requested the revision of its financial contribution to the work of the EMCDDA in view of the enlargement of the European Union;

HAVE DECIDED TO CONCLUDE THIS AGREEMENT:

Article 1

Article 5 of the Agreement between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway on the participation of Norway in the work of the EMCDDA shall be replaced by the following:

‘Article 5

Norway shall contribute financially to the activities of the Centre in accordance with the provisions laid down in the Annex to this Agreement, which shall form an integral part thereof.’.

Article 2

The Annex to this Agreement shall become the Annex to the Agreement between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway on the participation of Norway in the work of the EMCDDA.

The formula set out in the Annex shall apply to the calculation of Norway's financial contribution to the EMCDDA's budget as from the beginning of the year in which this Agreement enters into force.

Article 3

This Agreement shall enter into force on the first day of the second month following the date of receipt of the latter diplomatic note confirming that legal requirements of the respective Contracting Party concerning the entry into force of the Agreement have been fulfilled.

ANNEX

Norway's financial contribution

1.

 In order to take account of possible future enlargement of the European Union and to avoid further adjustments, the formula for the calculation of Norway's contribution will be as follows:

Amount of the Community subsidy excluding Reitox financing/(Number of Member States of the European Union + 1) – 10 %.

2.

 The financial contribution from Norway must not be less than EUR 271 000 (2004 prices) irrespective of the number of Member States of the Union. This amount corresponds to the cost of enlargement per country as estimated by the EMCDDA in 2001. That amount will be subject to a technical adjustment each year based on price trends and gross national income (GNI) in the European Union.
