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 euro and the accounts shall be presented in euro.

—

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 126 551,10 million in commitment appropriations and EUR 115 497,22 million in payment appropriations, representing growth rates of 4,96 % and 7,56 % respectively by comparison with the 2006 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 115 497,22 million. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,3334 % whilst that for the GNI resource is 0,6769 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties, agricultural duties and sugar levies) account for 14,99 % of the financing of the budget for 2007. The VAT resource accounts for 15,44 % and the GNI resource for 68,53 %. Miscellaneous revenue for this financial year is estimated at EUR 1 209,27 million.

The own resources needed to finance the 2007 budget account for 0,98 % 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 2007 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 2007.

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)) x 1/4 x United Kingdom correction

Example: Germany

Germany's theoretical VAT contribution = 9 919 942 000 / (53 473 109 000 – 9 693 423 000 ) × 1/4 × 5 251 202 631 = 297 464 591

(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 = 5 251 202 631 – (297 464 591 + 76 765 475 + 34 259 575 + 39 897 761 ))/(53 473 109 000 – (9 693 423 000 + 9 919 942 000 + 2 559 999 000 + 1 142 499 000 + 1 330 523 000 ))

Frozen rate = 0,166609823430018 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0, 166 609 823 430 018 % = 0,333390176569982 %

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 2007	Financial year 2006	Financial year 2005
1 050 000	1 125 000	2 632 765,32

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.

They are drawn up in accordance with the principles set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.

After the closure of the accounts for each financial year, any discrepancy in relation to the estimates is entered in the budget for the following financial year through an amending budget.

A deficit is entered in Article 27 02 01 of the statement of expenditure of Section III ‘Commission’.

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 2005 will be used for research in 2007. 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 2007 comes to EUR 53 875 000.

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 Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under Chapter 08 22 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’.

Remarks

Former Article 2 6 0

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.

p.m.	p.m.	0,—

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure resulting from budgetary decisions taken in the course of the financial year (expenditure that cannot be estimated).

(1) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2006 budget (OJ L 78, 15.3.2006, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1 to No 6/2006.

(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 2006 budget (OJ L 78, 15.3.2006, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1 to No 6/2006.

(4) The own resources for the 2007 budget are determined on the basis of the budget forecasts adopted at the 136th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources on 19 May 2006.

(5) 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’.

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

(7) Calculation of rate: (79 152 835 808) / (116 942 340 000) = 0,676853531475426 %.

(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 and 2005. This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.

(10) 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.

(11) 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).

(12) p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); (114 287 945 060 + 1 209 273 561 = 115 497 218 621 = 115 497 218 621).

(13) Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (114 287 945 060) / (11 694 234 000 000) = 0,98 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,24 %.

(14) Of which 22 ad personam promotions (two AD 14 to AD 15, two AST 10 to AST 11, one AST 6 to AST 7, 17 AST 4 to AST 4/5) granted in exceptional cases to deserving officials having reached the end of their career brackets (at least 60 years of age and having been in the last step of the highest grade in their category for at least two years) and after long service (at least 25 years).

(15) Notional reserve for officials seconded in the interests of the service not included in the grand total.
