The revision concerns the forecast of TOR (customs duties, agricultural duties and sugar levies) to be paid to the budget in 2008 as well as the forecast of the 2008 VAT & GNI bases. The forecast in the Budget 2008 (and in the AB 1/2008, AB 2/2008, AB 3/2008 and AB 4/2008) was established at the 139th ACOR meeting on 16 May 2007. The revised forecast taken into account in the present PDAB 5/2008 was adopted at the 142nd ACOR meeting on 7 May 2008. The use of an updated forecast of own resources improves the accuracy of the payments that Member States are asked to make during the budgetary year and reduces the unavoidable forecasting errors from the previous year. As compared to the forecast agreed in May 2007, the forecast agreed in May 2008 has been revised as follows: - The total forecast of 2008 net agricultural duties was decreased by – 23.8 % to EUR 1 282.8 million (after deduction of 25 % in collection costs). The breakdown of this total forecast between Member States has been updated, using the latest information available on collected 2007 net agricultural duties. The revised total forecast was provided by DG AGRI. - The total forecast of 2008 net sugar levies was increased by + 11.8 % to EUR 707.8 million (after deduction of 25 % in collection costs). The revised total forecast and breakdown between Member States were provided by DG AGRI. - Total 2008 net customs duties are now forecast at EUR 16 545.7 million (after deduction of 25 % in collection costs), which represents an increase by + 0.7 % relative to the May 2007 forecast of EUR 16 431.9 million. The main reason for this increase is a higher forecast of the weighted average tariff (1.62 %, as compared to 1.54 % last year). The forecast was made on a Member State basis, using DG ECFIN forecast growth rates of extra EU imports as published in the spring 2008 economic forecasts on 28 April 2008. - The total 2008 EU uncapped VAT base is now forecast at EUR 6 023 302.5 million, which represents an increase of + 0.9 % as compared to the May 2007 forecast of EUR 5 968 617.1 million. The total 2008 EU capped VAT base[7] is forecast at EUR 5 795 819.8 million, which represents an increase of + 0.5 % as compared to the May 2007 forecast of EUR 5 766 921.4 million. - The total 2008 EU GNI base is forecast at EUR 12 556 324.2 million, which represents a decrease of - 0.3 % as compared to the May 2007 forecast of EUR 12 589 247.2 million. The exchange rates of 31 December 2007 have been used for converting the forecast VAT & GNI bases in national currency into euro (for the twelve Member States that are not members of the euro zone). This avoids distortions since it is this rate which is used to convert budgeted own resources payments from euro into national currency when the amounts are called in (as stipulated in Article 10(3) of Council Regulation No 1150/2000). The revised forecasts of TOR (customs duties, agricultural duties and sugar levies), uncapped VAT bases and GNI bases for 2008, as adopted at the 142nd ACOR meeting on 7 May 2008, are set out in the following table (rounded figures): Revised forecasts of TOR, VAT & GNI bases for 2008 (in million EUR) Agricultural duties (75%) | Sugar levies (75%) | Customs duties (75%) | Uncapped VAT bases | GNI bases | Capped VAT bases | BE | 15,5 | 42,6 | 1 821,1 | 147 738,0 | 346 246,9 | 147.738,00 | BG | 15,5 | 0,4 | 61,5 | 20 026,7 | 32 913,7 | 16.456,85 | CZ | 3,6 | 6,4 | 199,7 | 81 943,0 | 132 949,3 | 66.474,65 | DK | 31,6 | 21,5 | 318,4 | 101 055,2 | 240 167,9 | 101.055,20 | DE | 157,1 | 163,7 | 3 182,4 | 1 069 378,5 | 2 507 452,1 | 1.069.378,50 | EE | 0,9 | 8,6 | 25,4 | 9 609,7 | 16 113,8 | 8.056,90 | IE | 0,7 | 0,0 | 238,5 | 100 353,1 | 161 507,9 | 80.753,95 | EL | 7,6 | 1,5 | 246,6 | 126 016,5 | 237 245,5 | 118.622,75 | ES | 34,5 | 8,5 | 1 330,0 | 660 383,6 | 1 062 829,2 | 531.414,60 | FR | 103,4 | 229,6 | 1 263,3 | 950 125,5 | 1 956 373,4 | 950.125,50 | IT | 137,8 | 7,9 | 1 672,2 | 644 894,3 | 1 561 600,5 | 644.894,30 | CY | 3,8 | 3,8 | 38,2 | 14 388,8 | 16 220,8 | 8.110,40 | LV | 1,3 | 0,8 | 29,3 | 12 592,0 | 22 592,8 | 11.296,40 | LT | 2,8 | 5,3 | 46,2 | 15 408,7 | 30 959,1 | 15.408,70 | LU | 0,6 | 0,0 | 20,4 | 19 830,7 | 29 545,1 | 14.772,55 | HU | 4,6 | 6,3 | 115,9 | 44 630,0 | 97 445,9 | 44.630,00 | MT | 1,3 | 0,2 | 9,7 | 4 251,2 | 5 476,3 | 2.738,15 | NL | 227,7 | 38,6 | 1 742,6 | 286 904,9 | 580 990,0 | 286.904,90 | AT | 2,3 | 13,8 | 219,7 | 124 368,7 | 280 982,6 | 124.368,70 | PL | 37,7 | 71,2 | 371,1 | 184 560,3 | 336 162,6 | 168.081,30 | PT | 19,4 | 0,3 | 136,3 | 98 465,8 | 159 864,3 | 79.932,15 | RO | 32,1 | 1,1 | 182,2 | 54 358,5 | 126 589,2 | 54.358,50 | SI | 0,4 | 0,0 | 94,6 | 19 372,0 | 35 200,1 | 17.600,05 | SK | 1,2 | 5,4 | 102,1 | 24 049,2 | 58 000,1 | 24.049,20 | FI | 7,7 | 0,9 | 150,8 | 79 761,2 | 189 631,5 | 79.761,20 | SE | 20,5 | 12,8 | 439,8 | 144 338,5 | 343 391,1 | 144.338,50 | UK | 411,2 | 56,6 | 2 487,7 | 984 497,9 | 1 987 872,5 | 984.497,90 | EU | 1 282,8 | 707,8 | 16 545,7 | 6 023 302,5 | 12 556 324,2 | 5.795.819,80 | 2004 UK CORRECTION & 2007 UK CORRECTION THE CORRECTION OF BUDGETARY IMBALANCES IN FAVOUR OF THE U nited Kingdom (UK correction) to be budgeted in the present PDAB concerns two years: 2004 and 2007. As the UK correction of a certain year is to be financed in the following year, all 27 Member States participate in the financing of the 2007 UK correction. The financing of the 2004 UK correction does, however, only concern the 25 countries that were Member States in 2005. The 2004 UK correction and 2007 UK correction are all subject to the rules of Council Decision (EC) No 2000/597 and its accompanying working document, the 2000 Calculation Method [8]. Pursuant to the above rules, the net “windfall gains” of the UK resulting from the increase as from 2001 in the percentage of TOR retained by Member States as a compensation for their collection costs are neutralised in the calculation of the UK correction, as well as pre-accession expenditure (PAE) paid under appropriations for payments relating to the year preceding the enlargement. The same adjustment for PAE will be followed at the occasion of each future enlargement of the Union. Furthermore, the share of Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden in the financing of the UK correction is reduced to one fourth of their normal share. The reduction is financed by the other Member States, excluding the UK. These financing rules have an impact on the uniform rate of call of VAT, calculated as the difference between the maximum rate of call (0.50 % of the capped VAT base) and the frozen rate (whose calculation is based on the 2007 UK correction). The difference between the 2004 UK correction ( definitive amount ) and the amount previously budgeted (in 2006) as well as the result of the entire recalculation of the financing of the whole amount of the 2004 UK correction on the basis of the latest data for 2005 is entered under chapter 35 of the budget, without any impact on the uniform rate of call of VAT. The amount of the 1 st update of the 2007 UK correction is entered under chapter 15 of the PDAB 5/2008, as a replacement of the provisional amount of the 2007 UK correction entered under chapter 15 of the Budget 2008. Calculation of the corrections In the present PDAB, the calculation and financing of the 1 st update of the 2007 UK correction, as well as of the definitive amount of the 2004 UK correction are entered. As far as the 2005 and 2006 UK corrections are concerned, the Commission shall (according to the 2000 Calculation Method ) propose to budget an update if it differs significantly from the corresponding previously budgeted calculation. According to the Commission’s current calculations, the amount of the 2005 and 2006 UK corrections do not differ significantly from, respectively, the 1 st update of the 2005 UK correction entered in the AB 4/2006 and from the 1 st update of the 2006 UK correction entered in the AB 5/2007. Consequently, an update is not proposed for budgeting in the present PDAB 5/2008. 2007 UK correction The following table summarises the changes between the provisional amount of the 2007 UK correction entered in the budget 2008 and the 1 st update of the 2007 UK correction to be entered in the PDAB 5/2008. The 1 st update of the 2007 UK correction is EUR 776.5 million higher as compared to the provisional amount of the 2007 UK correction entered in the budget 2008. 2004 UK correction The table hereafter summarises the changes between the 2 nd update of the 2004 UK correction entered in the AB 4/2006 and the definitive amount of the 2004 UK correction to be entered in the PDAB 5/2008. 2004 UK correction | 2nd UPDATE AB 4/2006 | DEFINITIVE AB 5/2008 | Difference | (1) | UK share of uncapped VAT base | 18,6437% | 18,6421% | - 0,0015% | (2) | UK share of PAE-adjusted total allocated expenditure | 7,9665% | 7,9467% | - 0,0198% | (3) | = (1) - (2) | 10,6772% | 10,6954% | + 0,0183% | (4) | Total allocated expenditure | 92.157.248.765 | 92.456.248.291 | + 298.999.526 | (5) | Pre-accession expenditure (PAE) | 1.741.475.677 | 1.758.152.082 | + 16.676.405 | (6) | PAE-adjusted total allocated expenditure = (4) - (5) | 90.415.773.088 | 90.698.096.209 | + 282.323.121 | (7) | UK correction original amount = (3) x (6) x 0.66 | 6.371.527.835 | 6.402.357.774 | + 30.829.939 | (8) | UK advantage | 944.363.904 | 852.641.338 | - 91.722.567 | (9) | Core UK correction = (7) - (8) | 5.427.163.931 | 5.549.716.436 | + 122.552.505 | (10) | TOR windfall gains | 1.815.861 | 1.854.006 | + 38.145 | (11) | UK correction = (9) - (10) | 5.425.348.070 | 5.547.862.430 | + 122.514.360 | The definitive amount of the 2004 UK correction is EUR 122.5 million higher as compared to the 2 nd update of the 2004 UK correction entered in the AB 4/2006. The difference is due to the combined effect of five factors, which can be quantified as follows: - The decrease in the UK share of uncapped VAT base decreases the 2004 UK correction by around EUR 0.9 million. - The decrease in the UK share of PAE-adjusted total allocated expenditure increases the 2004 UK correction by around EUR 11.8 million. - The increase in PAE-adjusted total allocated expenditure increases the 2004 UK correction by around EUR 19.9 million. - The decrease in the so-called “UK advantage” increases the 2004 UK correction by EUR 91.7 million. - The increase in the so-called “TOR windfall gains” decreases the 2004 UK correction by EUR 0.04 million. Entry in the PDAB 5/2008 of the 1 st update of the 2007 UK correction and of the definitive amount of the 2004 UK correction 2007 UK correction (chapter 15) The amount of the UK correction to be budgeted in chapter 15 of the present PDAB 5/2008 is the amount of the 1 st update of the 2007 UK correction (i.e. EUR 6 534 458 982, replacing the EUR 5 757 931 681 entered in the budget 2008). This amount is to be financed along the revised 2008 GNI bases of the present PDAB 5/2008.
