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 2008. |

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 = 10693785000 / (57958198000 – 9844979000) × 1/4 × 6534458982 = 363091999 |

(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 = (6534458982 – (363091999 + 97414408 + 42227593 + 49008050)) / (57958198000 – (9844979000 + 10693785000 + 2869049000 + 1243687000 + 1443385000)) |

Frozen rate = 0,187761923331507 % |

Uniform rate |

0,5 % – 0,187761923331507 % = 0,312238076668493 % |

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 1000.

[1] AB No 1 to No 8/2008 included.

[2] The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2007 budget (OJ L 77, 16.3.2007, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1 to No 7/2007.

[3] 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".

[4] AB No 1 to No 8/2008 included.

[5] The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2007 budget (OJ L 77, 16.3.2007, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1 to No 7/2007.

[6] The own resources for the 2008 budget are determined on the basis of the budget forecasts adopted at the 142th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources on 7 May 2008.

[7] 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".

[8] The base to be used does not exceed 50 % of GNI.

[9] Calculation of rate: (80226525056) / (125563242000) = 0,638933208303112 %.

[10] Rounded percentages.

[11] 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-25 GDP deflator for 2004, 2005 and 2006, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations. This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.

[12] 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.

[13] 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).

[14] Rounded percentages.

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 3 5 of the AB 5/2008. This "indirect effect" corresponds to an increase of ? 20611312 for the United Kingdom, so that the total amount entered in chapter 3 5 of the AB 5/2008 is a payment of ? 101903048 to the United Kingdom (= – ? 122514360 + ? 20611312).

[18] p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); (116859581330 + 3802985437 = 120662566767 = 120662566767).

[19] Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (116859581330) / (12556324200000) = 0,93 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,24 %.
