[12] The amount of enlargement-related expenditure corresponds to: (i) payments made to the 10 new Member States (which joined the EU on 1.5.2004) under 2003 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2004-2007, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for the year 2007; and (ii) total allocated expenditure in those Member States, except for agricultural direct payments and market-related expenditure as well as that part of rural development expenditure originating from the EAGGF, Guarantee Section. This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.

[13] 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.

[14] 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).

[17] 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).Note: The difference of ? 2102663 between the definitive amount of the 2005 UK correction (? 4840982460, as calculated above) and the previously budgeted amount of the 2005 UK correction (? 4838879797, entered in the AB 4/2006) is financed in chapter 3 5 of the AB 6/2009. 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 6/2009. This "indirect effect" corresponds to a payment of ? 22359031 from the United Kingdom, so that the total amount entered in chapter 3 5 of the AB 6/2009 is a payment of ? 20256368 from the United Kingdom (= – ? 2102663 + ? 22359031).

[18] p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); (113125765184 + 3155874310 = 116281639494 = 116281639494).

[19] Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (113125765184) / (11592709500000) = 0,98 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,24 %.
