Remarks

The assignment of customs duties as own resources to the financing of common expenditure is the logical consequence of the free movement of goods within the Union. This article may comprise levies, premiums, additional or compensatory amounts, additional amounts or factors, Common Customs Tariff duties and other duties established or to be established by the institutions of the European Union in respect of trade with third countries and customs duties on products under the expired Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community.

Figures are net of collection costs.

Legal basis

Council Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom of 7 June 2007 on the system of the European Communities' own resources (OJ L 163, 23.6.2007, p. 17), and in particular Article 2(1)(a) thereof.

Remarks

The GNI-based resource is an ‘additional’ resource, providing the revenue required to cover expenditure in excess of the amount yielded by traditional own resources, VAT-based payments and other revenue in any particular year. By implication, the GNI-based resource ensures that the general budget of the European Union is always balanced ex ante.

The GNI call rate is determined by the additional revenue needed to finance the budgeted expenditure not covered by the other resources (VAT-based payments, traditional own resources and other revenue). Thus a call rate is applied to the GNI of each of the Member States.

The rate to be applied to the Member States' gross national income for this financial year is 0,6982 %.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance, as regards structural measures, projects and measures concerning the reception of refugees, displaced persons and asylum seekers which meet the conditions governing eligibility for Union financial aid.

It is intended to support Member States' efforts to integrate refugees and other persons granted supplementary support, and to allow displaced persons to lead a life for which they themselves are responsible, through measures taken chiefly in the following areas:

—	facilitating access to employment, including vocational training,

—	acquisition of knowledge of the language, society, culture and institutions of the host country,

—	facilitating access to housing and to the medical and social infrastructure of the host country,

—	support for persons in particular need of protection, such as women refugees, unaccompanied minors and torture victims, including victims of forced abortion, female genital mutilation or coerced sterilisation and rape victims,

—	integration into local structures and activities,

—	improvement in public awareness and understanding of refugees' situation,

—	analysis of the situation of refugees in the Union,

—	training on gender issues and child protection for officials, healthcare workers and police officers at reception centres,

—	separate accommodation for single women and girls.

Moreover, it is intended to support efforts of the voluntary burden sharing operations by Member States, such as the resettlement, reception and integration by Member States of refugees coming from third countries and recognised by UNHCR and transfers of applicants and beneficiaries of international protection from one Member State to another which grants them equivalent protection.

Part of this appropriation will be used for supporting the Member States in direct cooperation with United Nations humanitarian and other agencies which on a voluntary basis extend resettlement in a flexible manner in acute refugee situations. The focus will be on the most vulnerable groups and cases where other durable solutions are regarded as having been ruled out.

Particular attention should be given to when the appropriation can be used to demonstrate a significant and tangible act of solidarity at European level which can produce added value as part of a broader approach on delivery of humanitarian support to a country or region.

At the Commission's initiative, this appropriation is also intended to cover transnational actions or actions of interest to the Union as a whole (Union actions) concerning asylum policy and measures applicable to the target population of the Fund, in particular to offer adequate support to joint efforts by Member States to identify, share and promote best practices and establish effective cooperation structures in order to enhance the quality of decision making.

This appropriation is also intended to cover earlier commitments from ERF I and II, including those regarding voluntary repatriation.

It is also intended to finance a Union action to compile data for collaboration and exchange of best practices among childcare workers in closed detention centres for asylum seekers and immigrants.

A solidarity mechanism will be established to facilitate the voluntary reallocation of refugees and beneficiaries of international protection from Member States which are facing severe pressure from immigration flows to other Member States. The mechanism would be established at Union level and brought into operation on a trial basis so that it may eventually be continued under a Common European Asylum System. Member States would freely determine all aspects of the selection process on a voluntary basis. The Commission would set the framework, issue guidelines, encourage participation and facilitate management and coordination.

The mechanism should be established in line with the European Council Conclusions of 18 and 19 June 2009. The Conclusions note that, in view of the present humanitarian emergency, concrete measures need to be quickly put in place and implemented. The European Council called for the coordination of voluntary measures for internal reallocation of beneficiaries of international protection present in the Member States exposed to specific and disproportionate pressures and highly vulnerable persons and welcomed the intention of the Commission to take initiatives in this respect, starting with a pilot project.

Remarks

In the event of mass influxes of refugees or displaced persons, emergency measures in the following areas can be taken under this article:

—	reception and accommodation,

—	provision of subsistence funds,

—

medical, psychological and other assistance, aimed in particular at minors and including specialised assistance to women and girls who have fallen victim to harassment in any form or to criminal acts (rape, violence or specific forms of torture such as forced abortion, female genital mutilation or coerced sterilisation) or have suffered because of poor conditions as refugees,

—	necessary staffing and administrative costs in connection with reception and carrying out the measures,

—	expert missions and ancillary technical assistance for the identification of displaced persons,

—	logistical and transport costs.

Under this provision, emergency measures can also be taken to address situations of particular pressure, characterised by the sudden arrival at particular points on the borders of a large number of third-country nationals who may be in need of international protection, where this places exceptionally heavy and urgent demands on the reception facilities, the asylum system or the infrastructure of the Member State(s) concerned and may give rise to risks to human life, well-being or access to protection provided for under Union legislation.

The duration of such measures must not exceed six months. Besides the measures listed above, emergency measures may include legal aid and language assistance and the provision of translation and interpretation services, country of origin information or expertise and other measures contributing to the rapid identification of persons who may be in need of international protection and to the fair and efficient processing of asylum applications.

Legal basis

Council Directive 2001/55/EC of 20 July 2001 on minimum standards for giving temporary protection in the event of a mass influx of displaced persons and on measures promoting a balance of effort between Member States in receiving such persons and bearing the consequences thereof (OJ L 212, 7.8.2001, p. 12).

Remarks

Former Item 06 04 14 01

This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of gas and electricity infrastructure projects having the highest Union added value.

It should serve to adapt and develop energy networks of particular importance to the Union in support of the operation of the internal energy market and, in particular, to increase interconnection capacity, security and diversification of supply and to overcome environmental, technical and financial obstacles. Special Union support is necessary to develop energy networks more intensively and to accelerate their construction, notably where the diversity of routes and sources of supply is low.

This appropriation should also serve to promote connection and integration of renewable energy resources and to strengthen economic and social cohesion with less-favoured and island regions of the Union.

If the Commission's annual report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the implementation of the economic recovery plan identifies serious risks for implementing the priority projects, the Commission shall recommend measures to offset those risks, and shall where appropriate and consistent with the economic recovery plan, make additional proposals for the projects already referred to in Regulation (EC) No 663/2009.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 663/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 establishing a programme to aid economic recovery by granting Community financial assistance to projects in the field of energy (OJ L 200, 31.7.2009, p. 31).

(1) AB No 1/2011 to 4/2011 included.

(2) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2010 budget (OJ L 64, 12.3.2010, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1/2010 to No 8/2010.

(3) The third subparagraph of Article 310(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (former 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 1/2011 to 4/2011 included.

(5) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2010 budget (OJ L 64, 12.3.2010, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1/2010 to No 8/2010.

(6) The own resources for the 2011 budget are determined on the basis of the budget forecasts adopted at the 151st meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources on 17 May 2011.

(7) The third subparagraph of Article 310(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (former 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) For the period 2007-2013 only, the rate of call of the VAT resource for Austria shall be fixed at 0,225 %, for Germany at 0,15 % and for the Netherlands and Sweden at 0,10 %.

(10) Calculation of rate: (88 573 394 197) / (126 856 122 000) = 0,69821931177275.

(11) Rounded percentages.

(12) The amount of enlargement-related expenditure corresponds to: (i) payments made to the 10 new Member States (which joined the Union on 1 May 2004) under 2003 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2004-2009, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2007-2009 (5a); 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 (5b). 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).

(15) Rounded percentages.

(16) 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 2004-2006, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations (5a); 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 (5b). This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.

(17) 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.

(18) 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 EUR 43 008 777 between the definitive amount of the 2007 UK correction (€ 6 877 184 806, as calculated above) and the previously budgeted amount of the 2007 UK correction 1st update (EUR 6 920 193 583, entered in the AB 3/2009) is financed in chapter 3 5 of the AB 4/2011.

(19) Rounded percentages.

(20) 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.

(21) 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 € 188 645 417 between the definitive amount of the 2006 UK correction (€ 5 196 524 008, as calculated above) and the previously budgeted amount of the 2006 UK correction (€ 5 385 169 425, entered in the AB 4/2010) is financed in chapter 3 5 of the AB 4/2011. This impact is the so-called ‘direct effect’ of the UK correction. There is no indirect impact.

(22) p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); (120 566 371 247 + 5 960 762 515 = 126 527 133 762 = 126 527 133 762).

(23) Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (120 566 371 247) / (12 685 612 200 000) = 0,95 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,23 %.

(24) Protocol in the process of ratification.
