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.

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’ GNI for this financial year is 0,7297 %.

Remarks

The action taken by the Union pursuant to Article 174 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union shall be designed to strengthen the economic and social cohesion of the enlarged Union in order to promote the harmonious, balanced and sustainable development of the Union. This action shall be taken with the aid of the cohesion policy funds, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and other existing financial instruments. It shall aim to reduce the economic, social and territorial disparities which have arisen, particularly in countries and regions whose development is lagging behind, in connection with the speeding-up of economic and social restructuring and population ageing.

The action taken under the cohesion policy funds shall incorporate, at national and regional level, the Union's priorities for sustainable development by strengthening growth, competitiveness, employment and social inclusion, as well as protecting and improving the quality of the environment.

The ‘Convergence’ objective shall be geared to speeding up the convergence of the least-developed Member States and regions by improving conditions for growth and employment through increasing and improving the quality of investment in physical and human capital, the development of innovation and of the knowledge society, adaptability to economic and social changes, protection and improvement of the environment, as well as administrative efficiency. This objective shall constitute the cohesion policy funds’ priority. The actions taken under the cohesion policy funds will respect equal opportunities for women and men.

Part of this appropriation is intended to support improvements in child care to enable children to live in a family-type setting. This support includes:

—	cooperation between and technical assistance to non-governmental organisations and local authorities, including assisting them in finding out which projects are eligible for Union funding,

—	identification and exchange of best practices as well as the broader application of these practices, including thorough monitoring at child level.

Part of this appropriation is intended for financing sustainable and environmentally friendly actions (Green New Deal) that provide for reconciling economic, social and environmental development requirements and for recovery of European regions after the economic and financial crisis.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used to address the problem of intra-regional disparities and provide specific assistance to people who live in disadvantaged territorial units that constitute pockets of poverty in European regions. This assistance should focus mainly on:

—	integrating communities living in pockets of poverty into the mainstream regional population via civic education, promoting tolerance and cultural understanding,

—	strengthening local authorities with regard to needs assessment, project planning and project implementation,

—	reducing intra-regional economic and social disparities via a temporary set of affirmative actions, focusing on employment and education.

Remarks

These remarks apply to all the budget headings in this title (with the exception of Chapter 08 22).

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in actions under the Seventh Framework Programme and for the dissemination of research results (2007-2013) (OJ L 391, 30.12.2006, p. 1) and Council Regulation (Euratom) No 1908/2006 of 19 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in action under the seventh framework programme of the European Atomic Energy Community and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2011) (OJ L 400, 30.12.2006, p. 1).

For all appropriations under this title the same definition of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as is used for the horizontal SME-specific programmes within the same framework programme shall apply. That definition reads as follows: ‘An eligible SME is a legal entity that complies with the SME definition set out in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC and is not a research centre, research institute, contract research organisation or consultancy firm’. All research activities conducted pursuant to the Seventh Framework Programme will be carried out in compliance with fundamental ethical principles (in accordance with Article 6(1) of Decision No 1982/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007-2013) (OJ L 412, 30.12.2006, p. 1)), including animal welfare requirements. This will include, in particular, the principles laid down in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation and role of women in science and research.

Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Union to investigate new areas of research suitable for Union action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, whether covered by the Staff Regulations or not, information, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal infrastructure linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and initiatives necessary for preparation and monitoring of the Union's strategy on research, technological development and demonstration (RTD).

Revenue resulting from cooperation agreements between the European Atomic Energy Community and Switzerland or the multilateral European Fusion Development Agreement (EFDA) will be entered in Items 6 0 1 1 and 6 0 1 2 of the statement of revenue and may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation.

The possibility of third countries or institutes from third countries taking part in European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research is envisaged for some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1 5 of the statement of revenue and may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation.

Revenue from States taking part in the European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research will be entered in Item 6 0 1 6 of the of the statement of revenue and may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution by outside bodies to Union activities will be entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue and may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 08 22 04.

In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by these appropriations, as laid down in Decision No 1982/2006/EC, more specific action is needed. Qualifying projects under the SME specific programmes should be made eligible for funding under the thematic programme when they fulfil the necessary (thematic) requirements.

Remarks

The actions carried out in the area of health are intended to improve the health of the European public and boost the competitiveness of industries and companies linked to the health sector in Europe, while at the same time addressing world health problems, including new epidemics. The emphasis will be on translational research (transposing basic findings into clinical applications), developing and validating new treatments, identifying ways of promoting health and preventing illness, diagnostic tools and technologies for making diagnoses, as well as sustainable and effective healthcare systems. Special attention will be given to communicating research findings and to the initiation of a dialogue with civil society, in particular patient groups, at as early a stage as possible in new developments produced by biomedical and genetics research.

Funding may be given to clinical research on many diseases, for instance HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, diabetes and other chronic diseases (e.g. arthritis, rheumatic diseases and musculo-skeletal diseases, as well as respiratory diseases), or rare diseases.

An increased share of funding should go to research on diseases related to ageing.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

The actions carried out in this area are intended to help establish the integrated scientific and technological bases needed to develop a European ‘knowledge-based bioeconomy’ by bringing together science, industry and other stakeholders. Three pillars support this approach: (1) sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest, and aquatic environments; (2) farm to fork: food, health and well being, and (3) life sciences and biotechnology for sustainable non-food products and processes. In this way new and emerging research opportunities can be exploited that address social and economic challenges, such as the growing demand for environmentally and animal friendly systems of production and distribution of safer, healthier and higher quality food in line with consumer requirements and control of food-related risks, relying in particular on biotechnology tools, as well as health risks associated with environmental changes.

This appropriation is also intended to fund the development and improvement of analysis methods (e.g. residue analysis in food and feedingstuffs).

Since, under current legislation, no specific funds are earmarked for fisheries research, at least the same percentage share will be maintained for fisheries research as under the previous budget. This appropriation is further intended to fund the development and improvement of the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) concept as a policy instrument for sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources and the development of a policy concept restricting discard of by catches.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

The actions carried out in this area are intended to help reach the critical mass of capacities needed to develop and exploit, in particular with a view to eco-efficiency and reducing the discharge of dangerous substances into the environment, state-of-the-art technologies which are the basis for products, services and manufacturing procedures in years to come, based mainly on knowledge and intelligence.

Sufficient appropriations must be provided for nano research in connection with environmental and health risk assessment, since only 5 to 10 % of global nano research is devoted to this today.

Sufficient budgetary appropriations must be provided for activities promoting research and the emergence of resource-efficiency processes and practices including eco-design, reusability, recyclability and research into substitution of hazardous or critical substances.

Expenditure on meetings, conferences, workshops and high-level scientific or technological seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of studies, grants, monitoring and assessment of specific programmes, funding the IMS secretariat, high-level scientific or technological assessments and evaluations, as well as actions carried out under the previous framework programmes will also be charged.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

Environmental research within the Seventh Framework Programme will be implemented through the ‘Environment (including climate change)’ theme. The objective is to promote sustainable management of the natural and human environment and its resources by advancing our knowledge of the interactions between the biosphere, ecosystems and human activities, and developing new technologies, tools and services, in order to address in an integrated way global environmental issues. Emphasis will be put on prediction of climate, ecological, earth and ocean systems changes and on tools and technologies, for monitoring, prevention and mitigation of environmental pressures and risks including on human health, and for the sustainability of the natural and man-made environment.

Research on this theme will contribute to the implementation of international commitments and initiatives such as Global Earth Observation (GEO). In addition, it will support the research needs arising from the existing and future Union legislation and policies, associated thematic strategies and the action plans on environmental technologies and on environment and health. Research will also contribute technological developments that will improve the market positioning of European enterprises, in particular of small and medium-sized enterprises, in areas such as environmental technologies.

The general objective of the international cooperation activities carried out under the ‘Capacities’ heading of the Seventh Framework Programme is to help create a strong and coherent science and technology policy of the Union by developing strategic partnerships with third countries and by addressing the specific problems of third countries as well as global ones. These activities will involve the following groups of third countries: the candidate countries, associated and industrialised countries, as well as international cooperation partner countries (Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, African, Caribbean and Pacific countries, Mediterranean partner countries and countries in the western Balkans).

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Part of this appropriation is intended to foster common approaches to key global challenges, such as an ICT strategy that not only competes with rapidly emerging ICT markets, e.g. in Asia, but also sets standards for global ICT policy-making in the interest of European values, by pooling resources and fostering the exchange of best practices for the advancement of research, development and innovation in the field of ICT. Measures will aim at improving the efficacy of actions by the international community and be complementary to existing mechanisms and successful working relationships. Part of this appropriation is also intended to foster common approaches to key global challenges, such as energy security and resource scarcity, by pooling resources and fostering the exchange of best practices for the advancement of research and development in the field of energy. The appropriations will be used to fund innovative ventures between European and third countries that are beyond the scope of a single country to undertake and beyond the scope of current tools available under existing legal instruments. In implementing this action the Commission will ensure a balanced distribution of subsidies. It will help actors at a global level to engage in research partnerships in order to foster innovation in the field of ICT, prepare the Union and its partners for a leading role in setting future ICT standards and foster innovation in the field of secure, clean and efficient energy.

Remarks

The objective of the risk-sharing finance facility (RSFF) is to foster private investment in research by improving access to debt financing for participants in European research infrastructures. RSFF will enable the European Investment Bank to expand, directly and indirectly (via its network of intermediary banks), its portfolio of loans to participants in such infrastructures.

RSFF will contribute to the implementation of the Europe 2020 Strategy, in particular to the achievement of the 3 % investment in research objective, by helping overcome market deficiencies, increasing the total amount of funds available for research and diversifying its sources.

In line with the outcome of the mid-term review of the RSFF, the Commission is encouraged to test new risk-sharing models with the EIB Group, based on a portfolio first-loss piece approach, facilitating access to debt financing for strategic Union research infrastructure

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

The objective of the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007-2013) and the ‘Information and Communication Technologies’ theme of the specific ‘Cooperation’ programme is to improve the competitiveness of European industry and to enable Europe to master and shape the future developments in ICTs in accordance with a long-term European ICT strategy so that the demands of its society and economy are met and European standards help shape the global ICT developments rather than being overtaken by other growing global markets.

Activities will strengthen Europe's scientific and technology base and ensure its global leadership in ICTs, help drive and stimulate innovation through ICT use and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe's citizens, businesses, industry and governments.

The ICT theme prioritises strategic research around key technology pillars, ensures end-to-end integration of technologies and provides the knowledge and the means to develop a wide range of innovative ICT applications.

The activities leverage industrial and technological advances in the ICT sector and improve the competitive edge of important ICT-intensive sectors — both through innovative high-value ICT-based products and services and from new or improved organisational processes in businesses and administrations alike. The ICT theme also supports other policies of the Union by mobilising ICTs to meet public and societal demands.

Activities cover collaboration and exchange of best practices with a view to setting common standards for the Union that are compatible with, or set, a global standard, networking actions and national programme coordination initiatives. This appropriation is also intended to cover the costs of independent experts assisting in proposal evaluations and project reviews, the costs of events, meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of studies, analyses and evaluations, the costs of monitoring and evaluation of the specific programmes and of the framework programmes and the costs of measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this item. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Part of these appropriations is intended to foster common approaches to key global challenges, such as an ICT strategy that is not only able to compete with rapidly emerging ICT markets (e.g. in Asia), but that can also set standards for global ICT policy-making in the interest of European values, by pooling resources and fostering the exchange of best practices for the advancement of research, development and innovation in the field of ICT. Measures will aim at improving the efficacy of actions by the international community and will be complementary to existing mechanisms and successful working relationships. The appropriations will be used to fund innovative ventures between European and third countries. The scope of such ventures will go beyond what could be undertaken by a single country and will benefit both the Union and its partners in preparing their leading role for setting future ICT standards. In implementing this action, the Commission will ensure a balanced distribution of subsidies. It will help actors at a global level to engage in research partnerships in order to foster innovation in the field of ICT.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the operational programmes of the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) convergence objective for the 2007-2013 programming period.

Particular importance will be attached to the economic diversification of regions affected by a reduction in fishing activity, to the adjustment of fleet capacity and to fleet renewal, without involving an increase in fishing efforts, as well as to the sustainable development of the fishing zones.

Actions financed under this article should take into account the need to maintain a stable and enduring balance between the capacity of the fishing fleets and the resources available, and the need to promote a safety culture within fishing.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the financing of actions to improve fishing gear selectivity.

Remarks

In accordance with the decision for an integrated programme in the field of lifelong learning, this appropriation is intended to cover the following specific programmes and horizontal actions:

—	Comenius: for general education activities concerning schools up to and including upper-secondary level,

—	Erasmus: for education and advanced training activities at higher education level, increase in the number of scholarships and funding for them under the Erasmus programmes,

—	Leonardo da Vinci: for all aspects of vocational education and training,

—	Grundtvig: for adult education,

—	Jean Monnet: projects stimulating teaching, research and debate on the European integration process at higher education institutions and operating grants to certain key institutions and associations,

—

a cross-cutting programme: incorporating four key activities to cover policy issues, to make specific provision for language learning and activity related to information and communication technologies where these fall outside the specific programmes, and to provide a better dissemination service.

Special education needs for persons suffering from disabilities or ‘dys’ conditions can be addressed in all the abovementioned sectoral programmes.

—

Brain trust: One part of the increase is intended to support Brain trust, an online knowledge-sharing tool for university students where each student can have a profile page displaying his or her ‘academic CV’, including study courses, publications, references used and keywords to indicate interests of the student. Brain trust platform will give students an overview of their studies and an opportunity to communicate and cooperate based on their academic interests across countries, universities, disciplines and levels of education, regardless of their current institutional affiliation and geographical location. The platform contributes to the strengthening of a pan-European identity and awareness among the young generation of European citizens. It will create an online European dimension to national systems of higher education, supporting the aims of developing the Community as a knowledge society, as set out in the Lifelong Learning Programme 2007-2013, and contributing to the creation of a European Area of Higher Education as part of the Bologna Process;

—

Early Science and Technology Education in Europe: One part of the increase is intended to support a project or action for the enhancement of Early Science and Technology Education in Europe. Vision: In the first formative period (age 3 to 6) all children make first experiences with basic science concepts in order to feed their intrinsic curiosity. The action is aimed at supporting Member States in the development of national strategies in the field of early science education;

—

European University Institute (EUI): One part of the increase is intended to cover, inter alia, supplementary expenditures relating to the activities of the EUI in accordance with Article 36(2)(b) of Decision No 1720/2006/EC establishing the Lifelong Learning Programme. A complementary contribution should be allocated to the EUI's Global Governance Programme. The Programme started in 2010 and is now consolidating and expanding its activities. The increase will further improve and widen the PhD training with respect to global governance and world affairs at the EUI; enlarge the European Academy of Global Governance devoted to top level training, discussion and debates; enhance the community of junior post-doctoral fellows specialised in these areas; attract to the EUI a significant number of senior scholars drawn from Member States’ universities and research centres and from international institutions; further increase the number of interrelated strands of basic and applied research on issues of global governance; promote and support a variety of events, conferences and High-Level Policy Seminars on issues of global governance; and further consolidate the European Network of Global Governance as well as the dissemination activities of the programme.

Part of this appropriation should be used for the promotion of the university education of students with a Roma ethnic background in order to provide them comprehensive support to address their unique challenges and to prevent their drop-out in tertiary education; the support should include scholarships, mentoring, tutoring and additional training in professional development and language competences.

A part of this appropriation should also fund Qualified Master Degree within eligible European universities, which shall be an important tool in the frame of the automatic recognition by all Member States and which must implement a common Master core curriculum. A European label of Qualified Master Degree will be delivered on the basis of the compliance with quality criteria of excellence. The initiative will foster academic recognition of Master degrees across the EU and will represent an important instrument in the goal of the realisation of an effective European Higher Education Area, as it’s been stressed by the recent Bologna Process Ministerial Conference of Bucharest in April 2012 and by the EP initiative report of March 2012. It will be implemented by universities of different Member States and will have, as a side outcome, the comparability of curricula, programs and learning outcomes of the corresponding bachelor degrees.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contribution from the Swiss Confederation for participating in Union programmes entered under Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

Europe needs to become more attractive to researchers, in order to increase its capacity and performance in research and technological development, while consolidating and further developing the European Research Area. Against the background of growing competition at world level, the development of an open and competitive European labour market for researchers with diverse, attractive career prospects is needed.

The added value of the support provided by the specific ‘People’ programme (implemented through the Marie Curie Actions, the Researchers’ Night and the EURAXESS action) is the promotion of the international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral mobility of researchers as a key driver for European Innovation. Marie Curie Actions also foster stronger cooperation between education, research and businesses from different countries in the training and career development of researchers to broaden their skills and prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow. The Marie Curie Actions reinforce a closer partnership between education and businesses in order to increase knowledge exchange and enhance PhD training adapted to the needs of industry. By promoting employment conditions in line with the European researchers’ charter and code, they contribute to making a research career in Europe more attractive.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article.

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).

Decision No 573/2007/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 May 2007 establishing the European Refugee Fund for the period 2008 to 2013 as part of the General programme ‘Solidarity and Management of Migration Flows’ (OJ L 144, 6.6.2007, p. 1).

Remarks

These remarks are applicable to all the budget lines in this chapter.

These appropriations will be used for the Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration activities, which covers the period 2007 to 2013.

This programme will be carried out in order to pursue the general objectives described in Article 179 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, in order to contribute to the creation of a society of knowledge, based on the European Research Area, i.e. supporting transnational cooperation at all levels throughout the Union, taking the dynamism, creativity and the excellence of European research to the limits of knowledge, strengthening human resources for research and for technology in Europe, quantitatively and qualitatively and research and innovation capacities in the whole of Europe and ensuring optimum use thereof.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, information, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal infrastructure for achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and measures necessary for the preparation and monitoring of the Union's strategy for research, technological development and demonstration activities.

The possibility of third countries or institutes from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research is envisaged for some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1 5 of the statement of revenue and may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from States taking part in the European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research entered in Item 6 0 1 6 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in Union programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to support the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) objectives and initiatives. These are primarily: wind, solar, bioenergy, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and electricity grids. In recognition of their important contribution to future sustainable energy systems, two thirds of the budgetary appropriations will be allocated to the renewable and end-use energy efficiency policy areas from 2012 onwards.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Legal basis

(1) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2013 budget (OJ L 66, 8.3.2013, p. 1) plus Amending budget No 1/2013.

(2) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2012 budget (OJ L 56, 29.2.2012, p. 1) plus Amending Budget No 1 to No 6/2012.

(3) The third subparagraph of Article 310(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union reads: ‘The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance’.

(4) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2013 budget (OJ L 66, 8.3.2013, p. 1) plus Amending budget No 1/2013.

(5) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2012 budget (OJ L 56, 29.2.2012, p. 1) plus Amending Budget No 1 to No 6/2012.

(6) The own resources for the 2013 budget are determined on the basis of the budget forecasts adopted at the 154th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources on 21 May 2012.

(7) The third subparagraph of Article 310(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union 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) The GNI and VAT bases of Croatia have been reduced by one half to limit its contribution since the Accession Treaty took effect on 1.07.2013.

(10) 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 %.

(11) The VAT base of Croatia has been reduced by one half to limit its contribution since the Accession Treaty took effect on 1.07.2013.

(12) The GNI base of Croatia has been reduced by one half to limit its contribution since the Accession Treaty took effect on 1.07.2013.

(13) Calculation of rate: (97 786 563 423) / (134 003 050 000) = 0,729733863691909.

(14) Rounded percentages.

(15) The amount of enlargement-related expenditure corresponds to: (i) payments made to the ten new Member States (which joined the Union on 1 May 2004) under 2003 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2004-2011, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the Union GDP deflator for years 2007-2011 (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.

(16) 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.

(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).

(18) p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); (131 628 020 848 + 1 582 967 007 = 133 210 987 855 = 133 210 987 855).

(19) Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (131 628 020 848) / (13 400 305 000 000) = 0,98 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,23 %.
