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 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 0,7383 %.

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)(c) thereof.

Remarks

This article is intended to record appropriations resulting from the mobilisation of the European Union Solidarity Fund in the event of major disasters in the Member States. Assistance should be provided mainly in connection with natural disasters, but may also be provided, where warranted by the urgency of the situation, to the Member States concerned, with a deadline being laid down for use of the financial assistance awarded and provision being made for beneficiary states to substantiate the use made of the assistance they receive. Assistance received which is subsequently offset by third-party payments, under the ‘polluter pays’ principle, for example, or received in excess of the final valuation of damage should be recovered.

With the exception of the advance payment, the allocation of the appropriations will be decided on in an amending budget with the sole purpose of mobilising the European Union Solidarity Fund.

Legal basis

Regulation (EU) No 661/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002 establishing the European Union Solidarity Fund (OJ L 189, 27.6.2014, p. 143).

Reference acts

Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (OJ C 139, 14.6.2006, p. 1).


(1)  The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2015 budget (OJ L 69, 13.3.2015) plus Draft Amending budgets No 1 to 4/2015.

(2)  The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2014 budget (OJ L 51, 20.2.2014, p. 1) plus amending budgets No 1/2014 to No 7/2014.

(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 2015 budget (OJ L 69, 13.3.2015) plus Draft Amending budgets No 1 to 4/2015.

(5)  The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2014 budget (OJ L 51, 20.2.2014, p. 1) plus amending budgets No 1/2014 to No 7/2014.

(6)  The own resources for the 2015 budget are determined on the basis of the budget forecasts adopted at the 160th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources on 19 May 2014.

(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)  Calculation of rate: (103 180 111 898) / (139 753 266 000) = 0,738301972119922.

(10)  Rounded percentages.

(11)  The amount of enlargement-related expenditure corresponds to total allocated expenditure in the ten Member States which joined the Union on 1 May 2004 and the two Member States which joined the Union on 1 January 2007, 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.

(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)  p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); (138 270 491 148 + 3 010 055 265 = 141 280 546 413 = 141 280 546 413).

(15)  Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (138 270 491 148) / (13 975 326 600 000) = 0,99 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,23 %.
