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 0,7023 %.

Remarks
According to Article 15 of the Financial Regulation, the balance from each financial year, whether surplus or deficit, is entered as revenue or expenditure in the budget of the subsequent financial year.
The relevant estimates of such revenue or expenditure are entered in the budget during the budgetary procedure and, where appropriate, in a letter of amendment submitted pursuant to Article 34 of the Financial Regulation. They are drawn up in accordance with the principles set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.
After the closure of the accounts for each financial year, any discrepancy in relation to the estimates is entered in the budget for the following financial year through an amending budget that must be presented by the Commission within 15 days following the submission of the provisional accounts.
A deficit is entered in Article 27 02 01 of the statement of expenditure of Section III ‘Commission’.

(1) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2012 budget (OJ L 56, 29.2.2012, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1/2012 to No 3/2012.
(2) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2011 budget (OJ L 68, 15.3.2011, p. 1) plus Amending Budget No 1/2011 to Amending Budget No 7/2011.
(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 2012 budget (OJ L 56, 29.2.2012, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1/2012 to No 3/2012.
(5) The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2011 budget (OJ L 68, 15.3.2011, p. 1) plus Amending Budget No 1/2011 to Amending Budget No 7/2011.
(6) The own resources for the 2012 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 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: (92 221 838 371) / (131 309 163 000) = 0,702325993586601.
(11) Rounded percentages.
(12) 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 2004-2010, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the Union GDP deflator for years 2007-2010 (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) p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); 126 015 355 796 + 3 072 687 152 = 129 088 042 948 = 129 088 042 948).
(16) Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (126 015 355 796) / (13 130 916 300 000) = 0,96 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,23 %.
