The calculations are based on 2021 import volumes of the products covered by the proposed Regulation in excess of the annual duty-free quota. 2021 was the last year before autonomous trade measures were introduced.

Based on the above calculations the loss of traditional own resources revenue from this Decision is estimated at EUR 0.366 million (gross amount, including collection costs) x 0,75 = EUR 0.274 million for the period in question.
