ANNEX

For the purpose of the implementation of Article 1 of Directive 89/130/EEC, Euratom, the following points aim to clarify Article 2 of this Directive regarding the valuation of output of goods and services (P 10).

The following are excluded from 'Production and import subisides' (R 30):

• - 

  payments by general government for specific groups of households previously defined, and which, for administrative reasons, are made to market units to enable them to reduce the price of products for these households. These payments are specifically calculated so as to compensate for the price reductions granted to those households,

• - 

  payments made by general government to market producer units to pay entirely, or in part, for goods and services that those market producer units provide directly and individually to households and to which households have a legally established right.

These payments are treated either as social benefits (R 64), as miscellaneous current transfers (R 69) or as collective consumption (P 30).
