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

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 0,5163 %.

The Commission may impose fines, periodic penalty payments and other penalties on undertakings and associations of
undertakings for not respecting bans or not carrying out their obligations under the Regulations below or under
Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
The fines must normally be paid within three months of the Commission decision being notified. However, the
Commission will not collect the amount due when the undertaking has lodged an appeal with the Court of Justice of
the European Union. The undertaking must provide the Commission with either a provisional payment or a financial
guarantee covering both the principal of the debt and the interest or surcharges by the final date for payment.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover ESF support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in less developed
regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. The catching-up process for these economically and socially lagging
regions requires long-term sustained efforts. This category of regions concerns those regions whose GDP per capita is
less than 75 % of the average GDP of the EU-27.
Promotion of equality between women and men horizontally and through specific actions should be part of the
support provided by the ESF, in order to improve the employability of women and their participation in the labour
market. Special attention should be paid to non-discrimination in the labour market, combating the feminisation of
poverty, access to education and affordable childcare services.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover ESF support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in the 2014-2020
programming period in a new category of region (‘transition regions’) that replaces the 2007-2013 phasing-out and
phasing-in system. This category of regions includes all regions with a GDP per capita is between 75 and 90 % of the
average GDP of the EU-27.
Gender mainstreaming and gender equality specific actions should be part of the support provided by the ESF, in order
to improve the employability of women and their participation in the labour market. Special attention should be paid to
non-discrimination in the labour market, combating the feminisation of poverty, access to education and affordable
childcare services.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover ESF support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in more developed
regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. While interventions in the less developed regions will remain the
priority for cohesion policy, this appropriation is thus intended to cover important challenges that concern all Member
States such as global competition in the knowledge-based economy, the shift towards the low carbon economy and
social polarisation exacerbated by the current economic climate. This category of regions concerns those regions whose
GDP per capita is above 90 % of the average GDP of the EU-27.
Gender mainstreaming and gender equality specific actions should be part of the support provided by the ESF, in order
to improve the employability of women and their participation in the labour market. Special attention should be paid to
non-discrimination in the labour market, combating the feminisation of poverty, access to education and affordable

CHAPTER 13 03 — EUROPEAN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT FUND AND OTHER REGIONAL OPERATIONS (cont'd)
Remarks
Article 175 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides that the objectives of economic, social
and territorial cohesion set out in Article 174 shall be supported by the action it takes through the Structural Funds,
which includes the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). In accordance with Article 176, the ERDF is intended
to help redress the main regional imbalances in the Union. The tasks, priority objectives and the organisation of the

of applicable law.

144 and 145 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 on criteria for financial corrections by the Commission provide for
specific rules on financial corrections applicable to the ERDF.
Any revenue from the financial corrections carried out on that basis is entered in Article 6 5 1, 6 5 2, 6 5 3 or 6 5 4 of
the statement of revenue and constitutes assigned revenue in accordance with point (c) of Article 21(3) of the Financial
Regulation.
Article 177 of the Financial Regulation lays down the conditions for the repayment in full, or in part, of prefinancing
payments in respect of a given operation.
Article 82 of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 provides for specific rules on repayment of prefinancing applicable to the
ERDF.

Regulation and shall be entered in Item 6 1 5 0 or 6 1 5 7.
Measures to combat fraud are funded from Article 24 02 01.

This appropriation is intended to cover ERDF support under the investment for growth and jobs goal in less developed
regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. The catching up process for these economically and socially lagging

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover ERDF support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in more
developed regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. While interventions in the less developed regions will
remain the priority for cohesion policy, this appropriation is thus intended to cover important challenges that concern
all Member States such as global competition in the knowledge-based economy, the shift towards the low carbon
economy and social polarisation exacerbated by the current economic climate. This category of regions includes regions
with a GDP per capita above 90 % of the average GDP of the Union.

example, or received in excess of the final valuation of damage should be recovered.

appropriations from the reserve or, in case of insufficient appropriations in the reserve, by an amending budget
simultaneously to the mobilisation decision of the European Union Solidarity Fund.

This appropriation is intended to cover the Agency’s staff, administrative and operational expenditure for the activities
related to the implementation of the biocides legislation.
The Agency must inform the European Parliament and the Council about transfers of appropriations between
operational and administrative expenditure.
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 points (e), (f) and (g) of Article 21(2) 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.
The establishment plan of the European Chemicals Agency is set out in Annex ‘Staff’ to this section.
The Union contribution for 2017 amounts to a total of EUR 4 500 000. As the amount of the assigned revenue related
to the 2015 budget outturn is EUR 3 050 000, a contribution of 1 450 000 EUR is entered in the budget.
