This table includes the 2011 adjustments for national GDP movements. If a country's GDP is significantly above or below the estimate, the amount allocated for cohesion policies (to increase economic convergence between EU members) is adjusted accordingly (point 17 of the interinstitutional agreement).
Note – due to a change in the way GNI is calculated, the limit for own resources revenue went from 1.24% to 1.23% of the EU's GNI (see Council decision 2010/196 and the communication on the adaptation of the ceilings (COM(2010) 162 final)).
Adjustments to the financial framework
The procedures for applying the 2007-13 financial framework are set out in the 2006 interinstitutional agreementbetween the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission. This agreement includes rules on adjustments (annual or otherwise) to and revision of the financial framework.
At the beginning of every financial year, the Commission makes a technical adjustment to the financial framework for the following year. This is done for 2 reasons:
- As the financial framework is expressed in constant prices, it must be adjusted each year to take account of inflation, so each expenditure heading retains its initial purchasing power.
- The ceiling of payment appropriations is expressed as a percentage of GNI and so must be updated to take account of actual economic activity, since this must always be below the own resources ceiling. Margin between the ceiling for payment appropriations and own resources ceiling is also expressed in % of GNI and is updated during the technical adjustment exercise.
By adjusting, the Commission can check whether the amount of own resources available is enough to cover total payment appropriations. The technical adjustment is based on the most recent data and economic forecasts available and is always presented in Spring before the draft budget for the following year is adopted by the Commission.
