(a) 2006 expenditure under the current financial perspective has been broken down according to the proposed new nomenclature for reference and to facilitate comparisons. Expenditure in headings 3 and 4 includes amounts corresponding to the Solidarity Instrument (€ 961 at 2004 prices) and EDF (estimated at € 3 billion), respectively.

(b) Includes expenditure for the Solidarity Fund (€ 1 billion in 2004 at current prices) as from 2006. However, corresponding payments are calculated only as from 2007.

(c) The integration of EDF in the EU budget is assumed to take effect in 2008. Commitments for 2006 and 2007 are included only for comparison purposes. Payments on commitments before 2008 are not taken into account in the payment figures.

(d) Includes administrative expenditure for institutions other than the Commission, pensions and European schools. Commission administrative expenditure is integrated in the first four expenditure headings.

(e) Amounts foreseen in the agreed European Union common position for the Accession Conference with Bulgaria (CONF-BG 27/04).
