Assigned revenue
Article 8
1. Assigned revenue shall be earmarked to finance-specific items of expenditure. 2. The following shall constitute assigned revenue: (a) financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public agencies, entities or natural persons, and from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission or the EIB on their behalf in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EU) 2015/322; (b) revenue earmarked for a specific purpose, such as income from foundations, subsidies, gifts and bequests; (c) revenue arising from the repayment, following recovery, of amounts wrongly paid; (d) repayments and revenues generated by financial instruments or budgetary guarantees pursuant to Article 209(3) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046; (e) revenue arising from the subsequent reimbursement of taxes pursuant to point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 27(3) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046. 3. Assigned revenue referred to in points (a) and (b) of paragraph 2 shall finance such items of expenditure as determined by the donor, provided that it is accepted by the Commission. Assigned revenue referred to in points (d) and (e) of paragraph 2 shall finance items of expenditure similar to those from which it was generated. 4. Articles 25, 26 and 27 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 shall apply. Acceptance of a donation shall be subject to the authorisation of the Council. 5. The 11th EDF resources corresponding to assigned revenue shall be made available automatically when that revenue has been received by the Commission. However, an estimate of amounts receivable shall have the effect of making 11th EDF resources available in the case of assigned revenue referred to in point (a) of paragraph 2 where the agreement with the Member State is expressed in euros; in such cases, payments may be carried out against such revenue only when it has been received.
