  "text": "1. Canada shall contribute to the financing of the common costs of the EU military crisis management operation, subject to paragraph 3.\n2. Any financial contribution of Canada to the common costs shall be the lower amount of the following two alternatives:\n(a) that share of the reference amount for the common costs which is in proportion to the ratio of its GNI to the total of the GNIs of all States contributing to the common costs of the operation; or\n(b) that share of the reference amount for the common costs which is in proportion to the ratio of the number of its personnel participating in the operation to the total number of personnel of all States participating in the operation.\nIn calculating 2(b), where Canada contributes personnel only to the Operation or Force Headquarters, the ratio used shall be that of its personnel to that of the total number of the respective headquarters personnel. Otherwise, the ratio shall be that of all personnel contributed by Canada to that of the total personnel of the operation.\n3. The European Union shall, in principle, exempt Canada from financial contributions to the common costs of a particular EU military crisis management operation when the European Union decides that Canada’s participation in the operation provides a significant contribution to assets and/or capabilities which are essential for this operation.\n4. Where appropriate, an arrangement shall be concluded between the Administrator provided for in Council Decision 2004/197/CFSP of 23 February 2004 establishing a mechanism to administer the financing of the common costs of EU operations having military or defence implications, and the competent administrative authorities of Canada. This arrangement shall include, inter alia, provisions on:\n(a) the amount concerned;\n(b) the arrangements for payment of the financial contribution;\n(c) the auditing procedure.",
