These transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT own resources base.\n(2)\nBy virtue of Article 371 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Ireland may continue to exempt transactions listed in point 10 of Part B of Annex X to that Directive.\n(3)\nIreland has requested authorisation from the Commission to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base since it is unable to make the precise calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in point 10 of Part B of Annex X to the VAT Directive. Such calculation is likely to involve an unjustified administrative burden in relation to the effect of these transactions on Ireland’s total VAT own resources base. Ireland is able to make a calculation using approximate estimates for this category of transactions. Ireland should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resource base using approximate estimates in accordance with the second indent of Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89.\n(4)\nFor reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
