# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/2097 of 26 October 2015 on setting up the Integrated Carbon Observation System European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ICOS ERIC) (Text with EEA relevance), Appendix ANNEX 2: ANNUAL CONTRIBUTIONS Extent: E+W+S+N.I. PREFACE Resourcing of the ICOS National Networks is organised nationally, and the funding is not included in host contributions. ICOS Central Facilities, operated outside the ICOS ERIC either as national or as multinational consortia, are funded in major part from the hosting countries and in lesser part by ICOS ERIC through reallocation of annual contributions. ICOS ERIC integrated activities are funded by annual contributions and by host premium contributions. PRINCIPLES Annual membership contribution to the ICOS ERIC is based on the following variables: common basic contribution (50 % of the common contributions), common GNI-based contribution (50 % of the common contributions), station-based contributions. Hosting countries are committed to pay host premium contributions to ICOS ERIC (HO, CP). Observers will pay annual Observer contributions based on the same calculation method as for Members. Members or Observers joining the ICOS ERIC will pay the full annual contribution for the year of entry. Annual contributions of intergovernmental organisations will be decided by the General Assembly. ICOS ERIC budget and activities will be adjusted to match the revenue. Initial commitments Before the end of the initial 5-year period the General Assembly will decide about the calculation method for subsequent periods. (a) initial commitment for Members is 5 years (unless GA decides otherwise). No initial commitment for Observers; (b) the indicative revenue structure of ICOS ERIC for 5 years is shown below (Table 1) and is based on an estimated participation of the countries that have signed the Letter of Intent; (c) the maximum relative host premium contribution for the first 5-year budget of the Head Office or Carbon Portal cannot exceed 80 % of the annual budget of each component; (d) the initial ICOS RI total 5-year budget is detailed in the financial plan (location to be defined); (e) annual contributions are listed in Table 2. Note: the budget is an estimate based on countries' intention to become ICOS ERIC in 2013. It will be revised based on the final membership by the first GA.
