The Czech Republic has shown that the historical percentage has remained stable over time. The Czech Republic should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using a fixed percentage in accordance with the letter sent by the Commission.\n(4)\nFor reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time.\n(5)\nIt is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2005/872/EC, Euratom accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
