THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (2), and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof,
Whereas, after the appropriations to be used for financing the measures undertaken on the initiative of the Commission and those provided for in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2080/93 of 20 July 1993 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the financial instruments of fisheries guidance (3) have been deducted, the funds available for commitment from the Structural Funds, expressed in 1994 prices, amount to ECU 819,2 million for the period 1994 to 1999 for Objective 5 (a) (fisheries structures);
