EXPLANATORY NOTE
I.On6thApril 1976 theCouncil decided onfood aidthrough the
United Nations High Commission forRefugees (UNHCR )fordistressed
persons inCyprus .This aidcomprised 65O tons ofbutteroil and
10000tons cereals fordelivery FOBport ofCommunity .(UNHCR
hadaccepted this manner ofdelivery byitstelex of27/1/1976 .)
II.Negociations regarding the conditions for delivery ofthis aid
were immediately commenced with UNHCR .However ,they have been
unsuccessful ,and UNHCR has recently informed theCommission
(telex of6/7/76)that itwill beunable topayforthecosts of
transporting the aid toCyprus .UNHCR has therefore requested that the
EEC assume this expense .
III .Insupport ofitsrequest UNHCR advances thefollowing reasons :
-inprevious years ,-substantial 'cash contributions
forCyprus from various donors have made possible the
payment ofthetransport costs oftheCommunity 'said .
However ,during 1976 these contributions have been
reduced and UNHCR nolonger has .resources toundertake
such expenses ,
-cash assistance granted bytheUSA toCyprus for1976 has
already been entirely earmarked ,and cannot beused for the
transport ofCommunity aid .
IV.Inthe circumstances and bearing inmind the urgency ofthe needs
oftheCyprus refugees ,theCommission considers itdesirable that
theCommunity should make thegesture ofbearing thedelivery costs
oftheaidalready decided forCyprus .The cost ofthis step would
beapproximately 339-000 u.a.,an increase of l'f %
over the cost ofthecommodities delivered fob (2.39 Mu.a.)

This expense would becharged toarticle 92k ofthe1976
budget (food aid -other expenses );
this appropriation isintended tocover sundry expenses not
normally provided for inthe cost ofimplementing various programs .
Inconclusion theCommission proposes totheCouncil :
-todecide that the aid granted toUNHCR for Cyprus
comprising 65Otons ofbutteroil and10,000 tons cereals
bedelivered CIF port ofunloading ,
inconsequence toadopt the attached regulations .
