(included multiannual previsions )
a)Staff expenditure
Theneeds areestimated tobe5staff forthis programme .
2Category Astaff
1Category Bstaff
2Category Cstaff
Inaddition tostsff number estimates ,thecalculations
also take account ofthe rates ofsalary increases of
Commission staff used toestimate theappropriations en­
tered inthe 1982 budget ;theestimated overall increases
inthegeneral Community price index used indrawing up
thetriennial estimates ,i„e „7,7%per annum .
b)Administrative and /ortechnical expenditure
This expenditure specifically covers the cost ofmissions
and theorganization ofmeetings .Ithasbeen estimated on
thebasis ofaverage requirements .
c)Expenditure oncontracts
This expenditure covers thefinancial participation of
the Community inresearch carried out under cost-shared
contracts (studies ,research etc.)tobeconcluded with
research institutions intheMember States Sweden special­
ised .inthefield .Since "thespecific nature ofthevarious topics
andthequalifications ofthecontracting parties are likely
tovary ,ithasnotbeen possible todevise auniform method
ofcalculation .Consequently ,theestimate ofrequirements
isahypothetical onebased onthenumber ofcontracts tobe
negotiated andonaverage financial participation bythe
Community approximating to50%oftotal costs .Atallevents ,
theAdvisory Committee onProgramme Management will becon­
sulted over theallocation oftheappropriations .
