I. SUBJECT 
1. The purpose of this communication is to proposa that, in accordance with 
Article 121(4) of council Decision of 25 July 1991 on the association of trie 
OCT with the EFC, .be Council reduce the amount of the transfers to be mr.dti 
to two overseas territories for the 1992 application year because the aua in 
question e*- ^rds the total resources available.

ECU 1 200 000. nevertheless, they are still not enough to cover the 
system's obligations for the 1992 application year. 
5. For this reason, the transfer bases have to be reduced pursuant to 
Article 121(2), which reads as follows: 
"If, after the operation referred to in paragraph 1, the amount of resources 
available is still less than the total amount of the transfer bases referred 
to in paragraph 1 for the same year of application, the amount of each 
transfer basis shall be reduced by 10% of that amount." 
3 
6. Following the calculations referred to above the transfer bases are 
reduced as follows: 
OCT Product Transfer basis 
French Polynesia Copra oil ECU 111 403 
Falkland Islands Wool ECU 2 443 463 
7. Since the sum to be paid, ECU 2 554 866, still exceeds the resources 
available, the Council may, in accordance with Article 121(4) of the Council 
Decision on 25 July 1991 and acting on a proposal from the Commission, 
reduce the amounts to be paid still further. 
1 
II. EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
8. Article 121(4) of the Council Decision of 25 July 1991 on the association 
of the OCT with the EEC requires the Council to take a decision taking into 
account the resources available for the 1992 application year. 
9. For this reason it is proposed that the transfer bases be reduced further 
by the percentage difference between the sum payable in application of 
Article 121(2) of the said Council Decision and the available resources of 
ECU 1 200 000. The percentage difference has been established as 53.0308%. 
10. After this last reduction the final transfer rights are as follows: 
OCT Product Transfer basis 
French Polynesia copra oil ECU 52 325 
Falkland Islands Wool ECU 1 147 675 
1 200 000 
III. PROPOSAL 
11. In the light of the above, the commission asks the council to adopt 
the attached Decision. 
\f 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DECISION 
'of 
reducing the transfers to be paid 
to the overseas countries and territories (OCT) 
under the system for stabilizing export earnings 
set up by Council Decision of 25 July 1991 
on the association of the OCT 
with the European Economic Community 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, 
Having regard to Council Decision 91/482/EEC of 25 July 1991 on the 
association of the overseas countries and territories with the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 121(4) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 118, 120 and 121 of the Decision referred to 
above, ECU 1 200 000 has been made available to cover all commitments to the 
overseas countries and territories arising from the system for stabilizing 
export earnings for the year of application 1992; 
Whereas under the system transfer rights for the 1992 year of application 
have been established for two OCT, for which the transfer bases calculated 
in accordance with Article 124 of the said Decision, and reduced in 
accordance with Article 121(2) of the same Decision, total ECU 2 554 866; 
Whereas the amount referred to above exceeds the ECU 1 2 00 00 0 available for 
the 1991 year of application; 
Whereas the total transfer bases will therefore have to be reduced by 
53.0308%,

SUIVANT ARTICLE 129 DE LA DECISION DU CONSEIL 
DU 25.7.1991 
POLYNESIE FRANÇAISE - Année d'application 1992 
- Produit : STX 14 huile de coprah 
Les statistiques présentées par la Polynésie Française pour le produit ci-
dessus dans le cadre de l'Article 125 de la Décision révèlent que, pendant 
l'année d'application, la production commercialisée de l'huile de coprah a 
baissé de 17,19 % par rapport à la moyenne des 4 années retenues pour le 
calcul. 
Comme il n'a pas été possible d'obtenir des renseignements sur les raisons 
ayant provoqué cette baisse, Il y a lieu d'appliquer la Décision à la let­
tre. Il a donc été décidé de réduire la base de transfert calculée d'un 
pourcentage correspondant à celui de la baisse enregistrée. 
Par la même occasion, les chiffres montrent que, examinée dans des condi­
tions identiques à celles appliquées dans le cas de la production commer­
cialisée, la proportion exportée de celle-ci a baissé de 28,05 %. 
Etant donné que, de manière générale la part non exportée constitue des re­
cettes d'exportation potentielles ou un consommation accrue sur place, il y 
a lieu d'appliquer à la base de transfert une réduction en conséquence. 
Suivant les régies du système, les réductions s'appliquent l'une après 
l'autre de manière à obtenir le calcul suivant : 
base de transfert calculée 
- 17,19 % production commercialisée 
base de transfert Intermédiaire 
- 28,05 % proportion exportée 
Base de transfert réduite 207.750 écus 
- 35.712 écus
