II® THIRD YEAR OFAPPLICATION OPTHE SYSTEM
11® The Commission hasreceived sixapplications for transfers for 1976 from
theOCTappropriation *Oneapplication was received from anOCTproper ,
Belize ;four were from OCT ,which have become ACPStates through Accession
totheLome Convention ,under Article 89,namely theRepublic ofComoros
and theRepublic ofDjibouti }and onefrom Tuvalu ,anOCT ,which has re­
cently gained independence ,but atthetime ofsubmitting arequest was
still anOCT proper®
12®Five applications were admissible since thedependence andfluctuation
thresholds provided forbythe Decision onthe association oftheOCT
with the EEC had been exceeded under the conditions set®
13® One transfer demand was refused because thefluctuation threshold of
2,5i0wasnotsurpassed®
14®Examination ofthe trend oftotal exports from the countries and terri­
tories concerned didnot show any significant change ,and consequently
there wasnoneed forconsultations within themeaning ofArticle 21(4)
ofthe Decision®
15® The overall results for the latest year ofapplication oftheDecision
are asfollows :
OCT Product Amount oftransfer inEUA
Belize Sawn timber 202,714

Ylang-Ylang 170,596
Djibouti Raw hides ,skins
andleather 169,629
1,260,556
1,463,270
16®Two ofthethree countries concerned received non–repayable transfers ,
whereas Belize will berequired tocontribute towards thereconstitution
oftheresources made available forthesystem® For1977 ,86$oftrans­
fers were therefore made intheform ofgrants ,and 14 intheform of
aloan®

hides ,skins andleather 1106 sawn timber 13®8$andylang-ylang 11»7
These transfers compensated for falls inearnings resulting from local
circumstances and market condi tions®
18®With regard tothereconstitution oftheresources ,theCommission ,in
accordance with Article 23(3)oftheDecision ,andthepractical arrange­
ments embodied intheexchange ofletters which takes place ontheocca­
sion ofeach transfer ,carried outthenecessary investigations incon­
nection with thetransfers made for1975 1976 toOCTwhich hadunder­
taken tocontribute tothereconstitution ofthesystem 'sresources *The
investigations showed ,that inthecase oftheGilbert Islands ,andthe
Anglo –French Condominium oftheNewHebrides ,theconditions laid down
intheDecision ,asnecessitating reconstitution oftheresources ,had
been met .The Commission notified theresponsible Authorities oftheOCT
concerned ofitsfindings®
19.Theauthorities oftheGilbert Islands ,andoftheNew Hebrides ,informed
theCommission that they agreed with thecalculated figures# The Gilbert
Islands will beexpected toreconstitute 174*972 EUAwith respect tothe
1976 transfer® TheNewHebrides isrequired toreconstitute 1,103,499 EUA
with respect tothe1975 transfer ,and327,364 EUAwith respect tothe
1976 transfer#

Gilbert Islands ,theSolomon Islands andTuvalu .Having been initially turned
down ,they have nowbeen accepted ,byanalogy with thesolution given toa
similar problem for the ACP States .

descultures vivrieres ).This cereal issuited toComorian eating habits ,
apart from theform inwhich itisconsumed ,and cangradually replace rice
since local production ofthe latter isvery limited and jscontinuing to
drop ;
.renewing andboosting export crops ,including thevanilla plant
and clove tree .
Land usemaps have been helpful inguiding anddirecting activities
inthe field .
Ithasbeen planned todevelop cash crops bygraving acombination of
vanilla plants ,clove trees ,banana trees andpigeon peas onthesame
plot ofland .
Thepuropose ofthis operation istoprovide thevanilla plants and
clove trees (sciaphilous species )with the shade they need forthe first
fewyears and toharvest intermediate crops (pigeon peas ,bananas )until
thevanilla plants andsubsequently theclove trees become productive in
their turn .
Asthecombined cropping system isnormal practice inrural areas ,the
proposed scheme canquickly beadopted bytheComorian peasants .
Asimilar plan wasintroduced formaize ,with leguminous food crops
-pigeon peas orgroundnuts -being grown between the rows .
Allthese schemes have involved themobilization ofafairly
substantial volume offunds (details given below ,with shares ofcosts
covered bytheStabex transfer for1976 ).
