G R O U N D S
I. Commission Regulation (EEC) N° 3184/83 on the operation of the system  
of advances in respect of expenditure financed by the EAGGF Guarantee  
Fund provides for the Member States to submit to the Commission a  
monthly statement of expenditure by the 20th day of the following  
month, that is, in the case of expenditure in December, by 20 January.  
However, in the case of expenditure on storage, corrections may be  
sent to the Commission up to 20 February.
In the light of those statements the Commission is now proposing a  
series of transfers from chapter to chapter pursuant to Article 101(1)  
of the Financial Regulation.
II. Expenditure in 1983 was very high throughout the year. In order to  
hold expenditure within the limit set by supplementary and amending  
budget N° 2/83, the Commission adopted a series of measures, the main  
one being the suspension of advances for refunds and premiums. At  
the end of the year there remained some 30 million ECU in unused ap­
propriations .
The attached transfers involve 403,8 million ECU, or 2.5 % of esti­
mated expenditure. They are adjusting transfers designed to permit  
commitment and charging as a payment as provided for by Article 97  
of the Financial Regulation. They constitute the final adjustment  
to appropriations for 1983 to take account of expenditure declared  
by the paying agencies of the Member States.
III. PROPOSED TRANSFERS
1. Transfers to reduce appropriations are proposed for the chapters  
of cereals and rice, sugar, olive oil, textile plants and silkworms,  
products of the wine-growing sector, tobacco, milk and milk pro­
ducts, other sectors of agricultural products, pigmeat and COM in  
fishery products.
1.1. Chapter 10 - Cereals and rice
The lower expenditure in the sector is due to the fact that  
carryover payments for marketing year 1982/83 were lower than  
those forecast.

-  2 -
1.2. Chapter 11 - Sugar
The lower expenditure in the sector is due to the fact that  
payments for refunds were lower than forecast since exports 
to third countries proved to be lower than those expected.
1.3. Chapter 12 - Olive oil
A reinforcement of this chapter was effected in November 1983  
to cover the supplementary expenditure expected for the con­
sumption aid. However, expenditure has been lower than that  
expected due to the fact that the effect of the suspension  
of advances, decided by the Commission in October, proved to  
be stronger than that forecast.
Moreover, the receipts realized as a result of the difference  
between selling and intervention prices from the product sold  
out of public storage were actually higher than those forecast.
1.4. Chapter 14 - Textile plants and silkworms
The lower expenditure in the sector is due to a slight reduc­
tion of the area expected to be cultivated with hemp and also  
to the fact that private storage has not taken place at all.
1.5. Chapter 16 - Products of the wine-growing sector
A reinforcement of this chapter was effected in November 1983  
to cover the supplementary expenditure expected for certain  
intervention operations. However, final expenditure in the  
sector has been lower than that expected, mainly due to the  
fact that the effect of the suspension of advances proved to  
be stronger than that forecast.
1.6. Chapter 17 - Tobacco
A reinforcement of this chapter was effected in November 1983  
to cover the supplementary expenditure expected after the rec­
tification of the figures for the quantities produced for crop  
year 1982. However, this increase has been neutralised by the  
effect of the suspension of advances on payments for crop  
year 1983, which proved to be stronger than that forecast.
1.7. Chapter 18 - Other sectors of agricultural products
The lower expenditure in the sector is due to the fact that  
the quantities benefitting from the aid were actually lower  
than those forecast.
1.8. Chapter 20 - Milk and milk products
Savings have been realized in the sector as a result of the  
suspension of advances for exports and aids, the application  
from 1.12.83 of the new regulation 3184/83 altering the method  
of declaring 2nd category expenditure, and also the restric­
tion of advances paid to Member states. The lower expenditure

- 3 -
therefore, is due mainly to these reasons.since they had as a result  
that the quantities offered into intervention, and also these bene-  
fitting from the different aids were lower than those forecast.
1.9. Chapter 23 - Pigmeat
The lower expenditure in the sector is due to the fact that both quan­
tities exported and these benefitting from the aids for private storage  
were actually lower than those forecast.
1-10. Chapter 40 - COM in fishery products
The lower expenditure in the sector is mainly due to the fact that expen­
diture on refunds was lower than initially estimated, due-to the decision  
taken by the Commission to fixe at zero the rate of refunds from 1.11.83.  
Moreover, expenditure on intervention was lower, since the market situa­
tion in the sector proved to be better than that forecast.
2. Transfers to increase appropriations are proposed for the chapters of  
oil seeds and protein plants,fruits and vegetables, beef and veal, sheep-  
meat and goatmeat and monetary compensatory amounts.
2.1. Chapter 13 — Oil seeds and protein plants
Although a reinforcement of this chapter was effected under the supple­
mentary and amending budget N° 2/83, due to an expected increase in pro­
duction in the sector, a supplementary credit is however necessary, since  
the actual increase in production proved to be more important than that  forecast..
2.2. Chapter 15 - Fruits and vegetables
The reinforcement of this chapter, effected under the supplementary and  
amending budget N° 2/83, has not finally proved sufficient, and a supple­
mentary credit is necessary to cover the higher expenditure actually rea­
lised for the compensation for withdrawals and buying-in and for proces­
sing and free distribution operations.
Moreover, for the tomato-based products, payments in relation to market­
ing year 1983/84 have already realized for more than 20% of the produc­
tion, compared to 10% of the same period of the previous year.
2.3. Chapter 21 - Beef and veal
The supplementary credit for this chapter is due to the fact that the  
increases of both the quantities exported and the offers into interven­
tion were actually higher than those forecast.
2.4. Chapter 22 - Sheepmeat and goatmeat
A reinforcement of this chapter is necessary, since a fall in market  
prices for sheepmeat, notably in the United Kingdom, provoked an increase  
in payments for premiums more important than those forecast.
2.5. Chapter 28 - Monetary Compensatory Amounts
The supplementary credit for this chapter is due to an increase in the  
volume of intra-Community trade, more important than that forecast.
