Proposal for a Council Decision relating to a contribution to the European Coal and 
Steel Community out of the general budget of the Communities 
(Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 18 April 1983) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the 
European Economic Community, and in particular 
Article 235 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Whereas the difficulties currently facing the 
Community's iron and steel industry have made it 
necessary to adopt a restructuring programme under 
the ECSC Treaty; 
Whereas this programme consists of a series of 
measures to rationalize production and raise the level 
of productivity of the industry to the level where it 
can compete on the world market, in accordance with the general objectives for steel within the meaning of 
Article 46 of the ECSC Treaty; 
Whereas this series of restructuring measures calls, of 
necessity, for social support measures to alleviate the 
negative effects of the restructuring on the workforce 
of the industry concerned; 
Whereas the programmes which the Commission 
agreed to support within the framework of the '1981 
social volet', using the range of readaptation aids 
provided for by Article 56 (2) (b) of the ECSC 
Treaty, expired in all but one Member State at the 
end of 1982; 
Whereas it is essential to continue and supplement 
these extraordinary measures in the period 1983 to 
1986, in view of the considerable additional job losses 
estimated for that period as well as the new char­
acteristics of the age structure of the steel industry 
workforce and the worsening of unemployment in the 
affected areas; 
No C 119/8 Official Journal of the European Communities 4.5.83 
Whereas, under present circumstances, the financial 
means provided for by the ECSC Treaty do not 
provide adequate cover for financing these measures; 
Whereas, in particular, the secondary effects of the 
situation, if not remedied, would be liable to 
aggravate considerably the Community's general 
employment situation and to impair the harmonious 
development of economic activities, and this would 
undermine the achievement of one of the 
Community's main objectives; 
Whereas the Commission has submitted a request for 
an exceptional temporary contribution, estimated at 
330 million ECU, from the general budget of the 
Communites to allow the Commission to implement 
successfully the proposed social measures, HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: 
Article 1 
Contributions may be granted to the European Coal 
and Steel Community out of the general budget of 
the Communities for the purpose of providing 
Community financing for special Temporary 
allowances for the benefit of workers in iron and steel 
undertakings in the Community whose jobs are 
directly or indirectly abolished or threatened as 
a result of a restructuring plan adopted by the 
undertaking, group of undertakings or the public 
authorities in accordance with the general objectives 
for steel. 
Article 2 
The amount of the contributions referred to in Article 
1 shall be determined within the framework of the 
budgetary procedure.
