The total S u m  for Stabex transfers to be charged against thè year of application 
1982 exceeds thè amount available by 13.852.362 E C U . The purpose of this 
report is to request thè Committee of Ambassadors, in accordance with 
A rtid e 34(1) of thè Second L o m é  Convention, to authorise thè use in advance 
of part of thè annual instalment for thè 1983 application year up to this 
amount.

recommending that authorisation be given 
for thè use in advance of part of 
thè 1983 annual S T A B E X  instalment

1. The purpose of this report is to request thè Committee of Ambassadors, in 
accordance with A rtide 34(1) of thè Second L o m é C.ortvention, to authorise 
t> re use in advance of part of thè annual instalment fot thè 1983 application 
)*ear .
2. O f thè applications for transfers presented and appraised for Ihe 1982 
application year, thè C om m ission has accepted 35, for a  total amount of 
t02,474,315 E C U . T o  this sum  should be added thè 778,048 E C U  resulting from 
thè two transfers for thè 1981 application year, for which thè Commission, 
for reasons o f force majeure, did not receive thè requests until after
5  August 1982, thè final date set by thè Committee of Ambassadors for thè 
use of thè annual instalment for thè 1981 application year. The total sum  
to be charged against thè 1982 application year is therefore 103,252,363 E C U  
(see A nnex 1).
3. This should be set against thè sum  available, 89.4 m  E C U , representing thè 
T982 annual instalment of 111.75mECU minus 22 .35m  E C U , thè advance use of 
which for thè 1981 application year was authorised by Decision No. 8/82 of 
5  August 1982. This leaves a gap of 13,852,363 E C U .
4. A rtid e  34 of thè Second L o m é  Convention States :
"In thè case of an insufficiency of funds for a year of application thè 
Council of Ministers, on thè basis of a report submitted to it by thè Commis- 
sion, m ay :
1  . authorise, for each year except thè last, thè use in advance of a  m axim um  
of 2 0 %  of thè following year's instalment;
2. reduce thè amount of thè transfers to be made."
5. Since thè shortfall is well below 20% , it is proposed to opt for thè firs t 
possibility provided for in A rtid e 34, namely thè use in advance of thè 
annual instalment for 1983. This would take up no more than 12.4% or so of 
that instalment leaving 97,897,637 E C U  s tili available for thè following 
application year.
6. B y  its Decision No. 3/83 of 20 M a y  1983, thè A C P -E E C  Council of Ministers 
delegated its powers as regards thè transfers to be made for thè 1982 
application year to thè A C P -E E C  Committee of Ambassadors. In accordance with 
that Decision, thè Commission is therefore reporting to thè Committee, and 
proposes that thè Committee adopt thè decision, thè draft of which is attached 
in Annex 2.
