GROUNDS
1.Grounds fortheproposed transfer ofappropriations toItem8303
(Surveillance oftheCommunity fishing zone )
Atitsmeeting on24and25July 1978 ,theCouncil adopted theDecision
onfinancial participation bytheCommunity ininspection andsurveillanoe
operations inthemaritime waters ofDenmark (Greenland )andIreland
(OJNo211of1August 1978). (
Under this Deoision ,theCommunity will reimburse tothese Member States
upto56mEUA (10mEUAforDenmark and46mEUAforIreland )ofthis
eligible expenditure fortheperiod 1January 1977 "to31December 1982 .
This expenditure may covers
-investment invessels ,airoraft andland-based infrastructures and
their equipment by31December 1982 }
-theleasing ofthese inspection facilities andrelated equipment and
operating costs inthe short term andby31December 1979 atthelatest *
Itshould beremembered that ,atthepresent stage inthebudgetary procedure
for 1979t anappropriation forcommitment of40mEUA ,theCommission 's
original estimate ofthecost ,isentered inChapter 100oftheDraft
Budget for1979 forsubsequent transfer toArticle 871 (Financial participation
ininspection andsurveillance operations inthemaritime waters ofDenmark
andIreland ). -
Inthemeantime the Council hasdecided toincrease theamount proposed
bythe Commission ;itisnowtherefore necessary tomake available an
additional appropriation of16mEUA (a56mEUAless 40mEUA).
Astheperiod during whioh this measure istobecarried outbegan on
1January 1977 *thetwoMember States have already incurred considerable
expenditure which should bereimbursed assoon aspossible –inother words ,
in'1978 .This expenditure isasfollows :
-Denmark -some 5mEUA *"orthepurchase ofhelioopters andreconnaissance ,
aircraft ,theconversion ofinspection vessels ,andthenecessary navigation
andcommunications equipment ; *
-Ireland -some 11m EUAforthepurohase ofinspection vessels andthe
leasing oftwoaircraft andavessel ,together with thenecessary equipment
andoperating oosts .

InthePreliminary Draft .

Thereimbursement of16mEUAin1-978 and "theuseoftheappropriation
forcommitment entered inthe1979 Budget -40mEUA-will mean that
all the foreseen' expenditure for this measure canbecovered .
ABudget heading forthis expenditure isalready available inthe
1978 Budget ,asItem 8303 (Surveillance oftheCommunity fishing zone )was
introduced forthis purpose .Asthis Item hasbeen assigned only a
token entry ,itisproposed that anappropriation of16mEUA (for
both commitment andpayment )betransferred toitfrom theEAGGP
Guarantee Section .
2.Reason why 16mEUA canbedrawn from theGuarantee Section
InAugust 1978 ,theCommission submitted thereport ontheimplementation
oftheBudget forthesecond quarter of1978 ,which included anappraisal
oftheappropriations available for1978 intheEAGGP Guarantee Section .
Itemerged that there areample appropriations tosustain atransfer of
16mEUAtoanother part ofthe Budget .
Among theheadings where expenditure issome waybehind theappropriations
,available ,theItem forrefunds oncereals shows aparticularly large
amount outstanding .Inthe1977/78marketing year ,production ofcereals ,
particularly wheat ,was some 2.5million tonnes lower than theestimate
onwhich theBudget entry was based .Therevised assessment ofthe
cereal crop for1978/79hasonly aslight financial impact onthe1978
financial year .Itisproposed therefore that asumof16mEUAbe
drawn from theappropriations forthefollowing headings :
–Item 6000 (Refunds oncereals ): 14mEUA
\
-Article 460 (Expenditure resulting from the
-application ofdifferent exchange rates
totheEAGGP Guarantee Seotion ): 2mEUA
Theamount drawn from Article 460 isthe "dual rate "amount proportionate
tothe sum transferred out from Item 6000 .
