COMMISSION OF THE  EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES 
COM(83) 245 final 
Brussels,  29 April 1983 
Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL DECISION 
amending  Decision  82/836/EEC on the  1982 cereals food-aid  programme 
(submitted  to the  Council  by the  Commission) 
COM(83) 245 final 

2. 
Explanatory  memorandum 
The first instalment  of the 1982  cereals  food aid programme 
adopted by the  Council  on 25  April 1982 (1)  allocated  Mozambique 
25 000 t of  cereals  to be delivered  CIF. 
When the Council  adopted the supplementary  cereals 
programme  on 3J December  1982 a  further  15 000 t was  allocated  to Mozambique, 
bringing  its total allocation  to 40 000 t. 
On that second  occasion  it was  specified  by mistake  that the 
whole allocation  was to be  delivered  FOB; a  contradiction  in respect  of 
the first allocation  and inaccurate  in respect  of the second. 
The result  is that the Commission  finds  itself unable to 
mobilize  this aid though it is  urgently required.  The Commission 
accordingly  proposes  that the Council  adopt the  decision  at annex and 
amend the annex to its  Decision  of 3 December  1982 so  that the aid to 
Mozambique  can be  delivered  CIF instead  of FOB.

whereas,  in accordance  with Council Decisions  81/407/EEC (1) and 82/77/EEC  (2),the 
European  Economic Community has  deposited  a declaration  of provisional 
application  of the Food Aid  Convention  1980 and of the 1981  Protocol  for 
the first extension  of the  Convention  to 30 June 1983; 
whereas  certain developing countries  and specialized  agencies  have requested 
food aid in the  form of cereals  from the Community; whereas  their situation 
and that  of the Community  warrant  a total allocation  of one  million  tonnes  of 
Community aid; 
whereas,  by Decision  82/270/EEC  (3), the Council  adopted  a programme of  cereals 
aid amounting  to 927 663  tonnes;  whereas by  its Decision  82/836/EEC (4)  that 
quantity  was increased  to one  million  tonnes; 
whereas the latter  Decision contains  a clerical  error regarding  the terms 
governing  the delivery  of the  food aid to Mozambique,
