Refunds oncertain /roods obtained byprocessing agricultural products
Thesubstantial increase inexpenditure inthis sector compared with the
appropriations originally proposed islargely duetothedrop intheprices
ofbasic products ontheworld market andtheunexpectedly high rise in
exports ,which have been increasing considerably forsome years .
Tobacco
Following theaccelerated payment ofpremiums inItaly ,thedeclared
expenditure ishigher than theoriginal estimates .
(h)Special transaction :transfer permitting the -carry –over ofthe
appropriation corresponding tothe revenue from "co–responsibility "
«lmi
Theco-responsibility levy took effect on16September 1977 «Thereturn
from this levy amounted to21783000u.a .
Asisknown ,theexpenditure programme wasnotdrawn upuntil theend of
1977 andeffective implementation hasnottherefore been possible .
Thecurrent position isthat described intheexplanatory memorandum tothe
preliminary draft ofthefirst supplementary budget for1978 *the
appropriate step must therefore betaken topermit expenditure tobe
effected equivalent tothefinancial participation established in 1977 •
Thefollowing procedure istherefore proposed :
–thetransfer ofasumequivalent to21783000u.a .toItem 6239
(other interventions );
o*–acarry-over ofthis amount from 1977 "to1978 •
This procedure isthesimplest conceivable asithastheadvantage of
ensuring balance onthebasis ofthe 1977 Budget andprevents ,the
appropriations for1978 from being burdened with this transaction .
(c)Chapters with available appropriations
Appropriations remain available inother sectors andinparticular inthe
chapters relating tocereals ,oils andfats ,beef andveal ,pigmeat ,the
monetary andaccession compensatory amounts andthedouble exchange rate .
Inthese circumstances ,theCouncil isasked toapprove thetransfers
requested bytheCommission .
Therequest foranon-automatic carry-over will besubmitted tothe
Council attheappropriate time ,i.e. after theendofthefinancial year
on31Marbh 1977 .
