II.DETAILED GROUNDSFORTHEEXTRAAPPROPRIATIONS
(a)Chapter80,'Article800:projectsfortheimprovementof
agricultural structuresprovidedforunderArticle13ofRegulation
(EEC)No17/64.
Althoughtherehas"beenprogressintheapplication ofthecommon
measures,particularly thedirectivesforagricultural reform,
theirimpactonexpenditure undertheGuidanceSectionisstill
notaslargeasexpected.Onthebasisofapplications for
reimbursement presentedbytheMemberStates,theexpenditure
oncommonmeasuresandspecialmeasuresamountsto103307185u.a.
Thismeansthattheappropriations forcommitment andtheappropriations
forpaymententeredforthispurposeinthe1977Budgetexceedthe
expendituretobemetby50492815u.a.and40492815u.a.
respectively .
InaccordancewithArticle6(4)ofRegulation(EEC)NO729/70,
commonmeasureshavepriorityintheuseoftheappropriations
allocatedtotheEAGGFGuidanceSection.Ihebalancemustbe
usedtofinanceindividualprojectswithinthemeaningofRegulation
No17/64/EEC.
TheapplicationsforaidsubmittedunderRegulation17/64/EEC
forindividualprojectsareonaslargeascaleasintheprevious
years.
For1977,1000applicationsforaidweresubmitted;76projects
carriedforwardaretobeaddedtothisfigure.Atotalof1076
applications ,then,representing 435millionu.a.intotalaid
requested,hasbeenintroducedfor1977*
Itisthereforeproposedtoallocatetotheindividualprojects

measureswhichcannotbeusedtofinancethem;theamountsare
50492815u.a.inappropriations forcommitmentand40492815
u.a.inappropriations forpayment.

(b)Chapter 82,Item 8200 :Producer groups and .associations thereof
On21February theCommission presented totheCouncil a
proposal foraregulation onproducer groups andassociations
thereof .This proposal concerned allcategories ofproducer
proups .Consequently noappropriation was entered inItems
89OO and8940 forgroups offruit andvegetable producers or
producer groups inthefisheries sector .
On27May 1977 theCommission presented totheCouncil an
amended proposal excluding groups forwhich Community legislation
isalready inforce ;this particularly applies tothefruit and
vegetable andfishery sectors .
Itistherefore proposed tomake reimbursements inrespect of
these twotypes ofproducer groups against Item 8200 ,which
must ,however ,beallocated more funds forthis purpose .The
sumrequired is4614 115u.a .inappropriations forcommitment
forpayment .
(c)Chapter 82.Item 8201 tHopproducer groups
Inaccordance with Article 17(3 )oftheCouncil Regulation (EEC)
No.1696/71of26July 1971 onthecommon organization ofthe
market inhops ,theEAGGF Guidance Section reimburses to
Member States 2$%ofeligible expenditure which they incur to
encourage theformation and facilitate theoperation ofhop
producer groups ,and50$ofexpenditure onchanging todifferent
varieties andreorganizing hopgardens .Itcanbeseen from the
applications forreimbursement submitted totheCommission upto
30September 1977 that thetotal eligible expenditure incurred
bytheMember States in1976 justifies thegranting ofaid
totalling 945346u.a .
Since theappropriations entered intheBudget for 1977 stand at
500000u.a.,anextra sumof445346u.a .inappropriations for
commitment andpayment isnecessary .

III . THE SOURCES FOR DRAWING THENECESSARY APPROPRIATIONS
(a)Chapter 81:Common measures forthereform ofagricultural
structures
In1977 thefinancial impact ofcommon measures ontheEAGGF
Guidance Section hasbeen smaller than expected .Onthebasis
ofthereimbursement applications submitted bytheMember States
which hadincurred expenditure in1976 ,theamounts oftheaid
forwhich payment isrequested under thefinancial year 1977 are
asfollows :
-Modernization offarms :14827 139
provided for)
–Cessation offarming :95102u.a .
for)
–Vocational guidance andtraining : <
3.8mu.a .provided for)
–Hill andmountain farming :60732
provided for)1u.a .(instead of18.8 mu.a .
(instead of1.4nu.a .provided
673081u.a .(instead of
108u.a .(instead of74*3 mu.a .
For these four common measures theexpenditure thus amounts to
76327430u.a .instead of98.3mu.a .
(b)Chapter 83:Common measures inparticular sectors
(1)Item 8302 :Conversion inthenorv-industrial inshore fishing
sector
Since theproposal foraregulation presented bytheCommission to
theCouncil on 28November 1975 onthereorganization ofthe
non-industrial fishing sector hasnotyetbeen adopted ,the
appropriations forcommitment entered inthe 1977 Budget arenot
needed .
(2)Item 8322 :Reorganization offruit production
Inaccordance with Article 7(2)ofCouncil Regulation (EEC)
.No794/76laying down further measures forreorganizing Community
fruit production ,theEAGGF Guidance Section reimburses 50^
theeligible expenditure toMember States .
