COM(75 )11final

Thesituation ofthemost seriously affected countries (MSA )
Information published inthesecond half of1974 bythevarious specia­
lized institutions (CECD ,IBRD ,IMP,UN)hasunfortunately confirmed the
diagnosis itfade bytheCommission initscommunication of20March 1974#
Between 1972 and1974 thirty-ti'r .ofthepoorest -^developing countries
witnessed adeterioration intheir terms oftrade ,leading toanetloss for
1974 alone oftheorder of^3600million ,approximately half ofwhich was
attributable ^toincreased oilprices andtheother half duetotheincreased
prices offood products ,fertilizers andother manufactured products .
Without emergency aidintervention andthespecial facilities granted
bythe IMFthose countries would in1974 have hadanintolerable balance of
payments deficit estimated atalmost $2900million .Itwaspossible to
reduce this deficit to^1000million' bymeans ofthose aids andfacilities .
The rest con.1 dTv> only nt .the cost ofasevere decreo.se inthe
oxchan /T"1T,esprv~r o-fronrt nf+hncountries concerned .Onaverage their ,
reserves on!tw >non+hr *imports rtthe end of1974 *
Asaresult -these countries areentering 1975 without anyroom for
manoeuvre while itisforeseen that their cumulated balance ofpayments
deficit forthat year will exceed ^2300million .Itshould further be
pointed outthat these estimates were made atatime when itcould still be
reasonably hoped that theeconomic trend inthemajor industrialized countries
would pick upagain bytheendofthefirst quarter .If,asmust befeared ,
this does nothappen ,theMSAcountries risk having their export earnings
considerably reduced in1975 1which would further aggravate their balance of
payments difficulties . ••
While inrsome canes' the existence ofsuch adeficit means that
their importr nfe–pital goods will bereduced ,andthus their investment
effort sloped dorm andgrowth halted ,inmost cases theconsequences
will bemore tragic .

!

Thefirst ofthese twoelements ofuncertainty waspartly removed when
Congress passed theForeign Assistance Act (which wassigned byPresident
Ford on30December 1974 )*This Actauthorizes foreign aidcommitments of
ST2697million fortheyear ending .30June197%
TheBill placed before Congress provided ,inter alia «fordevelopment
aidcommitments vis-a-vistheMSAcountries totalling $£-1000million ,an
increase of^222million over thecorresponding figure forthepreceding
taxyear .AidtotheMSAcountries includes project aidtotalling ^331
million ,which cannot strictly speaking beconsidered asacontribution to
theanergency operation .
.Theabove information wasgiven totheUnited Nations inOctober 1974 *
However ,unlike thefirm contributions announced byother countries ,itwas
notpublished onaccount oftheuncertainty astothefinal decision of
Congress ontheAdministration 'srequests .
Inamending theoriginal Bill Congress reduced considerably theamounts
earmarked inparticular formilitary assistance andreconstruction inSouth
Vietnam but left unchanged thevolume offinancial aidfortheMSAcountries .
Moreover ,Congress' insisted that theAdministration reserve fortheMSA
countries atleast JO$ofthe^89Imillion setaside forfood aid (PL48o)(l).
This should result inafurther increase intherate ofgrowth ofAmerican
emergency aidtotheMSAcountries (2).
Lastly ,itshould benoted that inSeptember 1974 President Ford formally
assured theUnited Nations General Assembly that asregards food aidhis
oountry would endeavour during thecurrent taxyear tosupply more than the
minimum provided forbytheForeign Assistance Act .This wasreiterated by
Ambassador Scali atthefirst meeting ofthecountries contributing tothe
emergency operation andwasfurther confirmed intheUSAdministration 's
replies toDrPrebisch 'squestionnaires .
(1)Intheinitial Bill more than 50$byvalue ofthefood aidwaslinked to
thesecurity assistance policy and v;asintended forVietnam ,Korea ,Israel ,
Jordan and Chile .
(2)Theprecise consequences ofthis decision byCongress onthevolume ofaid
totheKSAcountries will become known during January .Upon first examina­
tion theredistribution suggests anincrease ofaround 180million . j

According totheQECD ,theOPEC countries'official development aid
commitments (l)vas-a-visthedeveloping countries asawhole amounted at
theendofNovember 1974 to^9600million for1974 alone .Actual disburse­
ments forthesame year areestimated at^2600million ,orapproximately
2ioofthetotal GMPoftheoil-producing countries (2).
Tothese aidflows must beadded non-concessionary financial flows ,
