CROUNDS
1.On31October theCommission issued Decision 2794/80/ECSC introducing
ascheme ofproduction quotasto help deal with themanifest crisis inthe
Community steel industry .
Tohelp with theimplementation ofthis Decision theCommission decided to
secure theservices ofupto100production engineers seconded from steel
firms andabout 45experts from auditing firms .
Checks have "been made atsteel firms since thevery beginning ofNovember ;
nearly 300firms representing more than $OfoofCommunity output areinvolved .
The details are described atII.
2.Thetotal cost ofthe operation was estimated at9million ECU ,ofwhich
7million would beborne bythe 1981 budget .Theaccuracy oftheestimate
hasbeen confirmed byactual costs inthe first fewmonths .
Expenditure onthese checks ,undertaken chiefly onthebasis ofArticle 47
oftheECSC Treaty ,isfinanced from Article 262ofthegeneral budget
(Community studies andsurveys ).
3.Atthebeginning ofthis year theCommission earmarked 1.2million ECU
from Article 262forthese checks .On27February itasked thebudgetary
authority totransfer 1million ECUfrom Chapter 101 (Contingency reserve )
toArticle 262andstated that itwould beasking forafarther transfer to
cover the rest ofthe cost .
\
4.Westill have 4*8million ECUtofinance .TheCommission hasmade savings
andcompressed expenditure wherever possible ,and itnow believes that these
4.8million ECUcanbereleased from Chapter 33(itemized below ).
Thefunds canbeobtained from research and indirect –action appropriations
where delays intheimplementation ofprogrammes mean that there arequite
substantial sums unspent :

II.Checks aremade onallproducts subject tothequota scheme ,andtwo
' ■complementary techniques areapplied .First ,alltherelevant firms
arerequired tomake adaily return lpytelex oftheir output ofsteel
products covered byDecision 2794/80/ECSC ;thedaily returns arefollowed
"byweekly andmonthly telex returns giving total output fortherelevant
period ,with corrections ifnecessary .
Then ,these returns arechecked onthe spot byinspections which ,inthe
large firms atleast ,areproceeding constantly ;inpractice actual
output iscompared with thefigures given inthereturns .
Thechecks axemade byinspection teams consisting ofengineers and
accountants (see1,1above );their function istomonitor theproduction
process atthefirm itself andcompare their ownfindings with thefirm 's
return .
The checks cover :
–total output ofcrude steel (ordinary andspecial );
–output ofrolled products ofthecategories specified intheDecision ;
–deliveries ofrolled products inthose categories .
The figures obtained from thetelex returns andfrom theinspectors *own
checks arefedinto thecomputer inLuxembourg ,where aspecial programme
hasbeen designed tocalculate the quotas andcheck that output ateach
firm iswithin the limits .
III .TheCommission accordingly requests thebudgetary authority toapprove
thetransfer of4*8million ECUfrom Chapter 33toArticle 262ofthe
general budget for 1981 .
