Under Article 2(3)(b )oftheRegulation ,theappropriations inthe

Itieexpected that 3©%efthis amount -7283293.17 SOU-
will bepaid "before theend .ofthis year asadvances under
Article 6(l)(c )ofthenon-quota regulations .
These amounts will notexhaust theappropriations inthe1980 budget .
Inaccordance with Article 2(3)(b )oftheFund Regulation ,
theunused appropriations (58250000–24277660 .58=33972339*42 ECU
incommitment appropriations and10625000–7283298.17 ■3341701.83 ECU
inpayment appropriations )must beallocated toquota measures
covered byChapter 55ofthebudget .
TheCommission therefore requests the Council andParliament to
approve thenecessary transfer .
Once again ,itisintended toreallocate these appropriations
tothenon-quota section (Chapter 56)should theneed arise .
