5.Decision No1831 /81/ECSC of24June 1981 was taken after the
preliminary draft budget for1982 wasadopted (25May 1981 )and
transmitted tothebudgetary authority (15June ).
The Commission will request theappropriations required toimplement
itsdecision in1982 inthe first amending and/orsupplementary
budget for1982 .
6.Inthemeantime /the Commi ssion hasmade aninternal transfer of
2million ECUwithin Chapter 26toensure theuninterrupted implementa
tion oftheDecision .This must now bereturned toitsoriginal
heading ifthe study programme ,ofwhich theCommission istoapprove
the first tranche inMarch ,isnot tobeheld up.
7.Thebudgetary authority isalso requested toapprove theprovisional
transfer of7million ECU toArticle 269from theappropriations for
research and investment inChapter 73 (Research and Investment ),
Article 730 (Direct action -Joint Research Centre (JRC )-Joint
programme ),Item 7300 (Nuclear safety ),which wasallocated
77.779.000 ECU incommitment appropriations and70.044.000 ECU in
payment appropriations .
This movement between chapters will not have anyadverse effect on
.theJRC research programme since thebulk oftheappropriations is
forstaff andoperating expenditure and sowill beused atasteady
rhythm throughout the year .Astheamount transferred represents
only about onetenth ofthetotal allocation ,itwill notneed tobe
returned until ,say,September .
