GROUNDS
1.Introduction
Initspreliminary draft budget for1982 theCommission requested the
appropriations andposts needed toopen thedelegations inNewDelhi
andBrasilia ,which ithadlisted aspriorities initsmedium-term
programme fortheopening ofexternal offices (communication of22July 1977 )
Both Parliament andtheCouncil approved theopening oftheNewDelhi
delegation ,andthe1982 budget authorized recruitment ofthestaff
required ,although theappropriations were entered inChapter 100 .
TheCommission wishes tomake thefollowing transfers tofinance the
opening ofthis delegation .
2.Opening oftheCommission Delegation inNew Delhi
After theagreement between theCommunity andIndia onthe status ofthe
delegation wassigned on23January ,apreparatory mission went to
Hew Delhi atthe end ofMarch toassess the accommodation situation there#
While itwaspossible todraw upfairly precise estimates forcertain
budget headings ,inother cases this was not soand the ori ;r>t)
appropriations (based onprevious experience andcalculated forsixmonths )
should beallowed tostand .
Itshould benoted that most oftheequipment ,installations andmachines
will have tobeimported into India andwill therefore becomparatively
expensive .Although local unskilled labour ischeap ,skilled staff ,who
aregenerally employed bylocal subsidiaries offoreign firms ,aremuch
more highly paid .
