GROUNDS
A
On27October 1980 ,"theCouncil adopted .Regulations (EEC)Nos2743/80
and2744/80^toimplement theagreement ontheUnited Kingdom contribution
tothebudget oftheCommunities reached attheCouncil meeting (Foreign
Affairs )on29and30May .Thefirst Regulation amended Regulation (EEC)
No1172/76^setting upafinancial mechanism andthesecond established
supplementary measures infavour oftheUnited Kingdom .Appropriations
of469000000ECU forthefinancial mechanism and855000000ECU forthe
supplementary measures were included inthe 1981 budget tocover the
1980 financial year .1981 budget tocover 1980 financial year provides
that Greece also would notcontribute tothis expenditure .
However ,thewaythebudget isfinanced means that anychange in
expenditure gives rise toachange inthe financial contributions tobe .
paid byGreece ,which must therefore becompensated inrespect ofthe
expenditure mentioned above .Under Article 127 ofthe Act ofAccession
of28May1979 »70foofGreece 'scontribution hasalready been repaid and
on19November theCommission submitted adraft Council Regulation to
provide alegal basis fortherepayment oftheremaining 30%.Inits
opinion delivered on 16December ,Parliament considered that there wasno
need toprovide alegal basis since ,asthese repayments could beadded
tothose already made under Article 127oftheActofAccession ,the
budget itself provided thebasis .Ittherefore invited theCommission to
withdraw itsproposal .TheCommission did notdosoandtheCouncil ,which
agreed that alegal basis wasrequired ,adopted Regulation (EEC)No284/814
on20January .
Thebudgetary authority entered anappropriation of6540000ECU to
cover this repayment inChapter 100ofthe 1981budget andmade atoken
entry under Article 491 (Compensatory repayments toGreece ).Toallow
theCommission tomake these repayments ,thesummust betransferred to
theArticle .Article 2oftheRegulation states that thefirst repayment
must bemade inApril 1981 .
Initspreliminary draft amending andsupplementary budget No 1for198O ,
theCommission stated that itwould make thenecessary proposals toadjust
theappropriations entered inthe 1981 budget when thefinal cost ofthe
supplementary measures fortheUnited Kingdom for198O wasknown .This
adjustment would also give rise toanadjustment inthecompensatory
repayments due toGreece .Aproposal toamend theamount ofthe
appropriations under Article 491will beinoluded intheabovementioned
proposals andwill besubmitted tothebudgetary authority atasuitable
point during the 1981 financial year .
