GROUNDS
Anew set ofcontracts for printing the Official Journal ofthe European
Communities came into operation on1January this year .
Bearing inmind that on1January I98I theOfficial Journal will have
tobeprinted ,inseven languages ,thecontracts provide forfive different
lots ,which vary according totheseverity oftheconstraints flowing
from the specific nature ofcertain publications .Account isalso taken
ofsubstantial technical developments ofrecent times ,particularly the
nowgeneral application ofphotosetting .electronic printing andnew
computer techniques . Inaddition extra languages canalso betaken
in*Lastly ,since themarket hasthus been split up,therole of
competition hasbeen enhanced tothe maximum .
Itwasstipulated that proper technical equipment must beused ,since this
provides thebest assurance possible regarding quality andtiming ;it
also means that aseries ofby-products from the setting oftheOfficial
Journal canbeprovided ,such ascomputer tape forCELEX ,catalogues ,
microfiches ,andtext retrieval (standing type ).
These technical developments ,which provide amost useful extension to
potential capacity ,have pushed prices upsomewhat tquite apart from
the increase inwages and salaries .The average increase isaround
25% .
Ontop ofthis ,there isadditional expenditure forprinting the 1979
Official Journal ,thecost ofwhich increased ,inthelast fewmonths of
theyear asprovided inthe contracts .Thenew prices were notknown
until the invoices arrived inMarch this year .
Ithas al30 turned outtobemore expensive than planned tohave the
secondary legislation printed inGreek .The aggregate change isan
increase byabout ^1%.
Lastly ,theCommission hasdecided topublish intheOfficial Journal
the Eforms used for social security ofmigrant workers .They were
last published inOJ ,MoL363 on30December 1973 ,butthey have been
amended since then .
The attached table sets outthe pattern offoreseeable expenditure .

•Tocover theexpenditure arising in1930 ,theCommission proposes that
thebudgetary authority authorize thetransfer toArticle 270 of
3233000EUAfrom Chapter 101 (contingency reserve ).
