GROUNDS
The system ofdifferentiated appropriations introduced in1977 inthat
part oftheBudget devoted totheSocial Fund ,including Chapter 52,
makes itpossible toenter into commitments foroperations which will
continue into thefollowing financial years against theappropriations
for commitment ofthe current financial year .This system offers the
advantage that financing for nrultiannual operations cannowbe
guaranteed topromoters from theoutset . x
Under theformer system ofnon-differentiated appropriations ,which
operated until theendofthe1976 financial year ,itwasnotpossible
tousetheappropriations inChapter 52toenter into commitments
beyond thecurrent year .
Theappropriations ,forboth commitments andpayments ,authorized for
1976 stood at 1million u.a .For1977 ,despite thenewprospects ,
theappropriations forcommitment have been increased to 1100000u.a.,
andthose forpayments to440 000u.a .
Thepercentage difference between theappropriations forcommitment in
Chapter 52(pilot schemes andpreparatory studies )andthose in
Chapters 50and .51(expenditure provided forunder Articles 4and5of
thebasic decision )therefore dropped considerably between 1976 and
1977 ,asisshown inthis table :
A Β
Chapter 52 Chapters 50and 51 Aasa%ofB
1976 1000 000 u.a . 440 000 000u.a . 0.23
1977 1100 000 u.a . 616 000 000u.a . 0.18
Infact ,projects already accepted under the 1977 Budget account fora
total of1061847*2 u.a .inChapter 52andtothis should beadded
thecost -38000u.a .–ofaproject still tobeputforward forthe
Commission 'sapproval .The 1977 appropriation forcommitment would
thus beentirely used up(1099847*2 u.a.outof1100000u.a.).
ButtheCommission isstill receiving applications forassistance –the
list isgiven inannex –foranamount of199635u.a .which itfeels
should beadmitted aspilot schemes .TheCommission therefore requests
that appropriations inChapter 52beincreased bytransferring from
Chapter $0:
appropriations for commitment of200000u.a .
appropriations forpayment of100000u.a .
tobepaid according tothefollowing timetable :
1977
100 000 u.a .1978
70000u.a .1979
30000u.a
