η
andwill enable UNICEPtohelp meet thefood needs of250000children in

A. REQUESTS RECEIVED
1.TheVietnamese authorities have begun avast programme toresettle in
their original villages andintheareas ofneweconomic activity five
million people who ,because ofthewar ,hadtaken refuge intowns or
neighbouring countries .Itisestimated that this year thenumber
involved intheresettlement programme will besome 2.5million andthe
priority problem remains thefood supply until thenext harvest atthe
endof1976 forthepeople ingreatest need .These number approximately
1.4million .
Since they areunable tohelp meet theneeds ofthese people ,the
Vietnamese authorities have turned tothe International Committee ofthe
Red Cross andtheOffice oftheUnited Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees .These bodies channelled Community aidin1975 andhave now
requested food aidfrom theCommunity .
2.UNICEF ,which also channelled Community aidin1975 »hasrequested
aidfrom theCommunity foritsprogramme ofassistance inNorthern
Vietnam .
C
B. REQUIREMENTS
1.Therequirements fortheprogramme toresettle displaced persons fire
considerable inview oftheneed tofeed 1.4million .Thetotal cereals
requirement for 1976 is205000 tand .thelocal authorities have requested
theUNHCR andICRC toparticipate intheir assistance programme by
supplying thefollowing quantities :
UNHCR :6000 tofwheat flour
3000 tofrice
1800tofskimmed milk powder

(These quantities will "beused tofeed 250000children inthenorth part
ofVietnam .Details ofthjLsprogramme aregiveninAnnex I*
C. COMMISSION PROPOSAL
1,Total volume ofaid
TheCommission feels that Community food aidtoVietnam this year should
becomparable invalue tolast year 'sfigure ofapproximately 6million u.a*
(seeAnnex II).
Asaresult andinview ofthedifficulty inproviding foraquantity of
cereals greater than 15000 t-given thelevel ofthereserves under the
1976 programme -theCommission oonsiders that theCommunity could supply
emergenoy food aid ,tobssupplied cif ,intheform of:
15000 tofcereals
2500 tofskimmed milk powder
.1200 tofbutteroil .
These quantities represent ,attheworld prices used fortheestablishment
ofthe1976 food aidbudget ,avalue (transport costs included )of
approximately 5*9million u.a .(seeFinancial Annex ).
2•Allocation amongthe organizations
The Commission feels that there should beabalanced allocation -interms
ofvalue -between the -three organizations .This means :
(a)fortheICRC :
10000 tofcoreáis
500 tofBkimmed milk powder
representing avalue of1.9million u.a.(seeFinancial Annex ))
(b)fortheUNHCR :
5000 tofcereals '
300 tofskimmed milk powder
600 tofbutteroil
representing avalue of1.9million u.a*(seeFinanoial Annex )|

-3-
(c)forUNICEF :
1J00 tofskimmed ,milk powder
600 tofbutteroil
representing avalue of2,0million u.a.(seeFinancial Annex ).
3•Charging ofthequantities tothevarious programmes
Thecereals vrould becounted against thereserve ofthe1975/76programme •.
Oftheskimmed milk powder .1800 twould becounted against thereserve
2ofthe1975 programme and700tagainst thereserve ofthe1976 programme
fixed at3730t(afirst instalment of55000twill shortly bedecided
onbytheCouncil ).
Thebutteroil would becounted against thereserve ofthe1975programme ^.
1
CONCLUSION
Itistherefore proposed that theCouncil :
(1)approve thefollowing quantities ofemergency food aid ,tobesupplied
cifports ofunloading ,fordisplaced persons inVietnam :
10000tofcereals and500tofskimmed milk powder viatheICRC ;
5000tofcereals ,300tofskimmed milk powder and600tof
butteroil viatheUNHCR ;
1700tofskimmed milk powder and600tofbutteroil viaUNICEF .
(2)andadopt theacts annexed hereto .
Under which there^provision forareserve of75000t(12000tused to

2
Under which there isstill areserve of2250t,ofwhich 106tarealready
earmarked formeasures toaidTimor (100t)andthepeople oftheLake Kivu
region (6t);itseems reasonable nottoexhaust theavailable reserve ,so
that itwill still bepossible tomeet anyunforeseen emergencies which
