1.Since1974,theamountofbutteroil earmarked bytheBudgetAuthority
tobesupplied asfoodaidtodeveloping countries hasremainedstaticat
45000tonnes.Thisrepresents afailuretokeeppacewiththegrowing
demandmanifested bypotential recipient countries .In1979,applications
forthisproducttotalled 149000t,asagainst 92000tin1978.'
Becauseofthis,theCommission wasobligedtorejectalargenumberof:
applications whendrawing upthe1979programme,andtocutbackonthe
quantities granted.
/
InitsPreliminary DraftBudgetfor1979,theCommission hadtherefore
proposedraisingthequantity ofbutteroil from45000tto55000t.
Theincrease wasturneddownbytheBudgetAuthority,andaccordingly the
Commission againrequested anincrease inCommunity butteroil foodaid
to55000taspartofitsagricultural priceproposals forthe1979-80
farmyear.On22June1979,theCouncilofMinisters (Agriculture )gave
itssupporttosuchanincrease,particularly inviewofthepersistent
imbalance onthebuttermarket. -

2.TheCommission 'sviewisthatthissupplementary quantity shouldgo
asamatterofpriority toapplicant countries whoseneedscouldnotbe
satisfactorily takenintoaccountintheallocation ofthefirstinstal­
mentofthe1979programme . -
Theannexedtableisbasedonthiscriterion ,andsetsouttherelevant
dataonthecountries inquestion,itbeingunderstood thatthegeneral
aidallocation criteria remainthoseapplicable tothefirstinstalment
of45000T.
3.Inbudgetary terms,theincrease involves raisingtheappropriation
forfoodaidbyanestimated 13million EUAatworldprices ,or39.1million
EUAatinternalprices.TheCommission ,following thedecision ofthe
Councilonthiscommunication ,willpresenttheappropriate proposals to
theBudgetary Authority .
CONCLUSION
Toarriveatadecision assoonaspossible,asagreedattheCouncil
meetingof22June1979,andtomeetthemostpressing needsofthe
developing countries,theCommission proposes thattheCouncil,bythe
adoption oftheRegulations attached :
-toincreaseto55000T.thequantity ofbutteroil allocation under
