G R O U N D S
1. The T hird F in a n c ia l P ro to co l w ith  Turkey provides to r the g ra n tin g  of 
220 m illio n  E C U  as loans on s p e c ia l term s. By the end of 1983
108.5 m illio n  E C U  of th is  sum had been paid to the European Investm ent Bank 
( EIB) to  fin an ce  approved p ro je c ts . At the beginning of 1984, the EIB in d ic a te d  
by te le x  th a t i t  would re q u ire  approxim ately 60 m illio n  E C U  d u rin g  the year 
to meet e x is tin g  c o n tra c tu a l o b lig a tio n s .
2. Only 5  m illio n  EC U  are entered in  the 1984 budget fo r th is  purpose.
To th is  may be added a ca rryo ve r of 700 000 ECU, b rin g in g  t o t a l a v a ila b le  
a p p ro p ria tio n s  to  5.7 m illio n  ECU.
3. The EIB is  unable to give exact dates fo r payments d u rin g  the ye a r, but 
i t  has already c a lle d  fo r 9.26 m illio n  E C U  by the end o f March. I t  can be 
assumed th a t the Bank w i l l  re q u ire  approxim ately 20 m illio n  E C U  d u ring  the 
f i r s t  s ix  months o f 1984 to  make payments under c o n tra c ts  already signed 
and being implemented. Delayed payments would pose se rio us le g a l problems 
and je o pa rd ize  com pletion o f p ro je c ts  such as the E lb is ta n  power s ta tio n  
and the Karakaya dam which the Community is  c o -fin a n c in g  w ith  o th e r o utsid e  
in te r e s ts . An i n i t i a l  tra n s fe r of 13.8 m illio n  ECU, b rin g in g  t o t a l 
a p p ro p ria tio n s  a v a ila b le  to  19.5 m illio n  ECU, is  th e re fo re  proposed.
In view of the p a r tic u la r ly  d i f f i c u l t  budgetary s itu a tio n  in  the f i r s t  h a lf 
of the ye a r, the Commission intends to review expenditure under th is  
F in a n cia l P ro to co l at a la te r date so th a t i t  can take whatever budgetary 
measures are necessary to  ensure it s  im plem entation.
The Commission proposes to make the tra n s fe r from Chapter 70 (Energy P o lic y ).
The a p p ro p ria tio n s  concerned were c a rrie d  over and would lapse at the end 
o f the year. In the case of Items 7010 (P rospecting fo r uranium in  the 
Community) and 7021 (P ro je c ts  fo r the liq u e fa c tio n  and g a s ific a tio n  o f s o lid  
f u e ls ) , the a p p ro p ria tio n s  c a rrie d  over exceed estim ated payments, which 
are put at 800 000 E C U  and 2 m illio n  E C U  re s p e c tiv e ly . In the case of 
Item 7020 (New te ch n o lo g ie s fo r burning s o lid  fu e ls  and using the residues 
th e re o f), only 6 m illio n  E C U  o f the 17.5 m illio n  E C U  added by means o f a  
supplem entary budget in 1983 w i l l  be used, le a ving  some 11 m illio n  E C U  a v a ila b le  
fo r tra n s fe r.
The Commission would emphasize th a t i t  is  proposing the tra n s fe r of a p p ro p ria tio n s  
c a rrie d  over p u re ly  because of the p a r tic u la r ly  d i f f i c u l t  budgetary s itu a tio n  
at the beginning o f th is  fin a n c ia l year. I t  regards it s  proposal as an 
e x ce p tio n a l measure and the best s o lu tio n  to a  very d i f f i c u l t  and urgent 
problem .
