II.CHAPTER 30-EXPENDITURE INTHESOCIAL SECTOR
Article 306-Action tocombat poverty
Sumtobecarried forward !40000u.a .
Explanation
Under Article 7oftheCouncil Decision of22July 1975 (75/458/EEC)
alltheprojects forming part oftheprogramme ofpilot schemes and
studies tocombat poverty should have been approved tytheCommission
by1July 1976 *However ,three projects were withdrawn very late .
Asaresult thesubstitute Iproposals could notbedrawn upandapproved
intime .
Because ofthewithdrawal ofthese projects andthedelays instarting
several other projects ,notalltheappropriations available for1976
could beused .
Twoofthethree projects withdrawn were forLuxembourg andthethird
forGlasgow ,UK.TheCommission hadalready approved thetwoprojects
forLuxembourg .TheUKproject waswithdrawn when itwas examined by
the Commission .
TheCommission nowproposes tosupport twoother projects inLuxembourg
andtheUnited Kingdom .TheCommunity will cover thewhole cost of
astudy tobeconducted inLuxembourg ,and50$ofthecost ofaresearch
project intheUnited Kingdom .
Itshould benoted that theprojects oonsidered inthecontext ofthe
draft Deoision onthepoverty control programme were putforward more
bywayofexample than asactual proposals .Itwasalso understood that
alltheappropriations entered intheBudget would beused .This request
foracarry-over ofappropriations istherefore inkeeping with the
spirit ofArticle 7oftheCouncil Deoision .Themain aimofthis Article

-3-
istoensure that there will benoexpansion ofthepoverty control
programme inthefirst twoyears such ascould lead totheCommunity 's
making afinancial commitment exceeding theappropriations provided
forintheBudgets forthese twofinancial years *Thetwonewprojects
arethus toberegarded asreplacing part oftheoriginal programme
rather than asanexpansion ofthis programme .
Theoosts ofthese twoprojeots in1977 areestimated asfollows *
Thenoi>*automatic carry-over ofanappropriation of44000u.a.is

'Article ^21-Other pro.ieot sInIndustry
.item 3211-Research projects inthedata ^-prooeasing sector
Rumtobecarried forward –562400u.a .
Explanation
Theappropriations forthis operation were notunblocked bytheCouncil
until 22July 1976 ,when thecorresponding transfer wasapproved .The
Counoil approved only part oftheprogramme proposed bytheCommission .
Thefollowing steps hadtobetaken before these appropriations oould be
used :
_several committees provided forintheCounoil Deoision hadtobe
appointed ;
–theproject directors hadtobecarefully selected ;their recruitment
wasoompleted bytheendofDeoember ;
–thefirst task oftheproject directors wastodefine indetail the
specifications oftheir projects ,which wasneoessary before the
oontractB could beawarded andtheappropriations oommitted ;
–toaward these contraots ,aoall-for-tenders procedure hadtobe
arranged ,andthis could notbedone until January 1977 *
These four factors explain whytheappropriations entered under Item 3211
could notbecommitted in1976 .
The1977 appropriations under Item 3700 ,corresponding inthenewnomenclature
toItem 3211 ofthe1976 Budget ,will notbesufficient tofinance allthe
operations planned for1977 *These appropriations total 560000u.a .and ,
when theBudget wasdrawn up,represented only thesecond half ofthe
implementation ofoperations provided forintheCouncil Decision ,asthe
first half wastohave been implemented in1976 .Thedelay instarting these
operations will mean that almost thewhole programme will becarried outin
1977 *TheCommission therefore needs this year both theappropriations
entered under Item 3700 ofthe1977 Budget andtheappropriations carried
over from Item 3211 ofthe1976 Budget .
Anappropriation of64O000u.a .entered under Chapter 100ofthe1977 Budget
isintended fortransfer tothepart oftheprogramme originally proposed oythe

Item 3221-Joint projects Inconnection with prospecting forhydrocarbons
Stunto "becarried forward I945000u.a .
Explanation
Aspart oftheestablishment ofacommon energy policy ,theCommission
submitted totheCouncil on29November 1974 aproposal fora
Regulation concerning support tocommon projects forhydrocarbons
exploration (OJNoC18,25January 1975f P*3)«
Atitsmeeting of26June 1975 theCouncil opted forsupport ,inan
initial stage ,foralimited programme ofresearch inawell-defined
field .ItsResolution made itneoessary toamend thedraft Regulation
proposed bytheCommission andtodefine thefield ofresearch .
Thework ofamending thedraft regulation continued within theCouncil
bodies throughout 1976 without leading toanyappreciable results ,while the
Commission ,incollaboration with theindustrial sectors involved ,
managed todefine theaimofthefuture researoh work :thestratigraphio
study ofthedeep sedimentary basins intheNorth Sea.This researoh
should ,however ,bepreceded tyasurvey ofthemost suitable geographical
areas .
Thebudgetary authority entered anappropriation ofonemillion u.a .
into the1976 Budget tocover expenditure onlaunching these operations *
I
After waiting invain foraCounoil decision ontheRegulation ,the
Commission decided on22December 1976 tousetheappropriation entered
into theBudget forthestudy and ,taking account ofthemining laws in
foroe ,theselection ofthegeographical areas most suitable forthe
hydrooarbon exploration projects tobeoarried outwith theCommunity 's

finanoial support *Nomore than 55000u.a .could becommitted before
theendof1976 *
Anon-automatic carry-over ishereby requested fortheremaining 945000u«a .
This sumwill cover thepurohase ofthegeophysio aldata whioh are
indispensable ifthestudy istobesuccessful .
Thebudgetary authority hasdeoided toenter appropriations forcommitment
totalling 25000000u.a .into the1977 Budget inorder tofinance
support measures forCommunity oilcompanies forhydrocarbon exploration
projeota inthemost promising areas oftheNorth Sea .
