ofExpenditure relating toresearch andinvestment activities forthe1976
financial year (Annex IofSection III "Commissi on'L^of thebudget ofthe
European Community )

totheCouncil ,with aview toincreasing theweighting applicable tothe ear­
nings oftheofficials andtemporary andauxiliary staff working inItaly ,fron
the176.6 points applicable atthetine to185»2points ,i«.e0by4.8%ofthe

2.Themethod ofcalculating theapprobations entered onArticle 1.10.1 "Staff
expenditure -JRC"isbased ontheassumption that anyincrease inthe earnings
ofofficials resulting from Council Decisions taken in1976 should becovered
from thereserve entered inChapter 9-30 oftheStatement ofExpenditure relating
toresearch andinvestment activities forthe 1976 financial year .
However ,asthe amounts which theCouncil decided on17November 1975 and
29June 1976 toadjust theweightings were lower than those used incalculating
(1)DocCOM (76)568 final
(2)Itwill beremembered that the staff and installations ofthe Essor reactor
(Ispraa were made available totheItalian Government under Article 6(c)
oftheEuratom Ureaty •72o570 u.a .
45484u.a .

2.
thebudget appropriations concerned ,theCommission wasable toabsorb pome
ofthe financial outlay arising out oft^e decision .This meant that ,by
drawing ontheappropriations entered under Chapter 9-30 ,theCommission
was able for some time toput off submitting tothebudgetary authority a
request for atransfer ofappropriations aimed atproviding additional
funds under Article 1.10.1
However ,theadditional requirements arising out ofthe latest increase
inweightings forItaly exceed theappropriations available .Atransfer of
fimds from Chapter 9*30 istherefore essential .
3.Given thereasons set out above ,theCouncil iarequested totake the
following decision :
(a)Inthe "Statement ofExpenditure relating toresearch andinvestment
activities (Annex I,Section III -Commission -,ofthebudget ofthe
European Communities )"totransfer :
