GROUNDS 
1. Since no decision  has been reached on a multiannual  measure,  the 
Council has adopted a regulation  every year sinoe  1978 on an 
interim common measure  for restructuring the inshore  fishing 
industry and aquaculture. 
Each of these regulations provided,  in respect of the  financial 
year for which it was adopted,  for a number of measures  constituting 
a common measure  within the  meaning  of Article  6(1) of  Council 
Regulation (EEC)  No 729/70,  aocompanied  by an estimate  of the  total 
annual oost (see  the remarks to Article  460 in the Commission  budget 
for 1983). 
2. The latest of these interim regulations is  dated  21 December  1982 
(Regulation (EEC)  »0 31/83,  OJ L  5, 7*1 .1983)  and relates to 1982. 
Article  7 states that  the total cost of the measures  is estimated, 
for guidance  purposes  only, at  30 million  ECU; Article  ^ states that 
applications  for assistance  must reach the Commission  by 1 February 
and that & decision  will be taken no later than 31 July  I983. 
3o To oover the cost  of this operation  in  1983 all the  25 million ECU 
in commitment  appropriations entered  in  1982 remain available  under 
the heading.  Another  27 million ECU in  commitment  appropriations 
is entered in Chapter  100 in the  1983 budget.  Accordingly, 
5 million ECU has to be  transferred  from Chapter  100 to Article  46O 
to oover the estimated  requirements  of 30 million ECU in commitment 
appropriations for  1983« 
As regards  payment  appropriations,  the Commission  is assuming  that 
the appropriations entered in the  1 983 budget  (23 million  ECU) will 
be sufficient  to cover requirements  for  1983.
