COM(83) 195 final. 

GROUNDS 
1. In their conclusions  of 26 October  1982 regarding  compensation  to the 
United Kingdom  for 1982 the Foreign  Ministers  declared  that the Community 
would step up its solidarity  in favour of its less prosperous  members. 
The aim of  this proposed  transfer  is to  finance  additional  Community  projects 
in Greece to the  tune of 10 million ECU as a  demonstration  of solidarity  and, 
more specifically,  to take account  of Greece's  contribution  towards  payments 
made to the  United Kingdom  in 1982 for 1981. The projects  to be financed 
come under the policy for restructuring  Community  agriculture. 
This proposal  replaces  the proposal  the Commission submitted  to the  Council on 
9 July 1981 in the same  context  (1). 
2. The 10 million ECU would be taken from  the reserve of 27 million ECU, or 
22 million  ECU if proposed  transfer  No 4/83 is taken into account,  in Chapter 100 
for EAGGF - Guidance,  Article  460 (Common  measures  to restructure,  modernize 
and develop  the fishing  industry  and to  develop  aquaculture).  The first 
commitments  under the common  measures  covering  the period from 1983 to 1985 
provided  for in the  Council  Resolution  of 25 January  1983 (2) ' wi L-t : not be made 
until 1984.  Consequently,  the 22 million ECU earmarked  for this in Chapter 100 
of the 1983 budget may be  used for a  different  purpose. 
3. This additional  expenditure for Greek  projects  would take  up commitment 
appropriations  under the 1983 budget and would be charged  to the  following 
items of the EAGGF  Guidance  section: 
3014 Marketing  and processing  of agricultural  products  in Greece 6  million ECU 
460 Common  measures  to restructure,  modernize  and develop  the 
fishing industry  and to  develop  aquaculture  4  million ECU 
The budgetary  authority  is therefore  requested  to authorize  the transfer  of 
10 million ECU in  commitment  appropriations  from Chapter  100 to the  items, 
with their respective  amounts, mentioned  in 2. 
4. For the  payment  appropriations,  the Commission  is assuming  that, given 
the time needed  to implement  the planned measures,  the appropriations  available 
will be adequate.
