PART II 

COMMENT OF THE COMMISSION ON THE AMENDMENT OF PARLIAMENT 
WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTED BY THE COMMISISON 

1.  During its  meeting of  24 May 1989 the European Parliament, 
in its second  reading  of  the  Common  Position  on FLAIR, 
adopted the attached Amendment. 

2.  Although  the  Commission  recognises  in  principle,  the 
opportunity to specify in  research programme  decisions the 
relationship between the term "amount deemed necessary", the 
budgetary  procedure  and  the  institutional  agreement  on 
budgetary discipline  it considers untimely the introduction 
of such a new provision for  proposals already  submitted as 
this could delay the adoption of the programmes concerned.
