A4-0050/98Resolution on the draft Financial Regulation applicable to development finance cooperation under the Fourth ACP-EEC Convention amended by the Agreement of 4 November 1995 (COM(96)0676 - C4-0101/97 - 96/0307(CNS))The European Parliament- having regard to the Commission draft (COM(96)0676 - 96/0307(CNS) ((OJ C 63, 28.2.1997, p. 11.)),- having been consulted by the Council (C4-0101/97),- having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the opinions of the Committee on Budgets and the Committee on Development and Cooperation (A4-0050/98),A. whereas the European Court of Justice has ruled that EDF expenditure cannot be considered expenditure of the European Community and therefore subject to the legal and institutional framework of the EC Treaty,B. whereas the European Court of Justice has consequently ruled that consultation by Council of the European Parliament on Financial Regulations for the European Development Funds is optional,C. whereas no progress of any sort has been made towards the budgetisation of the European Development Funds since Parliament's refusal of discharge for the EDFs in 1996,D. whereas the Commission indicates in the explanatory statement to its draft financial regulation for the eighth EDF that there is no requirement for Council to receive the opinion of the European Parliament before adopting it,E. whereas there is no legal requirement for Parliament to legitimise the budgetary arrangements for the EDFs by adopting an opinion on the draft financial regulation for the eighth EDF,1. Refuses to give an opinion on the draft financial regulation for the eighth European Development Fund presented by the Commission;2. Emphasises its full commitment to the development and cooperation policies of the European Union and that the position taken in this resolution need have no adverse consequences for the implementation of those policies and is aimed, in the longer term, at improving the legal, institutional and budgetary framework within which they operate;3. Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and the Commission.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 of
28 October 1996 introducing a Community aid scheme

No 1169/97 of 26 June 1997 laying down detailed rules
for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2202/
96 introducing a Community aid scheme for producers of
certain citrus fruits (2) specifies that producer organisa-
tions may submit applications, by product and delivery
period, for advances on the aid in respect of oranges,
mandarins, clementines, satsumas and lemons delivered
for processing under contracts; whereas paragraph 2 of
that Article specifies that the advance is to be equal to
70 % of the aid set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC)
No 2202/96; whereas paragraph 5 of that Article states
that where there is a risk of an overrun in the processing
thresholds fixed in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2202/
96, that percentage may be reduced;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 22(1) of Regulation (EC) No
1169/97, the Member States have notified the Commis-
sion of the quantities, broken down by delivery period, of
lemons covered by contracts for the 1997/98 marketing
year; whereas, in the light of those data and of processed
quantities on which aid was paid during the 1995/96 and

1996/97 marketing years, there is a risk of an overrun in
the processing thresholds for those products; whereas the
advance on the aid for the 1997/98 marketing year
should accordingly be reduced;

Whereas, in accordance with Article 23(2)(c) of the above-
mentioned Regulation, the advance on the aid for lemons
may not be paid before 1 March 1998; whereas this Regu-
lation should apply from that date;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
