      The Financial Controller approved this proposal on 23 July 19°2 in
      accordance with Articles 93(1 ) and 94(1 ) of the Financial Regulation
      and certified that the appropriations are available *
 ---pagebreak--- Grounds
When the preliminary draft budget fox* 1982 was drawn up , the Commission
proposed payment appropriations of 1 700 000 ECU for Item 7346 – Safety
of water–cooled thermal reactors .    This sum was based on the
activities planned for 1982 and , more particularly , on the large amounts
committed in previous years and still needing to be paid .
The amount was finally reduced by 600 000 ECU in the budgetary procedure
and the 1982 budget carries only 1 100 000 ECU in payment appropriations
for this item.
However , the estimates have proved correct and the appropriations have
now been exhausted .    The Commission still has the following legal
commitments up to the end of 1982 :
   Invoices pending                             260 397  ECU (4   invoices )
   Payments in progress                         160 970  ECU (9   contracts )
   Contractual advances due                     136 308  ECU (2   contracts )
   Invoices expected by the end of 1982         386 023  ECU ( 12 invoices )
                                       Total
                                       ssseae
                                                943 698 ECU
                                                asasesasasts
Since payment of some of the invoices expected could be deferred to 1983 ,
the Commission urgently requires 600 000 ECU .
The item in Chapter 73 with the largest safety margin in payment
appropriations is Item 7368 – Biology and health jrotection - with
9 468 000 ECU in the 1982 budget and carryovers of 4 930 000 ECU .
These appropriations are being utilized at a normal rate (40% of all
the payment appropriations available had been spent by the end of June );
nevertheless , it can be expected that around 1 million ECU will remain
available at the end of the year so that 0.6 million ECU , i.e. 4% of the
total , can be transferred to Item 7346 to overcome the difficulties .
The following transfer is therefore proposed to enable the Commission to
fulfil its contractual obligations :
from Item 7368 :  Biology and health protection (radiation protection) –
                  Indirect action
to Item 7346 :    Safety of water-cooled thermal reactors –
                  Indirect action
            600 000 ECU in payaient appropriations
