  A new set of contracts for printing the Official Journal of the European
  Communities came into operation on 1 January this year .
  Bearing in mind that on 1 January I98I the Official Journal will have
  to be printed, in seven languages , the contracts provide for five different
  lots , which vary according to the severity of the constraints flowing
  from the specific nature of certain publications .     Account is also taken
  of substantial technical developments of recent times , particularly the
  now general application of photosetting . electronic printing and new
  computer techniques .    In addition extra languages can also be taken
  in *   Lastly , since the market has thus been split up , the role of
  competition has been enhanced to the maximum .
  It was stipulated that proper technical equipment must be used, since this
  provides the best assurance possible regarding quality and timing ; it
  also means that a series of by-products from the setting of the Official
  Journal can be provided, such as computer tape for CELEX, catalogues ,
  microfiches , and text retrieval ( standing type ).
  These technical developments , which provide a most useful extension to
  potential capacity, have pushed prices up somewhat t quite apart from
  the increase in wages and salaries .     The average increase is around
  25%.
  On top of this , there is additional expenditure for printing the 1979
  Official Journal , the cost of which increased, in the last few months of
  the year as provided in the contracts .     The new prices were not known
  until the invoices arrived in March this year .
  It has al30 turned out to be more expensive than planned to have the
  secondary legislation printed in Greek .     The aggregate change is an
  increase by about ^ 1%.
  Lastly , the Commission has decided to publish in the Official Journal
  the E forms used for social security of migrant workers .     They were
  last published in OJ , Mo L 363 on 30 December 1973 , but they have been
  amended since then .
  The attached table sets out the pattern of foreseeable expenditure .
                    0
• To cover the expenditure arising in 1930, the Commission proposes that
  the budgetary authority authorize the transfer to Article 270 of
  3 233 000 EUA from Chapter 101 ( contingency reserve ).
