 1 . Under Article 6(4 ) of Regulation (EEC ) NO . 729/70 , common measures
      have priority in the use of credits allocated to the Guidance Section
      of the E.A.G.G.F.  The residue must "be used to finance individual
     projects as provided for in Regulation No . 17/64/EEC .
     By way of derogation from the above-mentioned rule , part of the
      credits of the Guidance Section has "been placed in a reserve to ensure
      the future financing of common measures .              On 31 December 1974 this re­
      serve amounted to 525»999'664 u.a .
2 . Implementation of some common measures , and particularly of the
     Directives aimed at reforming agriculture , is slow and , consequently ,
      expenditure by the Guidance Section in this area is small .
        I                                                                      • '      .
     The reserve is large enough to meet foreseeable expenditure in the next
      few years given the amounts which are available each year .
3 . Applications for aid for individual projects submitted under Regulation
     No . 17/64/EEC continue to increase . For 1 97 5 1 842 applications for
     aid amounting to 360 million u.a . wero submitted .              To these must be added
     225 projects to be oarried forward , for which aid of 06 million u.a .
     has been requested . This makes a total of 1,067 applications for aid
     totalling 454 million u.a . for 1 975 *
4 » Judging- by the applications submitted by Member States to the Commission ,
     the credits provided for in Chapters 81 , 02 , 84 and 09 of the 1974
     Budget for special measures and joint schemes will not be totally used up .
 ---pagebreak---  The following table outlines this situation of the credits .

The examination of applications for 1974 was completed in July 1975 in
