Justification
On 15 June 1973 Italy and Yugoslavia concluded a bilateral agreement
under which Italian fishermen have the right to fish in the Yugoslav
sector of the Adriatic in return for financial consideration .
I11 it s Resolution of 3 November 1976 the Coxtncil recognized the need
to s . feguard the rights acquired by Community fishermen in the waters
of ncn–member countries by means of appropriate Community agreements .
The Council also adopted a decision authorizing the bilateral fishing
agreement between Italy and Yugoslavia to be extended to 31 December 1977
pending the conclusion of a fishing agreement between Yugoslavia and
the Community .
With this aim in mind the Commission requested in 1977 "that the
Community initiate negotiations with Yugoslavia for a fishing agreement .
Yugoslavia , however , did not wish at that stage to open negotiations
for a fishing agreement with the Community as such because it wanted
the matter to be discussed within a broader framework .    Any breakdown in
relations between Yugoslavia and Italy on this issue would create
serious problems for the fishermen concerned .
The Council therefore decided on 20 December 1977 "to authorize Italy
to extend the bilateral fishing agreement with Yugoslavia to 30 June 1978 .
Under the terms of this authorization Italy will pay "the fee for the
fishing rights and will then be reimbursed by the Community ( after
approximately 20^ – which is to be paid by the shipowners - has been
deducted from the total costs ).
 ---pagebreak--- This expenditure was incorporated into ths Budget by the Second
Amending and Supplementary Budget for 1978 ,      Chapter 47
( Assumption "by the European Community of certain financial obligations )
and Article 470 ( Refunds arising cut of certain financial obligations
in respect of fishing in the Adriatic ) being created and allotted
215 000 EUA .
In view of the lack of progress in the negotiations , the Council
again authorized Italy on 21 June 1978 to extend the "bilateral
agreement for a further six months up to 31 BeceEibsr 1978 . This
transfer will provide the appropriations needed to cover the costs
of extending the agreement .
Under the existing agreement Italy paid Lit 570 million in 1976 and 1977®
This fee was agreed upon by Italy and Yugoslavia for access by 100
trawlers to Yugoslav waters . The average cost is approximately
Lit 71 250 per tonne . Under the terms of the Council Decision the
arrangement between Italy and Yugoslavia will continue under the same
conditions . The amount to be paid for the last half of this year will
therefore be Lit 285 million ( 268 300 EUA)S this will be paid by
Italy ; Bofo thereof will be rsinfoursed "by the Community , the remainder
being borne by the shipowners .
The appropriation to ta entered in the Eudgefc , which will "be made
available "by this proposed transfer , is thus 214 640 SUA , rounded
up to 215 000 EUA *
