It is proposed that 22 million ECU of the appropriations in Item 6200
( Refunds on milk and milk products ) in the EAGGF Guarantee Section"- still
available as a result of the rise in world prices - be transferred to
Article 810 ( Modernization of farms ) ( 13 million ECU ) and to Item 8312
( Non-marketing of milk and milk products ) (9 million ECU ) in the
EAGGF Guidance Section .
The appropriations available for 1981 under these two headings in the
Guidance Section have proved insufficient for the reasons stated below .
With regard to Article 810 , . applications for refunds in 1981 have now
been presented by the Member States .    These show that an additional
13 million ECU will be needed in both commitment and payment appropriations :
this problem had already been raised during the discussions . on
Amending Budget No I /198I , which increased these appropriations by
20 million ECU .  The high demand for appropriations in I98I shows that
the farm modernization programme , after a relatively slow start , is now
maintaining the brisk pace set " in I98O .
There are three main reasons for the sharp increase over I98O :
( a ) the need to use I98I appropriations to meet applications for repayments
unpaid in. I98O due to lack of funds ( 8.5 million ECU );
(b ) a 50 ( instead of 25^) rate of repayment of expenditure incurred
in I98O in modernizing farms in the poor areas of the West of Ireland ;
( c ) a large increase in the number of modernization schemes funded in
the United Kingdom .
With regard to Item 8312 , expenditure up to 31 December 1981 , taking
account of the rate of utilization of appropriations at 30 September ,
is estimated at 106 million ECU .    This means the 84 million ECU carried
over and entered in the budget are 22 million ECU . short of requirements ;
13 million ECU of this has already been provided by a transfer within
Chapter 83 to finance the advances for October and November . The
remaining 9 million ECU covered by this transfer proposal is intended
to finance expenditure up to 31 December ,
It should , however , be noted that expenditure on this scheme -. for the
non-marketing of milk and milk products – funded jointly by the
Guarantee Section ( 60% ) and the Guidance Section ( 4C$ ) of the EAGGF -
will be within the initial estimates . The shortage of appropriations
in Item 8312 is due to the assumption made when the budget was drawn
up that a sizable sum would be carried over in Item 8312 :      this did not
in fact ha.ppen , This means that the appropriations available for I98I ^
in Items 6240 ( Guarantee Section ) and 8312 ( Guidance Section ) do not
reflect the ratio of 60:40 between the Guarantee Section and the 1
Guidance Section laid down in the rules . The transfer which is requested
would also have the effect of restoring that ratio .
