INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
Following Parliament's rejection of draft supplementary and amending
budget No 1/1982 it is the Commission's duty to present to the budgetary authority
new proposals to give effect to the Council conclusions of 30 May 1980
and 26 October 1982, bearing in mind the reasons which prompted Parliament
to reject this budget.
The Commission is alive to the concern expressed by Parliament and to its
desire to see the ad hoc solutions of recent years replaced by a
permanent arrangement for strengthening Community policies and will
accordingly be presenting proposals in the near future for developing
these policies and for introducing a more diversified system of own
resources. The Commission feels that this preliminary draft supplementary
budget is a first step towards a Community solution to the budgetary
problems which made the preliminary draft necessary.
Having made these proposals, the Commission expects the other Community
institutions to take the appropriate decisions as soon as possible so that
the budget problems will thus be resolved. It takes the view that these
decisions will have to be applied in such a way that no transitional measures
will need to be taken.
                             x              *
 In the meantime, 692 million ECU of the 1.092 million ECU contained in the
 1983 budget for supplementary measures to compensate the United Kingdom
 will be utilized in accordance with Regulation (EEC) ...... in the form
 of financial aid towards certain types of investment by the British
 public authorities and for certain projects which will serve the
 interests of the United Kingdom's socio-economic development and
 Community integration.
 The remaining 400 million ECU will be used for special measures of
 Community interest under the energy strategy introduced in
 Regulation (EEC) ....

In accordance with the Council's conclusions of 26 October 1982, smother
210 million ECU will he alloo&ted for special measures in Germany provided
for in the same Regulation.
Although non-differentiated appropriations are not ideally suited for
the implementation of energy measures, the Commission is proposing that
these new appropriations requested for the speoial measures in the United
Kingdom and Germany should not he differentiated in view of the
undertakings inherent in the Council's conclusions of 26 October 1982 and
the very nature of the planned operations.
The Commission is also proposing the allocation of 35 million ECU for
various energy measures (coal, new sources of energy, energy— saving
programme and promotion of energy investment).
Finally, the Commission is also proposing that a new entry — Article 6 17 -
he made in the statement of revenue to accommodate repayments of any
excess provisional payments made to a Member State under the supplementary
measures in favour of the United Kingdom or the special measures of
Community interest under the energy strategy once the exact amounts due
have been determined. It should he noted that the conclusions of the
Foreign Ministers of 26 October stated that the adjustments to he made
fer 198O and 1981 on the basis of actual figures would he taken into
account when the subsequent solution was negotiated.
The Commission is also proposing an amendment to the heading of Item 6150
so that it can accommodate any repayment of aid not used under the
supplement ary measures in favour of the United Kingdom and the special
measures of Community interest under the energy strategy. A token entry
will he made in both these oases.

The conversion raies to be used, for charging "to the budget
1.092 million ECU in respect of operations in favour of the United
Kingdom and 210 million ECU in respect of operations in favour of
Germany (provided for in Articles 530 and 707) are those of
December 1982.
The Commission’s proposals in this preliminary draft amending budget
will increase the volume of expenditure in the 1983 budget by
 1.337*370 million ECU.   The Commission is proposing that this
expenditure be financed by the budget surplus from 1981 (661 million ECU)
and by an advance (676 million ECU) on the estimated surplus from 1982.
The Commission feels obliged to propose this approach so that the budgetary
 authority is able, by adopting supplementary and amending budget No 1/83,
 to produce the most objective and accurate instrument of authorization
 and estimate possible on the basis of the financial data known at this
 stage.
                                      *
                                 *         *
 In conclusion, the Commission is proposing that Article 203(9) of the
 EEC Treaty be applied: non-compulsory expenditure increases by
 645 million ECU in appropriations for commitments and appropriations for
 payments.    The total of these appropriations in the 1983 budget should
 therefore be 7.219.671.428 ECU and 5.882.725*428 ECU respectively.

A.  REVENUE
1.  Entry of the balances from 1981 and 1982
The situation should be assessed from the financial and budgetary angle
and from the point of view of the regulations.
1.  Financial and budgetary angle
In order to understand the basic situation arising at financial and
budgetary level at the end of 1982 and beginning of 1983 when the
budgetary authority failed to adopt supplementary and amending budget
No 1/1982, it should be borne in mind that the preliminary draft submitted
by the Commission on 5 November 1982 would have enabled the following
three operations to take places
(a) the financial consequences of the supplementary measures in favour
of the United Kingdom and the special energy programme for Germany
(mainly covered by savings in the EAGGF Guarantee Section) could have
been covered in the statement of expenditure}
(b) the estimates of traditional own resources in the statement of
revenue could have been updated to reflect the actual outturn as
accurately as possible}
(c) an advance on the budget balance from the previous year and the
VAT balance could have been entered in the statement of revenue in
accordance with Article 16(2) of Regulation No 2891/77 and. Article 27
of the Financial Regulation (the VAT balances from 1979 and. 1980 were
also taken into account).
Although new expenditure totalling 1.308 million ECU was proposed in
this preliminary draft supplementary and amending budget, this proposal
would have resulted in additional final expenditure of 163 million ECU
as a result of savings in the EAGGF Guarantee Section and the updating
of the estimates of revenue to take into account the balance for I98 I
and the VAT adjustments for previous financial years. No increase in
the VAT rate would then have been required in 1982 .
 ---pagebreak---                                       13
The fact that the budgetary authority was finally unable to adopt this
supplementary budget had the following four consequences at financial
and budgetary level:
- the new expenditure provided for in the supplementary budget could
not be authorized in 1982 and must therefore be authorized in the 1983
budget;
- although not reflected at budgetary level by an adjustment of the
estimates, the updating of the estimated revenue for 1982 , including
the VAT balance from I98 I and the adjustments to the VAT balances from
1979 and 1980 , was actually included in the accounts for 1982 in
accordance with the appropriate rules;
- the balance of 661,494 million ECU from 198 I - which could not be
taken into account when the 1982 budget was being implemented because
budgetary authorization had not been given - remains available in full
 at the end of the 1982 financial year and is therefore carried over to
1983;
- an advance on the estimated balance from 1982 , arising from
 implementation of the budget for that financial year, is now added to
 the balance from I98 I in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation
No 2891/77. The table on the next page records the main figures behind
 the estimate of 675»^76 million ECU.
 2.  The regulations aspect
 The balance from a financial year is not established definitively for
 accounting purposes until the accounts are finally closed in accordance
 with Article 15 of Regulation No 2891/77; because of the supplementary
 period for the EAGGF Guarantee Section which ends on 31 March of
 year "n+1 ", the final calculation is first contained in the revenue and
 expenditure account which the Commission draws up by 1 June.

B.   EXPENDITURE
1.   Supplementary measures in favour of the United Kingdom
Regulation (EEC) N o 2744/80 of 27 October 1980 establishing supplementary
measures in favour of the United. Kingdom (0J L 284 of 29 October 1980),
which was designed to give effect to the Counoil conclusions of 30 May 1980,
provided for net compensation to be paid to the United Kingdom in order to
limit its contributions to the 1980 and 1981 budgets.
Regulation (EEC) No        /83 (aimending the above regulation and designed
to give effect to the Council conclusions of 26 October 1982) provides
that, out of the total of 1,092 million ECU required to produce net
compensation to the United Kingdom of 850 million ECU, 692 million ECU
shall be devoted to financing new supplementary measures. This amount
is entered in Chapter 53·
This payment, which covers the last of the three years provided for in
the conclusions of 30 May 1980, is charged to the existing Article 530
and classified as compulsory expenditure.
There is a provision that 10$ of the Community’s contribution may only be
paid after the Commission has duly satisfied itself about all aspects of
the projects being carried out.
2.   Energy policy
The Commission has grouped under Article 707 (Special measures of Community
interest under the energy strategy) the budgetary proposals which it had
presented earlier and which were the result of the political undertaikings
 given by the Council on 26 October. It also took account of Parliament’s
comments made when rejecting draft supplementary and amending budget No 1/82.
Hence:
- Expenditure under this airtiole is part of an overall energy strategy
   which includes special measures of Community interest. In addition to
   the 210 million ECU originally earmarked exclusively for Germany, it
   includes 400 million ECU of the total of 1, 092 million ECU to be paid
   under the supplementary measures to the United Kingdom. These special
   measures of Community interest will be the subjeot of a Council
   regulation.
   The total appropriations under this article amount to 610 million ECU.
 ---pagebreak---                                           19
- The Commission proposes that, since a new Community policy is concerned,
  expenditure under Article 707 should he classified as non—compulsory *
  All expenditure in the energy sector, of which this forms part, is
  already so classified.
- In the proposal for a regulation, the methods of financing and inspection
  have been brought into line with the general rules and with the suggestions
  previously made by Parliament. Hence 10$ of the Community contribution
  may be paid only after the Commission has duly satisfied itself about
  all aspects of the projects being carried out.
  The Commission also proposes that supplementary appropriations be entered
  under the following headings:
  7020 - Hew technologies for burning solid fuels and using the residues
          thereof
  7021 - Projects for the liquefaction and gasification of solid fuels
  7031 - Projects concerning geothermal energy
  7032 - Projects concerning solar energy and biomass
  704   - Community energy-saving programme
  and
  705   - Promotion of energy investments.
  The total amount involved is   35 million ECU in commitment and payment
  appropriations.
  These appropriations are required because of the development of operations
   in these sectors and are broken down as follows:
   15 million ECU for Item 7020»
    3 million ECU for Item 7021;
    4 million ECU for Item 7031»
    4 million ECU for Item 7032;
    4 million ECU for Article 704?
    5 million ECU for Article 705·

3.  Correction of an error concerning financial compensation to Member
    States which are not effectively and fully participating in the
    European Monetary System
The compensation to the United Kingdom entered -under Article 820 has
been increased by 366.000 ECU and that for Greece, entered under Article 821
by 4.000 ECU. In both cases this is a result of the revision of the Member
States' VAT bases.
Because of the small inorease in the United Kingdom's share in the Community
base, the amounts payable to the United Kingdom and to Greece to compensate
for their contribution towards financing interest subsidies granted under
the European Monetary System need also be increased.
C.  AMEMDMEMTS TO TEE NOMENCLATURE OF THE STATEMENT OP REVENUE
The Commission has decided to adopt the ideas contained in two of Parliament
amendments (Mbs 3 and 4) to the statement of revenue in draft supplementary
and amending budget Mo ^/ 82.   It has therefore introduced a new heading,
Article 617, to accommodate repayments of any eioess provisional payments
to a Member State under the supplementary measures in favour of the
United Kingdom or the special measures of Community interest under the
energy strategy once the exact amounts due have been determined. It should
be noted that on 26 October 1982 the Foreign Ministers agreed that
corrections in respect of 1980 and 1981 to be made on the basis of actual
figures would be taken into account when the subsequent solution was
negotiated.
The Commission is also proposing an amendment to the heading of Item 6150
so that it can accommodate any repayment of aid not used under the
supplementary measures in favour of the United Kingdom and the special
measures of Community interest under the energy strategy. A token entry
would be made in both cases.
