  In application of Article 11 of Council Decision 7l /66/£EC ( l ) the CcunissioA
  presented on 8 October 1982 its Opinion to the Council on xho revi w of
  the rules governing the tasks of the European Social Fund ( 2 ). Tne Commission
  proposes that Decision 71/66/EEC should be replaced by a new Decision .
  The present structure of Fund aid is divided into two parts under Articles
  4 and 5 of Decision 7l/66/feEC ; these are in turn divided into nine separate
  fields of intervention .   It is this system which would be replaced by the
  new provisions foreseen in the Commission 's Opinion .
   Four of the five Decisions adopted under Article 4 of Decision 7l/66/feEC
   concern respectively aid to young people under 25 ( 3 ), workers in the
   textile and clothing industries ( 4 )» migrant workers ( 5 ) and women ( 6 ).
   These four Decisions are due to expire on 31 December 1982 , unless
   extended by Council Decision . They are referred to in the second para­
   graph of Article 9 of the draft Decision annex ed to the Commission 's
   Opinion cited above : "The Decision 7l/66/fe:C , as amended by Decision
   77/8OI /EEC , is hereby repealed . However, that Decision and the Decisions
   taken by virtue of Article 4 of that Decision , shall remain in force in
   respect of operations for which applications are submitted before 1 April
   1983".    Irrespective of the outcome of the current review of the Social
   Fund , it will be necessary to extend the effect of these four Decisions
 for a period beyond 31 December 1982 , since the reasons which led the Council
 originally to identify these fields of intervention as in need of Fund support
 during the current severe recession still prevail . Moreover , Fund applicants
 have already submitted their applications for the first half of 1982 on the
 basis of existing rules .    It is therefore proposed that for the four Decisions
 taken by virtue of Article 4 of Decision 71/66 /EEC concerning aid to young
 people under 25 , textile and clothing workers , migrant workers and women , the
 expiry date be repealed .
The Committee of the European Social Fund was consulted before the Commission
presented its Opinion on the review of the Fund , of which this proposal forms
an integral part .
 The European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee are to be
  consulted on the review as such .    However , their consultation on the present
 arrangement is optional .
