Cn 15 June 1973 Italy and Yugoslavia concluded a bilateral agreement under
which Italian fishermen are entitled to fish in the Yugoslavi zone of the
Adriatic subject to compensation being paid to Yugoslavia.           In its
resolution of 3 November 197& "the Council recognised the need to preserve
by " appropriate Community agreements" rights acquired by Community
fishermen in non–Community waters .         On the same occasion the Council
took a decision authorizing the extension until 31 December 1977 srt the
latest of the bilateral fishing agreement between Italy and Yugoslavia
pending the conclusion of a fishing agreement between that country and
t h e C ominunity •
With this in mind the Commission asked in the course of 1977 that the
Community and Yugoslavia should enter into negotiations with, a view to
concluding a fishing agreement .        It has turned out , however , that
Yugoslavia – in a desire to discuss this matter in a wider setting – is
not yet prepared to enter into negotiations for the purpose of conclud5_ng
a fishing agreement with the Community as such G
Any break in relations between Yugoslavia and Italy in this field, would cause
serious problems for the fishermen concerned®          The Council has extended
the bilateral .fishing arrangements between Italy and Yugoslavia several -times .
The Council last decided on 19 December 1978 "to authorize Italy to extend
the bilateral fishing agreement with Yugoslavia until 30 June 1979®
In the absence of progress in negotiations between the Community and
Yugoslavia a further extension cf the existing agreement up to 31 December 1979
i s e nvi s aged .
Under the agreement in force Italy paid 570 million lire in each of the
financial years 197^ and 1977 »       The payment of this sum was agreed upon
between Italy       Yugoslavia in return for the admission of 100 trawlers
into Yugoslav waters .    The cost is therefore approximately 71 250 lire
per tonne®
After deducting the portion of the expenditure «*• about 2'jfo – to be paid by
the owners , the amount to be paid by Italy and reimbursed by the Coramuriity
on the basis of the above figures is approximately 420 000 EUA per annum®
An increase in. the expenditure is expected in 1979 ? however , although
negotiations on the matter between Italy and Yugoslavia had not been
concluded when this proposal for a transfer was prepared .
An appropriation of 600 000 EUA, intended to cover this expenditure for the
whole of financial year 1 979 * >ra-s entered in Chapter 100 cf the budget
( Provisional appropriations ). Transfer of this sum from Chapter 100 to
the budget entry concerned ( Article 89O – Reimbursements in respect of
certain financial obligations relating to fishing in the Adriatic ) is
consequently requested .

The following points are made clears
( a)  The request for a -transfer is "being put forward now in order that the
expenditure relating to the first half of 1979 may "be settled rapidly as
soon as the relevant negotiations are concluded .
( b ) The request for a transfer covers expenditure for the whole of
financial year 1979 in order as much as possible to limit resort to the
transfer procedure which is "burdensome for all Community institutions *
(c)   It is clear t furthermore , that the Commission will be able to use the
appropriation to assist Italy only in compliance with the conditions to be
laid down "by the Council in the decision relating to the extension of the
existing agreement#
