The Financial Controller endorsed this proposal , thereby certifying
that the appropriations are available on 25 October 1979 *
 ---pagebreak---                                       REASONS
1.    On 31 October 1978, the Commission sent to the Council a proposal for a
Council Regulation on^ Community aid for industrial restructuring and
conversion operations .                -
The Commission's proposals have since been reflected in the 1978 and 1979
Community Budgets .         *
In order to make use of the 1978 Budget appropriations , which will lapse if
they are not translated into commitments and payments before 31 December 1 979 »
the Commission has decided on an ad hoc solution which will result , very soon,
in financial aid to part of the textiles industry which is in a state of
crisis , in particular the man-made fibres industry.
To continue the course of action begun with the 1978 appropriations , the
Commission has decided to ask the Budgetary Authority to approve the transfer
to the headings concerned of the appropriations in Chapter 100 of the
1979 . Budget for Community aid for industrial restructuring and conversion
operations.                       ' •
2. Chapter 100 ( Provisional appropriations ) of the 1979 Budget contains a
provision of 20 m EUA appropriations for commitment and 10m EUA appropriations
for payment common to Item 3750 ( Measures on behalf of certain industrial
sectors in crisis ) and Article 512 ( Consequences of industrial conversion).
The fact that this is a common provision is indicative of the link, wished for
by the Community between the industrial restructuring measures and the
measures to mitigate their social effects .                            -
The Commission is therefore presenting the transfer requests relating to this
common provision jointly:
                                \
( a) transfer to Item 3750 ( 15 m EUA appropriations for commitment and
      7.5 m EUA appropriations for payment ),
( b ) transfer to Article 512 (5 m EUA appropriations for commitment and
      2.5 m EUA appropriations for payment ).
               ;
This breakdown, which the Budgetary Authority has left to the Commission's
discretion, is based on the prospects with regard to Community intervention
under the two headings in question.           ■
3 . As regards the utilization of the 1979 appropriations transferred to
Item 3750, the Commission will take into account the experience gained from
using the 1978 appropriations and the outcome of the discussion on the
proposal for a Regulation.
4• As regards Article 512/ the proposal which the Commission intends to
make on this subject will not be ready in time for expenditure to be
contemplated in 1 979 •    However, the Commission proposes that the
appropriations be transferred to the appropriate heading so that they do not
lapse at the end of the financial year.
