    Council Regulation No 357/79 *
3 . Justification
    The amount allocated in the 1979 budget for carrying out the survey in Italy
    was not used because the survey was postponed.                              -
4 . Estimated cost and financing                                            ...
    The appropriations in the budget for statistical studies and surveys (Article 264)
    - surveys on wine-growing areas - were split between 1979 (l 000 000 EIJA ) and
    1980 (2 500 000 EUA ).
    It is requested that the amount allocated for Italy and not used in 1979
    ( 595 000 EU$ should be re-inserted into the 1981 budget .
