Article 6(5 ) of Regulation ( EEC ) No 729/70 fixes the amount allot­
ted annually to the EAGGF , Guidance Section . This amount wai
originally fixed at 285 million units of account . Later , it was
increased to 325 million units of account by Regulation ( EEC ) No
2788 /72 in order to meet the . increased needs of the enlarged Com­
munity .              -                                            -
From 1980 onwards , this allotment will not suffice to cover the :
expenditure incurred on measure which are already in force or whirh
are foreseen, even if the surplus appropriations placedon the
reserve in certain previous financial years are taken into account .
In view of . this situation, .the Council asked the Commission at its
516th meeting of 8-12 May 1978 to put forwards a proposal for
amending the amount allotted as soon as possible .
The Commission proposal provides for an annual target amount which
will be ad'justedeach year by the budgetary procedure, so that             \
variations in expenditure, from year to year can be taken into
                                               \
account . In addition, the proposal provides for . a five-year
appropriation ceiling which fixes at 4200 millions of .EUA the total -aid
available for        ..... , .       .    ,    .   ' .    . . x          ,
each five-year period, initially therefore from the period from 1
January 1980 to 31 December 1984 . If the Council has not adopted a
new different decision by the latter date, the same amount will be
available for the following five-year period *              ;
 According to current commitments and forecasts , certain common measures
 currently in vigor shall no longer" require commitment appropriations in
 1984 . Since it can be considered that the Community effort in' socio-
 structural policy * will hot be diminuished globaly, the Commission has
                                •                            \
 estimated, for 1984/ an expenditure , corresponding to the average
 expenditure of the preceding years .               .'                .
