GROUNDS
The system of differentiated appropriations introduced in 1977 in that
part of the Budget devoted to the Social Fund , including Chapter 52 ,
makes it possible to enter into commitments for operations which will
continue into the following financial years against the appropriations
for commitment of the current financial year .       This system offers the
advantage that financing for nrultiannual operations can now be
guaranteed to promoters from the outset .                x
Under the former system of non-differentiated appropriations , which
operated until the end of the 1976 financial year , it was not possible
to use the appropriations in Chapter 52 to enter into commitments
beyond the current year .
The appropriations , for both commitments and payments , authorized for
1976 stood at 1 million u.a .      For 1977 , despite the new prospects ,
the appropriations for commitment have been increased to 1 100 000 u.a .,
and those for payments to 440 000 u.a .
The percentage difference between the appropriations for commitment in
Chapter 52 (pilot schemes and preparatory studies ) and those in
Chapters 50 and. 51 ( expenditure provided for under Articles 4 and 5 of
the basic decision) therefore dropped considerably between 1976 and
1977 , as is shown in this table :
                A                      Β
           Chapter 52       Chapters 50 and 51       A as a % of B
1976     1 000 000 u.a .      440 000 000 u.a .          0.23
1977     1 100 000 u.a .      616 000 000 u.a .          0.18
In fact , projects already accepted under the 1977 Budget account for a
total of 1 061 847*2 u.a . in Chapter 52 and to this should be added
the cost - 38 000 u.a. – of a project still to be put forward for the
Commission 's approval .   The 1977 appropriation for commitment would
thus be entirely used up (1 099 847*2 u.a. out of 1 100 000 u.a.).
But the Commission is still receiving applications for assistance – the
list is given in annex – for an amount of 199 635 u.a . which it feels
should be admitted as pilot schemes .      The Commission therefore requests
that appropriations in Chapter 52 be increased by transferring from
Chapter $0 :
  appropriations for commitment of 200 000 u.a .
  appropriations for payment of 100 000 u.a .
to be paid according to the following timetable :
      1977               1978                1979
  100 000 u.a .       70 000 u.a .       30 000 u.a

It is true that this transfer would slightly reduce the amounts
originally intended for Social Fund operations .   It is important
to remember , however , that in accordance with Article 70 ) of
Council Regulation ( EEC) NO 2396/71 of 8 November 1971 j implementing
the Council Decision of 1 February 1971 on the reform of the European
Social Fund , the cut will be recouped later by the contribution which
these schemes will make to the Social Fund by the improved use and
great efficacity of the aids which it supplies .
