Transfer No 38/78                                                     SUA
From Chapter 100 – Provisional appropriations
To Chapter 39     – Other expenditure on specific projects
                    undertaken by the institution                  2 000 000
 Article 390      – Research projects in the field of
                    technology and industry
 Pursuant to the provisions of Article 21(4 ) of the Financial Regulation,
 the Financial Controller has approved this proposal , attesting that
 the appropriations are available at 31 October 1978 .

Explanatory memorandum .
                            t
( a)   Legal and operational aspects
 On 30 June 1977 , the Commission sent the Council a proposal on Community
 intervention to encourage innovation in firms, particularly smalt~and
 medium–sized, firms, in the context of Community cooperation.
Upon receipt of this proposal , the Council asked the Commission to
 investigate the matter in greater detail in the light of experience
 gained in indirect action, in ECSC operations and in the hydrocarbons
 sector .
 ( b ) Budgetary £°sition__
 A non–differentiated appropriation of 2 million EUA has been earmarked
 for this measure and entered in Chapter 100 of the 1978 Budget .
  It is unlikely that the appropriation will be committed in 1978 , as
 the procedure is not sufficiently advanced.
  On the other hand, as there is no new appropriation entered in the 1979
  Budget for this measure , arrangements must be made to carry over the
  1978 appropriations into 1979 *   However, because of legal uncertainty
. about whether appropriations can be carried over from Chapter 100, it
  would only appear possible to carry over into 1979 "the appropriations
  entered in Chapter 100 of the 1978 Budget if the appropriation   has
  previously been allocated to its specific budget heading for 1978
  ( Article 390 in this case ).
  In order therefore to avoid cancellation of the 2 000 000 EUA entered
  in Chapter 100 for " Research projects in the field of technology and
  industry", the Commission asks that the request to transfer these
  appropriations be examined as soon as possible so that it can be
  approved by the Budgetary Authority before the end of 1978 and so that
  the appropriation can then be carried over into 1979 *
