1.1  CHAPTER 54 :  SPECIAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE ECSG FOR SOCIAL MEASURES IN
                   CONNECTION WITH THE RESTRUCTURING OF THE STEEL INDUSTRY
    Article 540 :  Special contribution to the ECSC* for social measures in
                   connection with the restructuring of the steel industry
    Sum to be carried forward :   62 million ECU
    At its 717th meeting on 24 June 19^1 » the Council agreed to implement
    social measures in connection with the restructuring of the steel
    industry ( early retirement and short–time working) . The Council noted
    that in the Commission 's view , 112 million ECU would have to be found
    in the 1981 financial year , and 100 million ECU over the period
    1982–I9S4 , to meet aid applications submitted by the Member States .
    On 7 December 1981 the Council decided to grant the ECSC a first
    instalment of 50 million ECU for 1981 , to be paid in the form of
    national contributions . The remaining 62 million ECU for 1981 is
    provided in Article 540 of Supplementary and Amending Budget No 2/81 ,
    adopted on 21 December 1981 .
    Tne Commission had also asked the Council , most recently on
    1 October 1981 ( SG(8l)D/l26l9) , to adopt the necessary decision
    under Article 235 EEC "to transfer the appropriations concerned from
    the general budget to the ECSC . Since this decision was not taken
    during the 1Q81 financial year , it has not been possible to commit
    the 62 million ECU .
    Tne decision should be taken as early a.s possible in 1982 . Meanwhile ,
    the Commission requests the budgetary authority to approve the
    carryover to the 1982 financial year of the appropriation of
    62 million ECU entered in Chapter 54 - of the 19ol budget , Under the
    new nomenclature of the 1982 budget , this corresponds to Chapter 65 .
 ---pagebreak--- 1.2  CHAPTER 58 :    SUPPLEMENTARY MEASURES IIT FAVOUR OP THE UNITED KIiTGDOlA
     Article $80 :   Supplementary measures in favoar o f the Ur.dter' Kina^orn
     Sura to be carried forward :  150 million ECU
     Article 5(2 ) of Council Regulation (EEC) E g 2^A4/QO of 27 October 1930
     establishing supplementary measures in favour of the United Kingdom*
     specifies that " at the request of the United Kingdom , the Council ,
     acting by qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission , may
     decide each year to make advance payments enabling implementation
     of the supplementary measures to be speeded up . In this case ,
     the Commission shall initiate the necessary budgetary procedures".
     In I98O the Council decided to make advance payments totalling
     193.5 million ECU . An appropriation of 159 million ECU was
     entered in Chapter 100 of the 1981 budget to cover advance
     payments and the appropriation of 1     654»2 million ECU entered in
     the 1982 budget ( Chapter 53) allows for this ( in other vjords , the
     150 million ECU is not included).
     The Commission , at the request of the United Kingdom :
     - proposed on 5 November 1931 that this appropriation be transferred
        from Chapter 100 to Chapter 58 ( Supplementary measures in favour
        of the United Kingdom) ;
     – submitted a proposal to the Council on 20 November 1981 for a decision
        authorizing it to make an advance of the same amount to the
        United Kingdom in I98I ( COM(8l)68l final ).
     The proposed transfer was deemed to have been approved on 21 December 1981 ,
     but the decision to make the advance was not taken. Consequently , the
     appropriation of 150 million ECU has not been utilized .
     If the United Kingdom 's net contribution in 1981 is to be reduced by
     1 410 million ECU , in line with the Council 's conclusions of 30 May 1981
     and Regulation ( EEC) No 2744/80 , the appropriation of 150 million ECU
     should be carried over to the 1982 financial year . Under the new
     nomenclature of the 1982 budget , the corresponding Chapter is

    The co-responsibility levy applicable in the milk and milk products
    sector , pursuant to Regulation ( EEC ) Ho 1079/77 * produced
    479 million ECU in revenue in 198l «    Expenditure relating to market
    development measures (Article 4 of the Regulation) came to
    117 million ECU in the same budgetary year#
    These measures axe carried cat under contract . Payments are made
    as contracts are completed and are therefore spread over a number of
    years .
    When the budget is being established , an estimate is made of the
    payments to be made during the financial year under the different levy
    utilization programmes .   Part of the funds not utilized for market
    development measures in 19Si will be utilized in 1932 (the 1982 budget
    contains appropriations for this purpose ) and 1983®
    At present , however , part of the proceeds of the I98I levy ( about
    100 million ECU) is not covered by market development- programmes o It
    is proposed that this sum be carried forward to 1932 and used to fund
    measures for reducing public stocks of skimmed milk powder .
    The details will be worked out in consultation with the dairy industry .
    In its resolution of 19 November I98I on draft Supplementary and
    Amending Budget Ho 2/81 , Parliament requested that appropriations
    not utilized in 1981 be carried over to the 1982 financial year , to
    finance measures to reduce production and promote sales ,,

         favourable terms , i.e. 15$ below the world price .
                                 î
         Three "tranches " of this type of aid have been approved : the
         first in December 1930 , the second in .April I9BI and the third
         at the beginnirjg of October 1981,9
         The bulk of the food involved was delivered in 198lj but the
         segment undelivered on 31 ^December 1981 will mean an unforeseen
         change on the 19 82 budget .         Appropriations available at
         the end of the I98I financial year must therefore be carried over .
         The cost of outstanding deliveries to be made in 1982 , including
         the normal export refund plus the affect of the 1$% rebate , is estimated as
         follows :
