The Commission is planning six studies : ' ■ - N .

In addition , a film will be made on poverty amongst migrant workers .
These projects will account for about two thirds of the amount requested ;
the remainder will be spent on two seminars :                  -
1.    on research and" pilot schemes of action to combat poverty co–financed
      by the Community ;                                              1
2.    presentation of. the final report on the previous programme at the
    • end of June#                              ^ -
Final detailed rules for implementing this programme will be adopted in .
the coming weeks .      -s       ;
Since the Council Decision of 22 December requires it to implement the
programme by 30 November 1981 , the Commission is proposing that the
transfer be made while the final programme is still being drafted so
that the appropriations will be available immediately they are required .
At present Article 306 of the budget contains only a token entry ;           in
order to carry out the prpgramme the appropriations for commitment of
500 000 ECU entered for this purpose at Chapter 100 will have to be
transferred as soon as possible .                                   '
The above . Council decision already authorizes the Commission to undertake
a more detailed evaluation of the programme by means of studies and
seminars paid for with appropriations for commitment entered in the
1981 budget , up to the amount of approprations for payment still available
A total of 3 970 000 ECU is available in appropriations for payment for
the 1981 financial year , 2 300 000 , being carried over from 1980 and
1 670 000 entered in the 1981 budget .           3 457. 000 ECU will be used to
settle commitments from previous years ;           the 500 000 ECU left over will
cover commitments undertaken in 1981 on the basis of the appropriations
now to be transferred .                                                         .
