       6 000 metric tons of cereals were allocated to the Rwnndese
Republic under the 1970/71 Food Aid Programme .      The Community bore the
costs of shipment to the place of destination in the recipient country
( Article 2 , para . 2a of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1703/7 2 of 3 August
1972 amending Regulation ( EEC ) No 2052/69 as regards the financing by
the Community of expenditure occasioned by implementation of the 19^7
Food Aid Convention ).
       The Rwandese Government requested that delivery of part of its
allocation be held back and the Council decided to grant other countries
4 500 metric tons from the 6 COO metric tons for 1970/71 , it being
understood that that .-amount would be earmarked for Rwanda in the
1973/7^ Food Aid Programme and that the shipment costs would be borne
in the same manner .
       From the financial point of view this change requires a new decision
by the Community to take over the costs of shipment to the places of des­
tination of the      500 metric tons of cereals allocated to Rwanda under
the 1973/7 ^ Food Aid Programme to replace the corresponding provisions
of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1703/72 .
       The Commission therefore proposes that the Council adopt the
draft Decision annexed hereto .
 ---pagebreak---                             Financial Annex
       The cost of this operation can be estimated at approx . 500.000 uc .
       This will be chargeable to item 9012 in the 197^ budget , which .
currently shows after transfers a balance of 40 Muc , intended to
finance other food aid actions under the 1573/7^ program , to be paid
for in 157 ^ and amounting to kG Muc . As provided during recent budgetary
discussions in the Council , the shortage of credits in 9012 will be covered
by transfer inside chapter 90 ( ch . 92 in 1975 budget ), which is in overall
balance .
