                            Proposal for
                      COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
          laying down general rules for the supply of butteroil
          to the Catholic Relief Service for distribution to
          certain sections of the population of Chile under the
          1977 food aid programme .
          ( submitted to the Council by the Commission)
  COM(77 ) 212 final
 ---pagebreak---  EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 1 . The Catholic Relief Service ( CRS) 1 has submitted requesisto the Community
 for emergency food aid for certain sections of the population of Chile ,
 involving in all :
 30 100 t of cereals ,
    6 000 t of skimmed-milk powder .
   4 000 t of butteroil ,
 to be delivered to the port of unloading.
 On the basis of these requests , the Community has already decided to supply
 15 000 t of cereals as food aid tinder the 1977 programme and in this
 Communication the Commission is proposing aid in the form of skimmed-milk
powder and butteroil .      The aid would be intended for the most vulnerable
sections of the population ( approximately 430 000 people ).     It would be
sufficient to provide them with food for twelve months , except in the case
of certain people benefiting tinder the "Pood for Work'' projects and recipients
in holiday camps , and would enable previous programmes carried out largely
with food aid from the EEC to be continued .
2.     In view of the extent of the needs , and given that the aid would be of
a strictly humanitarian nature since it is exclusively intended for feeding
vulnerable sections of the population of Chile under projects run jointly
by the Catholic Relief Service and Caritas-Chile , the Commission considers
that it would he appropriate to respond favourably to the Catholic Relief
Service 's requests for food aid in the form of milk products .
«1
   Under pre–1977 programmes the Community . decided on two occasions to supply
   emergency food aid to this organization for its aid operations in Chile ,
   the quantities involved being :
   13 000 t of cereals ,
       500 t of skimmed-milk powder ,
       400 t of butteroil .
   The value of this aid was 2.7 million u.a.
   Furthermore , 705 t of skimmed–milk powder was allocated to this organization
   in the context of food aid for NGOs under the 1976 programme ( Council Decision
   of 14 February 1977 ).    This aid was worth 0.5 million u.a.
 ---pagebreak--- As regards quantities , the Commission proposes in this Communication that
2 000 t of butteroil and 3 000 t of skimmed-milk powder he supplied in
response to the CRS request ( these quantities representing approximately six
months' consumption for 430 000 people ).    It should "be noted that the
Commission has recently proposed that an additional 3 000 t of skimmed-milk powder
be allocated to the CRS under the second instalment (45 000 t ) of the 1977
milk programme'1 .
3.    The proposed aid would be charged as follows :
                                                                   2
as regards the 2 000 t of butteroil , against the 1977 programme ;
as regards the 3 000 t of skimmed-milk powder , against the reserve under
the 1976 programme^.
4.    The cost of this operation , which oan be estimated at 3»41 million u.a.
( at world prices ) does not involve the Community in any expenditure in
addition to that already envisaged for carrying out the 1976 and 1977
programmes^. With the addition of the 15 000 t of cereals (value 1.71
million u.a.) and 3 000 t of skimmed-milk powder (value 1.33 million u.a.)
allocated under the second instalment of the 1977 milk programme , total
                              ν
expenditure would therefore be 6.45 million u.a. , whioh is double the amount
allocated in the two preceding years .
 'See Commission Communication to the Council concerning the 1977 skimmed-milk
  powder and butteroil food aid programmes -( COM(77) 161 final ).
O
  Fixed at 45 000 t , the distribution of which is the subjeot of a recent
  Commission proposal to the Council–( C0M(77)l6l final ).
^4 599 t available at present , of which 160 t earmarked for the UNECR
