Chapter 5° of the Budget covers the specific Community regional
development measures financed by the 5% of the Regional Development Fund
allocated to the non-qi;.ct& section ..     Since 1973 the appropriations
earmarked for these measures have been entered in the snnual budgets , as
laid down by Article 2 of the Regulation establishing a European Regions,!
Development Fund "*    Appropriations for commitment aacnnting to
29 050 000 EuA ware entered in 197'3 S followed by 45 13 KJA i:.i 1979 snd.
58 250 000 EO A ia 1980 .
The appropriations for commitment are valid for two years £.       Accordingly 5
in order to save the 29 050 000 EUA which had been set aside for measures
in the non-quota section in 1978 from cancellation due to non–implementation
at the end of 1979 p the appropriations were used for measures in the quota
section in 1979 on the understanding that a compensatory payment of
29 050 000 EUA would be made as soon as there appeared to be reasonable
prospects of the appropriations being consultted from the nc-n–quota section*
In the meantime these prospects have taken a clearer shape ? the Regulations
on the initial measures to be taken in the non-quota section , as put
forward by the Commission on 15 October 1979 ? are due to be formally
adopted by the Council in October ..
However , the timetable set for the implementation of these measures will not
allow the Commission to commit the appropriations entered in. Chapter 56
between now and the end of 1980 »       Consequently y the Commission once again
proposes to transfer the expropriations entered in Chapter 56 to Chapter 55
so that they can be used for quota section measures covered by that
chapter©    Appropriations for commitment amounting to 45 & KJA and
appropriations for payment totalling' 16 m SU.4 are to be transferred -.
The budgetary authority is requested to authorize the proposed transfer
and accept s in principle , the subsequent transfer of appropriations for
commitment amounting to 45 m J«JA from Chapter 55 to Chapter 56 s in
addition to the 29 050 000 EUA already approved , as soon ae those
appropriations can be put to good use <,
The basic aim of these measures is to ensure maximum flexibility in the
utilisation of the Fundus resources for the 1978-8O period , as agreed in
January 1979 following the series of conciliation meetings on regional policy*
