 ---pagebreak--- In view of th« recerrt trend of the situation in Lebanon the Commission
proposes that the Coinoil approve further emergency food aid for that
country involving a total of 10.28 million u.a.       The proposed aid
measures constitute the Community's response to the request announced
by the Lebanese Government on 7 Ootober 1976 and explained in detail on
19 November during the visit of Mr Tueni , Minister for Sooial Affairs ,
to the Commission.      Mr Tueni gave the Commission an account of the
critical situation facing his oountry and informed it of total present
needs . The measures are also in response to the appeals made by the
Seoretary-General of the. United Nations and the Director-General of FAO,
and to the requests for aid from the World Pood Programme ( WPP) and the
International Committee of the Red Cross ( ICRC ).
The measures would also be in aooordance with the European Parliament 's
Resolution of 15 June 1976 on the situation in Lebanon, which urgently
called "for emergency measures to provide immediate humanitarian aid to
help relieve the suffering of all the viotims in Lebanon"^ and follow on
from the various operations already carried out by the Community in order
to help Lebanon.
The Commission moreover informs the Counoil that , in accordance with
budgetary procedures , it intends to approve the allocation to the ICRC
of finanoial aid amounting to 400 000 u.a. , to be charged against
Article 400 of the 1976 budget , for that organization's assistance
programme in Lebanon ( maintenance costs for the ICRC field hospital ,
purchase of medicinal preparations , surgioal equipment , clothing, blankets ,
etc .). To that end the Commission has already transmitted to the Council
a proposal for a transfer from Chapter 99 "to Chapter 40 ( Article 400) in
order to replenish the latter chapter.
 It should be noted that the following aid measures have already been
 approved in 1976 ( involving a total of 1.1 million u.a. ):
    3 589 t of cereals
      375 t of milk powder ( of which 125 t via the ICRC )
      200 t of butteroil
 100 000 u.a. to the ICRC for the purchase of medioinal preparations and
 surgical equipment .
^OJ No C 159, 12.7.1976, p. 12.
JThe ICRC's finanoial requirements for its four-month assistance programme
Jmi   »/i è  n t   •  s      »
 ( medicinal preparations, clothing, etc .) amount to $«6 million and
 contributions announced to date are estimated at Al.2 million.
 ---pagebreak--- I.  Analysis of requirements and of the requests made to the
    Community
1 . According to the figures supplied by the WTP , food requirements
during the emergency phase work out as follows :
                      86 000 t of cereals
                     ' 3 240 t of oil
                       4 860 t of milk powder .
These figures are based on the assumption that 1 350 000 people
are to be fed for a period of four months , from December 1976 to the
end of March 1 977 •  This is the official estimate , arrived at by
agreement between the local authorities , the ICRC and Caritas , but
it is quite possible that a more detailed study of requirements will
produce other estimates as regards the number of people (which could ,
according to one current estimate , gradually decline from 1 350 000 in
the first month to 300 000 in the fourth month) and the length of time
it will be necessary to feed them (which could exceed four months ).
At this stage the Commission considers that the official estimate
should be followed for the calculation of requirements , but it takes
account in the proposal it is submitting of changes that could shortly
be made in the evaluation of requirements .
At a donor coordination meeting organized by the Secretariat of the
WFP Committee on Food Aid Policies and Programmes on 22 November 1976 ,
a number of countries and organizations announced their intention of
undertaking certain food aid operations .   Consequently , net requirements
now stand at :
                     46 000 t of cereals
                       2 840 t of oil
                       4 120 t of milk powder .
A detailed analysis of the requirements is given in the following
table .

  The above analysis of the requirements must also be considered in the
  light of another very important factor , namely the handling capacity
  of the ports of unloading and the country 's internal transport
  capacity . On the basis of the total quantities required , around
  16 000 t of food products will have to be handled every month .
  According to information supplied by the Government , the port6 of
  Jounieh and Sidon are still operating but can handle only small
  tonnages . The ports of Tripoli and Beirut will soon be working
  again and Beirut should become the main port . The Secretariat of
  the WFP Committee on Food Aid Policies and Programmes is at present
  studying this problem and is to infonn the donors of its conclusions .

1.    The Lebanese Government request
The Government has asked the Community for massive aid in the form
of cereals , milk and butteroil for Lebanon (without specifying
quantities ) and has asked that the quantities it is decided to
grant be delivered cif .
The Government has informed the Commission , moreover , that it will
soon be in a position to take care of distribution of the aid and
that the two existing distribution committees are to merge shortly .
The combined committee will be able to make use of the distribution
channels of the ICRC , Caritas and - to an increasing extent - the
ODS .
2.    The ICRC request
This organization 's programme is designed to provide an additional
ration on top of that provided by the WFP for the people in the
greatest need , and a full ration for other categories of recipients
concentrated    in the Tripoli/Akka area. As^a contribution to this
programme , the ICRC is asking the Community for :
           7 550 "t of wheat ( equivalent to 5 000 t of wheat flour );
              800 t of skimmed-milk powder :
                                  2
           1 600 t of butteroil .
Distribution will take place under the supervision of the ICRC , which
has a relatively large team on the spot ( 65 representatives and 109
local staff ).
1
  In addition to 5 700 t requested from the EEC under the 1977 cereal
  programme .
2
  The request also includes 1 600 t of preserved meat or fish and
  800 t of sugar , which the Community is unable to supply as food aid .

3.   The WFP request
In order to carry out successfully the emergency operation to
help Lebanon decided upon "by the WPP in September 1976 and
recently extended by a decision of the Director-General of FAO ,
the WPP is asking the. Community for 12 500 t of cereals and
470 t of skimmed-milk powder . These products would be shared
out equally between the Jounieh and Sidon areas . Acceptance
and distribution would be carried out by the Office de Developpement
Social (ODS).    The whole operation would be supervised by two
local representatives of the WPP travelling about the country .
II .  The Commission 's proposals
The Commission considers that the Community should indicate ,
by means of a rapidly-taken decision , its resolve to provide
the aid which is indispensable to a country that has suffered
so severely , while taking the necessary precautions to ensure
that the operations are conducted properly in view of the
current uncertainties regarding the country 's requirements , the
handling capacity of the parts of unloading and the distribution
capacity of the local authorities .
The trend of the situation will have to be followed very closely
in the coming weeks , and for this purpose the Commission will
maintain continuous contact with the Lebanese Government and the
relevant international organizations .
The Commission accordingly proposes that the following be decided :
 ---pagebreak---                               - 6 -
( a)  The shipment via international organizations of the following
quantities to be distributed free of charge to those in need :
   20 O5O t of cereals ( of which 12 500 t via the WPP and 7 550 t via
   the ICRC ) ;
   1 270 t^ of skimmed-milk powder (of which 470 t via the WPP and 800 t via
   the ICRC ).
   1 600 t of butteroil (via the ICRC ).
The quantities earmarked for the WPP would be charged against the
reserves set aside for that organization^ under the 197° appropriations .
In accordance with the relevant Council decision the products would be
delivered to the port of loading and a Imp-sum contribution would be
paid to the WPP ( 26 u.a./t for cereals and 80 u.a./t for skimmed-milk
powder ).
As regards the quantities proposed for the ICRC , the 7 550 t of cereals
would be charged against the general reserve under the 1976 cereal
programme3 , the 1 600 t of butteroil against the general reserve under
the 1976 programme4 and the 800 t of skimmed–milk powder against the
special reserve earmarked for the ICRC in the context of the appropriation
for that organization for 19765 .    The products would be delivered free
at destination .
1
  These quantities are in addition to the 575 "t already proposed by the
  Commission for distribution through CaritasJwCC ( COM(7t>)642 final ).
  12 500 t of cereals ( not yet used ) and 7 500 t of skimmed-milk powder
  (2 516 t still available ).
^30 500 t available at present .
^3 619 t available at present .
  1 550 t still available .

(b ) The establishment of a reserve for direct Community aid to
       the Lebanese Government . to be released in full or in part
       by the Commission depending on the trend of the situation ,
       in agreement with the Lebanese Government and in collaboration
       with the relevant international authorities . The reserve
       would cover the following quantities which , when added to the
       quantities of indirect aid provided for under ( a ), would be
       sufficient to meet all the requirements as calculated in the
       table on page 3s
              25 000 t of oereals already proposed by the Commission ,
              but on an indicative basis , in its CoEjununication to the
              Council concerning the 1977 programme :
              1 240 t of butteroil ;
              2 275 t of skimmed milk powder.
       These quantities would be delivered to the frontier of the
       country of destination , and the quantities of skimmed mil£
       powder and butteroil would be charged against the reserves
       under the 1976 programmes . Although the products would
       normally be intended for free distribution , the possibility
       of sale on the local market if circumstances so require
       should not be ruled out .
       All the data concerning the requirements and the Commission 's
       proposals are set out in a summary table in Annex V.
 CQM( 76)546 final .
2 ..
 After this Lebanese operation the 1976 reserves will be as follows :
 5 299 t of skimmed milk powder,
     779 "t of butteroil .
 ---pagebreak--- CONCLUSION
