  I. Commission Regulation (EEC) N° 3184/83 on the operation of the system
     of advances in respect of expenditure financed by the EAGGF Guarantee
     Fund provides for the Member States to submit to the Commission a
       monthly statement of expenditure by the 20th day of the following
     month, that is, in the case of expenditure in December, by 20 January.
     However, in the case of expenditure on storage, corrections may be
     sent to the Commission up to 20 February.
     In the light of those statements the Commission is now proposing a
     series of transfers from chapter to chapter pursuant to Article 101(1)
     of the Financial Regulation.
 II.  Expenditure in 1983 was very high throughout the year.      In order to
     hold expenditure within the limit set by supplementary and amending
     budget N° 2/83, the Commission adopted a series of measures, the main
     one being the suspension of advances for refunds and premiums.        At
     the end    of the year there remained some 30 million ECU in unused ap­
     propriations .
     The attached transfers involve 403,8 million ECU, or 2.5 % of esti­
     mated expenditure.     They are adjusting transfers designed to permit
     commitment and charging as a payment as provided for by Article 97
     of the Financial Regulation.       They constitute the final adjustment
     to appropriations for 1983 to take account of expenditure declared
     by the paying agencies of the Member States.
III. PROPOSED TRANSFERS
      1. Transfers to reduce appropriations are proposed for the chapters
          of cereals and rice, sugar, olive oil, textile plants and silkworms,
          products of the wine-growing sector, tobacco, milk and milk pro­
          ducts, other sectors of agricultural products, pigmeat and COM in
          fishery products.
          1.1. Chapter 10 - Cereals and rice
               The lower expenditure in the sector is due to the fact that
               carryover payments for marketing year 1982/83 were lower than
               those forecast.
 ---pagebreak---                               - 2 -
1.2. Chapter 11 - Sugar
      The lower expenditure in the sector is due to the fact that
      payments for refunds were lower than forecast since exports
      to third countries proved to be lower than those expected.
1.3. Chapter 12 - Olive oil
      A reinforcement of this chapter was effected in November 1983
      to cover the supplementary expenditure expected for the con­
      sumption aid.    However, expenditure has been lower than that
      expected due to the fact that the effect of the suspension
      of advances, decided by the Commission in October, proved to
      be stronger than that forecast.
      Moreover, the receipts realized as a result of the difference
      between selling and intervention prices from the product sold
      out of public storage were actually higher than those forecast.
1.4. Chapter 14 - Textile plants and silkworms
      The lower expenditure in the sector is due to a slight reduc­
      tion of the area expected to be cultivated with hemp and also
      to the fact that private storage has not taken place at all.
1.5. Chapter 16 - Products of the wine-growing sector
      A reinforcement of this chapter was effected in November 1983
      to cover the supplementary expenditure expected for certain
      intervention operations.      However, final expenditure in the
      sector has been lower than that expected, mainly due to the
      fact that the effect of the suspension of advances proved to
      be stronger than that forecast.
1.6. Chapter 17 - Tobacco
      A reinforcement of this chapter was effected in November 1983
      to cover the supplementary expenditure expected after the rec­
      tification of the figures for the quantities produced for crop
      year 1982. However, this increase has been neutralised by the
      effect of the suspension of advances on payments for crop
        year 1983, which proved to be stronger than that forecast.
 1.7. Chapter 18 - Other sectors of agricultural products
      The lower expenditure in the sector is due to the fact that
       the quantities benefitting from the aid were actually lower
       than those forecast.
 1.8. Chapter 20 - Milk and milk products
       Savings have been realized in the sector as a result of the
       suspension of advances for exports and aids, the application
       from 1.12.83 of the new regulation 3184/83 altering the method
       of declaring 2nd category expenditure, and also the restric­
       tion of advances paid to Member states. The lower expenditure
 ---pagebreak---                                - 3 -
      therefore, is due mainly to these reasons.since they had as a result
      that the quantities offered into intervention, and also these bene-
      fitting from the different aids were lower than those forecast.
1.9.  Chapter 23 - Pigmeat
      The lower expenditure in the sector is due to the fact that both quan­
      tities exported and these benefitting from the aids for private storage
      were actually lower than those forecast.
1-10. Chapter 40 - COM in fishery products
      The lower expenditure in the sector is mainly due to the fact that expen­
      diture on refunds was lower than initially estimated, due-to the decision
      taken by the Commission to fixe at zero the rate of refunds from 1.11.83.
      Moreover, expenditure on intervention was lower, since the market situa­
      tion in the sector proved to be better than that forecast.
2.    Transfers to increase appropriations are proposed for the chapters of
      oil seeds and protein plants,fruits and vegetables, beef and veal, sheep-
      meat and goatmeat and monetary compensatory amounts.
2.1.  Chapter 13 — Oil seeds and protein plants
      Although a reinforcement of this chapter was effected under the supple­
      mentary and amending budget N° 2/83, due to an expected increase in pro­
      duction in the sector, a supplementary credit is however necessary, since
      the actual increase in production proved to be more important than that
      forecast..
2.2.  Chapter 15 - Fruits and vegetables
      The reinforcement of this chapter, effected under the supplementary and
      amending budget N° 2/83, has not finally proved sufficient, and a supple­
      mentary credit is necessary to cover the higher expenditure actually rea­
      lised for the compensation for withdrawals and buying-in and for proces­
      sing and free distribution operations.
      Moreover, for the tomato-based products, payments in relation to market­
      ing year 1983/84 have already realized for more than 20% of the produc­
      tion, compared to 10% of the same period of the previous year.
2.3.  Chapter 21 - Beef and veal
      The supplementary credit for this chapter is due to the fact that the
      increases of both the quantities exported and the offers into interven­
      tion were actually higher than those forecast.
2.4.  Chapter 22 - Sheepmeat and goatmeat
      A reinforcement of this chapter is necessary, since a fall in market
      prices for sheepmeat, notably in the United Kingdom, provoked an increase
      in payments for premiums more important than those forecast.
2.5.  Chapter 28 - Monetary Compensatory Amounts
      The supplementary credit for this chapter is due to an increase in the
      volume of intra-Community trade, more important than that forecast.
