 ---pagebreak---                                   GROUNDS
Article 97 of the Financial Regulation requires the Commission to charge
payments made under the EA.GGF Guarantee Section to the Community budget
within two months following receipt of the statements forwarded by
paying agencies and services .
To meet these obligations the Commission is proposing the following
transfers between Chapters , in accordance with Chapter 101 of the
Financial Regulation, on the basis of the information received from the
Member States .
A. CHAPTER 16 - PRODUCTS OF THE WIUB-GROWIHG SECTOR          (+ 100 million ECU)
The appropriation available for this sector for 1982 amounts to
416 million ECU. As expenditure for the first seven months of the year
amounts to 374*5 million ECU and the estimates for the next three months
amount to 69.3 million ECU , the appropriations in Chapter 1 6 are clearly
inadequate .
The entries for which allocations need to be inoreased ares
Article 160 - Refunds on products of the wine-growing sector
Item 1610 - Intervention storage of wine and grape must
Item 1611 - Distillation of wine .
1.     Reftmds : + 5 million ECU
Council Regulation Wo 2009/81 extended the range of products eligible for
refunds and Commission Regulation No 842/82 added new destinations . As a
result of these new provisions exports can be expected to rise by 10 to
15$, which means that 5 million ECU will be needed to cover an additional
500 000 hi .
2.     Storage : + 15 million ECU
A 15$ increase in the appropriation is required because :
  ( i ) the volume of wine covered by aid for restorage is heavier than
        expected (8 million hi instead of 4 million hi ), requiring
        6 million ECU ;
( ii ) distillation is behind schedule , which means that average storage
        periods are longer than expected ( an additional 2*5 million hi ,
        requiring 9 million ECU).
3.     Distillation:    + 80 million ECU
There are three main reasons why additional funds are required :
  ( i ) The initial appropriation was calculated on the assumption that
        half the expenditure , i.e. roughly 80 000 000 ECU , incurred by
 ---pagebreak---                                                - 2 -
           guaranteed-performance distillation operations ( Reg . No 2964 / 81 )
           would be paid under the 1981 budget after an aid advance scheme
           was introduced . For the same reason the 1981 appropriations were
           swelled by an additional 80 000 000 ECU, which was not used .
           In the end , distillation involved only 7 million hi , and not
           9 million hi as expected , but the expenditure was met by the
           Member States in 1982 , which raises the appropriation required
           for this year by some 60 million ECU;
  ( ii )   substantial arrears in payments relating to earlier distillations
           are now being made up ;
( iii )    the arrangements for paying distillation aid introduced by
           Council Regulation No 701 / 82 organizing special distillation to
           improve a particularly depressed market , particularly in Italy,
           has meant that the expenditure involved has been defrayed more
           quickly than usual .
B.     CHAPTER 28 - MONETARY COMPENSATORY AMOUNTS (+ 115 million ECU)
       Item 2811 - MCAs on exports paid by exporting Member States ( with an
                      appreciated currency )
The appropriations available in Chapter 28 of the 1982 budget amount to
275 million ECU . Expenditure for the first seven months was 226.1 million ECU
and estimates for the next three months stand at 110 million ECU .
The allocation for Chapter 28 clearly needs to be increased .
The need for this , and for the changes to be made to appropriations within
the Chapter , arises both from the unknown factors inherent in this sector and from
the spate of monetary adjustments since the budget was established .
These adjustments involved frequent changes in the exchange rates for
agriculture and thus for the MCAs ( Council Regulations Nos 2923/ 81 , 3388 / 81 ,
794 / 82 , 1051 / 82 , 1154 / 82 , 1207 / 82 and 1668 / 82 ).
On the basis of information available and of the present monetary situation ,
expenditure on MCAs for 1982 can be estimated at 390 million ECU, an increase
of 115 million ECU over the original budget .
The attached table shows the detailed estimate by Item of Chapter 28 and by
currency .
On the basis of Article 101 of the Financial Regulation the Commission will
have to make the necessary transfers within Chapter 28, pursuant to Article 97 .

  C.   CHAPTER 20 - MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS (- 215 million ECU )
       Item 2000 - Refunds
I
  It is proposed to increase the appropriations of Chapters 16 and 28,
• as indicated above , by transfer from Chapter 20, Item 2000
» ( Refunds for milk and milk products ), which has appropriations of
  2 098 million ECU .   Expenditure for the first seven months amounts to
  753 million ECU and the estimates for the next three months are
  402 million ECU .   The appropriations still available under that
  Item may therefore be used for Chapters 16 and 28 .
  The reason for the surplus is that refund rates are lower than
  initially envisaged and exports are below forecast .
  It will be remembered that on 31 August the Commission proposed to
  transfer 44 828 million ECU from Item 2000 to other Titles of the
  budget ( transfer No 30 / 82 ).
