THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Decision 78/640/EEC of 25 July 1978 on financial participation by the Community in inspection and surveillance operations in the maritime waters of Denmark and Ireland (1), and in particular paragraph 6 of the Annex.

Whereas under Article 1 (2) of Decision 78/640/EEC this participation in respect of Ireland is fixed at a maximum of 46 million ECU for the period 1 January 1977 to 31 December 1982;

Whereas the programme submitted by Ireland for surveillance of the maritime waters falling within its jurisdiction, which includes the expenditure estimate for medium and short-term measures, was verified by the Commission, which decided that expenditure totalling 61 127 890 ECU was eligible (2), subject to a review of the final choice of reconnaissance aircraft before the Community financial contribution was paid;

Whereas the application submitted by the Irish authorities covers expenditure incurred during the period 1 January to 31 December 1981 which amounted to £ Irl 83 963;47;

Whereas an amount of £ Irl 2 572;25 is included in this expenditure in respect of activities of a kind which may not be included among measures for which a financial contribution from the Community is foreseen; whereas this amount cannot be considered eligible for reimbursement in accordance with the said Article 1 (2);

Whereas the total net expenditure to be reimbursed to Ireland for the period 1 January to 31 December 1981 therefore amounts to £ Irl 81 391;

Whereas this expenditure should be reimbursed in accordance with the said Article 1 (2);

Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects, and in particular on the financial means available,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
