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), as amended by Decision 82/892/EEC (2), and in particular Article 1 (2) thereof,

Whereas, under Article 1 (2) of Decision 78/640/EEC, Community financial participation in respect of Ireland is fixed at a maximum of 46 000 000 ECU for the period 1 January 1977 to 31 December 1984;

Whereas the programme submitted by Ireland for surveillance of the maritime waters falling within its jurisdiction, which includes the provisional expenditure estimate for medium-term and short-term measures, was verified by the Commission, which decided on 15 May 1979 that the said expenditure was eligible;

Whereas the application submitted by the Irish authorities pursuant to point 6 of the Annex to Decision 78/640/EEC covers, on the one hand, expenditure incurred during the period 1 January to 31 December 1982 which amounted to £ Irl 10 176 000 and, on the other hand, an advance of £ Irl 2 500 000 concerning forecast expenditure in 1983 totalling £ Irl 7 290 000;

Whereas, the remaining amount of £ Irl 8 026 000 of this reimbursement should be paid in accordance with Article 1 (2) of Decision 78/640/EEC, now the supplementary budget has been adopted;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
