date: Fri Jun 30 16:24:22 2000 from: Keith Briffa subject: Re: Advance 10K Re-Final payment to: J.Sear@uea.ac.uk Janet , the Gottingen underspend was intended to come to us to cover extra work done here . The Stockholm money, we expected to keep to cover the cost of a publication . I did not know anything about the Finland budget and I do not want to give them anything. However, I am worried that if the money does come here it will just disappear to cover our overspend. Can you hold off for a week on Gottingen ,The Finns , and Stockholm and when I get back from Switzerland , a week Monday , I could come and discuss this with you. The Swedes definitely intended some of the money to go to the special issue of a journal that we are still committed to producing. Also , I have been contacted by Eugene Vaganov (Krasnoyarsk) . He is sending new forms and I think we should just do as the two Russians request. Have we heard from Brussels? The Russians are in real need of the money and we should try to accommodate them. They are sure other INTAS grants are paid as they are suggesting. Can you PLEASE try to push this along. Thanks Keith At 04:10 PM 6/30/00 +0100, you wrote: Dear Keith, I am in the process of distibuting the final monies on above EC Project, but need to know if there were any agreements about how much of the Budgets were to be transferred due to underspent Budgets by Stockhom and Gottingen. The Final result is that Stockholm underspent by 9.7k uro and Gottingen 16.7k uro, totalling 26.4k uro, whilst UEA have overspent 23.6k uro. However we are also aware that Finnish Forest, an Associate contractor to University Helsinki, Finland have vastly overspent by some 103k uro, Alison did a revaluation in October last year before the CS's were submitted to the EC. The normal practice is to utilise any underspend proportionately to an overspent contractor so in this case most of the overspent monies would go to the Finnish Forest. As we never received a reply at the time to Alison's email asking about any Budget transfers (email attached), can you let me know how you want the monies distributed therefore.

Following this he asked Sue to go ahead with the 1000 payment to the Russians. The Forest Research Institute have confirmed that they have no further costs, so it is just Helsinki who haven't responded. --- Begin Forwarded Message --- Date: Mon, 18 Oct 1999 16:22:51 +0100 (GMT Daylight Time) From: Alison Wardle Subject: Advance 10K Sender: k172@mailserver1.uea.ac.uk To: K.Briffa@uea Reply-To: a.wardle@uea.ac.uk Message-ID: Dear Keith After taking pending salary recharges into account for Kelly & Harris, UEA expenditure stands at 271162 Euros against a budget of 249000. This does not include the 1000pounds to the Russian subcontractor. Sue Boland has held back payment due to the grant being overspent. I attach a revised version of my spreadsheet. You will see that UEA has overspent by 22kEuro and Gottingen and Stockholm have underspent by 28kEuro. Was there any agreement about how much of the budgets were to be transferred? I have still heard nothing from Helsinki or the Forestry Research Institute. Once you are happy with the UEA claim I will have to forward the cost statements we have received. The stragglers can then be sent separately.
