The French authorities will place the appropriate personnel and equipment at the disposal of the ETSC as a priority.\nUnder the applicable financial regulations, the part of the expenses attributable to the work carried out by the ETSC will be charged to the general budget of the European Communities. Since France will provide the abovementioned personnel, premises and equipment and will be responsible for their maintenance, the Community budget will meet the salaries of the personnel recruited by the Commission, travelling expenses and sundry minor current expenditure.\nDG ECFIN shall define, in cooperation with the French Mint, the rules and administrative modalities applicable to the ETSC.",
