COMMISSION DECISION of 4 December 1997 amending the definitions of the less-favoured areas in Austria within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 950/97 (Only the German text is authentic) (98/15/EC)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 950/97 of 20 May 1997 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (1), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Directive 95/212/EC (2) lays down the less-favoured areas within the meaning of Articles 23, 24 and 25 of Regulation (EC) No 950/97 in Austria and the criteria for their classification as such;
Whereas the Austrian Government has sent the Commission, in accordance with Article 21 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 950/97, a list of additional areas suitable for inclusion in the Community list of less-favoured areas plus information on the areas concerned and the criteria for their delimitation;
Whereas the information supplied indicates that the areas comply with the criteria laid down in Directive 95/212/EC for their delimitation in accordance with Articles 23, 24 and 25 of Regulation (EC) No 950/97; whereas the areas concerned should therefore be included in the Community list of less-favoured areas within the meaning of Articles 23, 24 and 25 of Regulation (EC) No 950/97 and the existing system of support for less-favoured areas extended to them; whereas, in order better to delimit existing less-favoured areas and avoid hardships caused by basing areas on administrative boundaries, the delimitation is to be based on natural boundaries; whereas, in certain cases, parts of municipalities should be removed from the list because, when delimited on the basis of natural boundaries, they no longer fulfil the criteria for classification as less-favoured areas;

Whereas these amendments do not bring the total utilised agricultural area to more than 1,5 % of the total utilised agricultural area of Austria;
Whereas, in addition, parts of the Mühlviertel and the Waldviertel regions which are classified as areas within the meaning of Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 950/97 in Directive 95/212/EC should be reclassified as areas within the meaning of Articles 24 and 25 of that Regulation since they fulfil the relevant criteria for such areas;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,
