IREGULATION (EEC) No 845/72 OF THE COUNCIL
of 24 April 1972
laying down special measures to encourage silkworm rearing
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the T reaty establishing the EuropeanEconomic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament;

Committee;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 827/68 (
1)o f
28 June 1968 on the common organization of the market
in certain products listed in Annex II to the T reaty lays
down the measures governing trade in silkworms and silk-
worm eggs without, however, providing for support
measures within the Community; whereas silkworm rearingis of some importance to the economies of certain regions
of the Community; whereas this activity is a source of
additional income for farmers in those regions; whereas
measures should therefore be adopted to help to ensure a
fair income for silkworm rearers;
Whereas, to that end, provision should be made for
measures to facilitate the adjustment of supply to market
requirements, and an aid replacing all national silkworm
aids should be granted for silkworm rearing; whereas, in
view of the characteristic features of silkworm rearing, this
aid should take the form of a fixed sum per box of silk-
worm eggs used;
Whereas expenses incurred by the Member States as a re-
sult of the obligations resulting from this Regulation
should be financed by the Community in accordance with
the provisions relating to the financing of the common
agricultural policy;
