Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 (2), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,

Whereas Council Directive 75/275/EEC of 28 April 1975 concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 92/93/EEC (4), specifies the areas of the Netherlands included in the Community list of less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC;

Whereas the Netherlands Government has requested, in accordance with Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, a more accurate and coherent definition of the less-favoured areas listed in the Annex to Directive 92/93/EEC;

Whereas the new definition of the areas within the meaning of Article 3 (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC already included in the list does not amend the boundaries of those areas which comply with the criteria and figures, including the special criteria, laid down in Directives 75/275/EEC and 92/93/EEC;

Whereas the series of amendments requested by the Netherlands Government pursuant to Article 2 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC does not involve an increase in the total utilized agricultural area of the less-favoured areas of 110 915 hectares given in the Annex to Directive 92/93/EEC and does therefore not effect the limit laid down in the said Article;

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

Article 1

The list of less-favoured areas in the Netherlands given in the Annex to Directive 92/93/EEC is hereby replaced by the Annex hereto.

COMMISSION DECISION of 22 April 1993 amending the boundaries of the less-favoured areas in the Federal Republic of Germany within the meaning of Council Directive 75/268/EEC (Only the German text is authentic)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 (2), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,

Whereas Council Directive 86/465/EEC concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 92/92/EEC (4), specifies the areas of the Federal Republic of Germany included in the Community list of less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC;

Wheras the German Government has requested, in accordance with Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, an amendment to the boundaries of the less-favoured areas listed in the Annex to Directive 92/92/EEC to take account of administrative changes which have taken place in the areas concerned;

Whereas the administrative transfer of certain areas already included in the list of areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC does not change the boundaries of those homogeneous areas which have already been classified and which respect the criteria and figures, including the special criteria, laid down for the delimitation of those areas in Directive 86/465/EEC;

Whereas the series of amendments requested by the German Government pursuant to Article 2 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC does not increase the total utilized agricultural area of the less-favoured areas and therefore does not affect the limit laid down in the said Article;

Whereas, to ensure clarity, it is desirable to publish a complete new list of the less-favoured agricultural areas as indicated in the Annex to Directive 92/92/EEC;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The list of less-favoured areas in the Federal Republic of Germany given in the Annex to Directive 92/92/EEC is hereby amended in accordance with the Annex hereto.

(93/570/EEC, Euratom)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 89/130/EEC, Euratom of 13 February 1989 on the harmonization of the compilation of gross national product at market prices (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Whereas for the purpose of the definition of gross national product at market prices (GNPmp) pursuant to Article 1 of Directive 89/130/EEC, Euratom it is necessary to clarify the distinction between payments of other taxes linked to production and the purchase of services into intermediate consumption as used for the purpose of the European System of Integrated Economic Accounts;

ANNEX

For the purpose of applying Article 1 of Council Directive 89/130/EEC, Euratom the following explanation aims to clarify Article 2 of that Directive regarding the definitions of intermediate consumption (P 20) and other taxes linked to production (R 222).

It is possible to distinguish, within the transactions of a producer unit, between the purchase of a service from a non-market producer for intermediate consumption (P 20) and the payment of 'other taxes linked to production' (R 222) using the following criteria:

a payment made by a producer unit to a non-market unit of general government is regarded as a purchase of services if:

- the payment is given as consideration for a service rendered to the producer unit,

- the payment is clearly related to the cost of providing the service,

- a service of a similar nature could be obtained from a market producer unit;

if those conditions are not met, the payment is recorded as 'other taxes linked to production' (R 222).
