(83/286/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3164/82 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, as amended by Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3073/82 (3), extended the estimated time required for carrying out the common measures introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 until 31 December 1984;

Whereas the period of validity of the programmes within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 approved by the Commission, as listed in the Annex to this Decision, expires on 31 December 1982;

Whereas the Governments of the Member States concerned have communicated amendments to those programmes concerning prolongation of the common measures for the period specified;

Whereas, except in the potato starch sector, the prolongation of the said programmes, is in accordance with the objectives of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77; whereas the special situation in the abovementioned sector suggests that an extension in respect of potato starch should be refused;

Whereas approval of the prolongation of programmes or sections of programmes relating to milk products other than products obtained from goat's and ewe's milk can be given for projects submitted after 30 April 1983, subject only to future Community policy rectifying the structural surplusses in this sector;

Whereas approval of the prolongation of programmes or sections of programmes, taking into account the foregoing, does not affect decisions to be taken pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 relating to Community finance for projects of the abovementioned sector;

Whereas approval of the prolongation of programmes should be limited to applications pursuant to Article 24 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the total duration resulting from the prolongation of the programmes can still be regarded as being within the limit specified in Article 3 (1) (g) of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 for the execution of programmes;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. The prolongation of the programmes under Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 listed in the Annex hereto, with the exception of the sections of programmes relating to the manufacture of potato starch, is hereby approved.
