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 75/273/EEC of 28 April 1975 concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (Italy) (3), as last amended by Directive 89/251/EEC (4), identifies the areas in Italy included on the Community list of less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC;

Whereas the Italian Government has applied, pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, for an adjustment of the boundaries of the less-favoured areas in the regions of the Marches and Tuscany listed in the Annex to Directive 75/273/EEC;

Whereas the Italian Government has, moreover, communicated the complete documentation requested by the Commission on the request for an adjustment of the boundaries for the regions of Basilicata and Lombardy;

Whereas the less-favoured areas resulting from these adjustments exhibit the indices and values used in Directive 75/273/EEC;

Whereas the adjustments requested by the Italian Government pursuant to Article 2 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC do not have the combined effect of increasing the utilized agricultural area of all the listed areas by more than 1,5 % of the total utilized agricultural area in Italy;

Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;

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:
