(91/C 176/03) 
COM (91) 101 final 
(Submitted by the Commission on 31 May 1991) 
THE COUNCIL 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 least amended by 
Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 (2), and in particular Article 
2 (2) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Whereas Council Directive 86/466/EEC (3) concerning the 
Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the 
meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC sets out the areas of 
Spain which are included in the Community list of 
less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Article 3 
(3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC; 
Whereas the Government of the Kingdom of Spain has 
requested, pursuant to Article 2 (2) of Directive 
75/268/EEC, that the Community list of farming areas 
listed in the Annex to Directive 86/466/EEC be amended 
in accordance with the Annex to this Directive; 
Whereas the new areas to be included in the list are in line 
with the criteria and figures used in Directive 86/466/EEC 
for determining the areas within the meaning of Article 3 
(3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC; Whereas the protection of the environment constitutes an 
important criterion in Directive 86/466/EEC for the 
demarcation of less-favoured areas affected by specific 
handicaps within the meaning of Article 3 (5) of Directive 
75/268/EEC and whereas severe damage could be 
inflicted on the natural environment as a result of the 
existence of mining and quarrying activities; whereas, 
moreover, the total extent of these areas does not exceed 
4 % of the area of the Member State concerned 
(3,86 %); 
Whereas the amendments requested by the Spanish 
Government under Article 2 (2) of Directive 75/268/EEC 
have the effect of increasing the utilized agricultural area of 
all the less-favoured areas by not more than 4,5 % of the 
total utilized agricultural area of Spain, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: 
Article 1 
The list of less-favoured areas of the Kingdom of Spain as 
set out in the Annex to Directive 86/466/EEC is hereby 
supplemented by the list set out in the Annex to this 
Directive.
