Brussels,28October1975
Proposal
foraRegulation(EEC)oftheCouncil
concerningtheapplicationof
Article40(4)of"theEECTreatytothe
Frenchoverseasdepartments
(submittedtotheCouncilbytheCommission)
C0II(7S)530final.

Explanatory memorandum
1.Insofarasitvis laid down intheTreaty ofRome ,theFrench
overseas departments aresubject toitsprovisions .
Inaccordance with thefirst subparagraph ofArticle 227 (2)ofthe
Treaty ,theprovisions concerning theEuropean Agricultural Guidance
andGuarantee Fund donotapply totheFrench overseas departments .
Hoxjever ,thesecond subparagraph ofthis Article states that the
conditions under which provisions oftheTreaty notalready covered
bythefirst subparagraph aretoapply shall bedetermined bydecisions
oftheCouncil ,acting unanimously onaproposal from theCommission ,
This istherefore also true ofIhb .provisions relating totheEAGGF .
2.Theeconomic structure oftheFrench overseas departments isessen­
tially agricultural .Moreover ,agriculture inthese departments
suffers from certain natural disadvantages ,inparticular theclimatic
conditions and thedistance from Community markets .
Ittherefore appears desirable toextend thefield ofapplication of
theGuidance Section oftheEAGGF tothese departments inorder to
allow them toimprove their agricultural structure with theaidofthe
Community ,inparticular with regard totheprinciple laid down inthe
third subparagraph ofArticle 227 (2)oftheTreaty which lays down
that "theeconomic andsocial development ofthese areas (should be)
made possible 11*
3.Since theagricultural structure oftheFrench overseas departments
needs tobeimproved ,itappears desirable toallow them toreceive
Community aidassoon aspossible andtomake provisionifrom 1975
onward ^-forapplications foraidforprojects designed toimprove
agricultural structures ,within themeaning ofRegulation HoI7/64/EEC.
Regulation (EEC)No1215/75fixed 1iJum 1975 asthefinal date for
thesubmission ofapplications foraidfor1975 *Itistherefore neces­
sary tomake provision foraderogation iirespect ofprojects inthe
Frenoh overseas departments .
