THECOUNCIL OF qiHEEUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic
Community ,and .inparticular Article 43thereof ,
Having regard totheActofAccession ofGreece ,and inparticular
Article 22thereof .
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ,
Having regard totheopinion oftheEuropean Parliament
Whereas Article 3ofCouncil Regulation (EEC )No1360 /78 (2)
fixes theagricultural products towhich that Regulation applies ,
and itisnecessary todefine itsarea ofapplication in
Greece ,
Whereas inGreece the supply ofagricultural products ischaracterised
byvery severe structural problems ;whereas ineffect ,this supply
isplaced onthemarket byavery large number ofsmall and insuffi­
ciently organised farms ;whereas ,inparticular ,according tothe
information available ,only some 16%ofGreek farms aremembers of
organisations which are concerned with themarketing ofagricultural
produce andonly about 6%ofthevalue ofagricultural production
ofthecountry ismarketed bysuch organisations ;whereas ,apart
from certain exceptions ,these structural deficiencies ofsupply relate t
'Greek agriculture asawhole ;whereas these exceptions ,because of
their limited nature ,donot present the situation inGreece from being
taken into consideration asawhole .
