Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 
amending, as a result of the accession of Norway, Austria, 
Finland and Sweden, certain regulations in the agricultural sector 
providing for part-financing of certain measures in favour of 
the new Member States 
(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
The setting up of control systems in the agricultural sector could represent a considerable financial 
burden for the four new Member States (Norway ; Austria, Finland and Sweden). Provision must 
therefore be made for a Community financial contribution to measures undertaken by these Member 
States in this area as was provided, and in certain cases still is provided, for the existing Member 
States. 
To that end, adjustments must be made to the Regulations currently in force providing for Community 
part-financing for a limited period for the 12 Member States for measures relating to checks, and 
specifically a posteriori accounting checks as provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 4045/89, the 
reinforcement of checks as referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 307/91, the establishment of an 
integrated management and control system as provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 and 
remote sensing checks as provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 165/94. 
The Community financial contributions for the four new Member States have been determined on the 
basis of the calculations used when the abovementioned Regulations were adopted. 
This financial contribution will start on 1 January 1995 subject to the entry into force of the Accession 
Treaties for all the new Member States. If one of these states does not accede to the Union, the text 
of the draft Regulation will have to be amended accordingly.
