This period oftenyears ,established astheestimated time ,expires
forthefour Directives on19April 1982 .
On24June 1980 and30June 198l »"theCouncil ofMinisters decided on
fundamental amendments toDirectives 75/268/EEC ,72/159/E230and72/l6l/EEC»
Inaccordance with these decisions ,theMember States arerequired tobring these
amendments into force by31Deoember 1981 atthelatest .
The communication ofthe Commission tothe Counoil onthe reform
ofthecommon agricultural policy will also undoubtedly necessitate the
introduction ofother amendments orprovisions whioh arecomplementary to
those already existing intheagricultural structures policy ofthe
Community }aperiod ofreflection seems indispensable before such proposals
are made *
Inthese circumstances ,inorder togain experience intheapplication
ofthemeasures already adopted and .learn lessons from it,aswell as
thoroughly toresearch possible newsolutions ,itappears essential toextend
thedeadline by .which theCouncil istodecide onanyamendments tothe
abovementioned Directives .
TheCommission believes that extending the .deadline to'31December 1983 gives
thebest guarantee ofawell-founded decision .
