COM(83) 93 final 
Brussels,  28 February  1983 
Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) 
amending  Regulation  (EEC) No 1362/78  on the  programme for  the 
acceleration  and guidance  of collective  irrigation  works in 
the Mezzogiorno 
(submitted  to the  Council  by the  Commission)

COM 33) 
EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 
Régulation  (EEC) No  1362/78  provicies  for the programme for  the accele-
i nriaation 
ration of collectivè7 worRs in the  Mezzogiorno  to be  implemented  over 
a period of five years from  the entry into force of the  Regulation. 
Drawing up and  approving  the outline  programme  took 17 months. 
Because of this, implementation  of the  programme began  very late. 
On the  basis of experience gained from applying  the first specific 
programmes,  the provision  concerning  the time allowed  for implementing 
the common  measure  has been made more flexible  in the  case of specific 
programmes  adopted from  1981 onwards  in that the time allowed  is counted 
from the date on which the programme  is approved. 
Five year should  be allowed  for the implementation  of this programme. 

Proposal  for a 
Regulation  amending  Council Regulation  (EEC) No 1362/78 on the programme 
for the acceleration  and guidance  of collective  irrigation  works in the 
Mezzogiorno  (1) .

and in particular  Article  43 thereof,

Whereas a  period  of five years was considered necessary  for carrying  out 
the work under the programme;

for that reason  the programme did not  begin to be implemented  until 
17 months  after the entry into force of Regulation  (EEC) No  1362/78; 
Whereas a  period  of five years should  be allowed  for implementing  the 
programme,
