Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Whereas Protocol 24 to the Act of Accession provides 
that, as from the date of accession and in accordance 
with the objectives of the common agricultural policy, 
joint action must be embarked upon which comprises a 
specific development programme adapted to the special 
structural conditions and specific requirements of 
Portuguese agriculture; 
Whereas such a programme must be accompanied by 
effective application of the measures provided for in 
Council Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 (') as amended by 
Regulation (EEC) No 3827/85 (2); 
Whereas, however, some of the conditions laid down in 
that Regulation are not in keeping with the special 
structural conditions and specific requirements of

of adjustments to, or derogations from, the Regulation 
are called for, in particular as regards eligibility under 
the various schemes and the improvements which the 
agricultural holdings will be expected to achieve,
