Proposal for a Council Regulation (EEC) amending for the 11th time Regulation (EEC) 
No 1837/80 on the common organization of the market in sheep and goatmeat (Modulation of 
the ewe premium) 
COM(86) 670final 
(Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 24 November 1986) 
(86/C 323/03) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas production costs differ appreciably in certain 
regions of the Community, for the production of lamb in 
the various areas making up this region; whereas the 
seasonal variation in these production costs does not 
correspond to the seasonal variation in market prices in 
that region; whereas provision should be made, for this 
region as well, for modulation of the premium for the 
producers of sheepmeat referred to in Article 5 of 
Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 (*), as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No . ..; 
Whereas this modulation should, for each beneficiary, 
take account: 
— of the difference each week between the seasonally-
adjusted price referred to in Article 3 (3) of Regu­
lation (EEC) No 1837/80 and the market price 
recorded for each region in accordance with the 
provisions of Article 4 of the same Regulation, 
— of seasonal changes in lamb sales, 
(l) OJNoL183, 16.7. 1980, p. 1. Article 1 
The following paragraph 3 a is added to Article 5 of 
Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80: 
'3. (a) Insofar as is necessary to offset major 
seasonal variations in the costs of producing 
sheepmeat, it may be decided, in accordance with the 
procedure provided for in Article 26, in the regions 
where the seasonal variation in production costs 
corresponds to seasonally adjusted basic prices, to 
effect a seasonal modulation of the premium payable 
per ewe. This modulation must be calculated in such 
a way, for each beneficiary: 
— that it reflects the difference between the 
seasonally-adjusted basic price and the market 
price, referred to in Article 4, representative for 
each Member State concerned, 
— it allows for seasonal changes in sales of lambs. 
However, total expenditure for each marketing year 
under this provision may not exceed such expenditure 
as is entailed by the application of paragraph 3. 
Also, only 70 % of the premium payable per ewe 
may be modulated; however, where the provisions of 
paragraph 4 apply, only the amount corresponding to 
the balance of the premium paid in the less-favoured 
agricultural areas may be modulated.' 
Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day 
following its publication in the Official Journal of the 
European Communities. 
It shall apply for the first time to the premiums granted 
for the 1987 marketing year. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and 
directly applicable in all Member States.

3. The prepackaged products referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 may be exempted from 
the obligation to indicate the unit price by the Member States where they are sold in 
smaller or greater quantities than those set out in the Community ranges. 
Article 9 
Where Community measures are adopted concerning the standardization of ranges of 
quantities of contents relating to non-food products prepackaged in pre-established 
quantities or the revision of previously adopted quantity ranges, the Council shall amend 
Article 8. 
Article 10 
During a five-year period to run from the adoption of this Directive, the Member States

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European

Whereas the Community and Mauritania have 
negotiated an Agreement, which was initialled on 14 
May 1987, on fishing off the coast of Mauritania, which 
provides for fishing opportunities for fishermen from the 
enlarged Community in the waters over which 
Mauritania has sovereignty or jurisdiction; 
Whereas, pursuant to Article 155 (2) (b) of the Act of 
Accession, the Council is required to determine the pro­
cedures appropriate to take into consideration all or part 
of the interests of the Canary Islands when it adopts 
decisions, case by case, in particular with a view to the 
conclusion of fisheries agreements with third countries; 
whereas the said procedures need to be determined in

Whereas it is in the Community's interest to approve this 
Agreement,

Article 1 
The Agreement between the European Economic 
Community and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania on fishing off the coast of Mauritania is hereby approved on

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 75 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas the Council and the representatives of the 
governments of the Member States, meeting in the 
Council on 19 December 1984, adopted a resolution on 
road safety (') inviting the Commission to present 
proposals in this context; 
Whereas the European Parliament adopted on 18 
February 1986 a resolution on the Community's 
programme for Road Safety Year 1986 (2) which 
included the tread depth of tyres as one of the common 
provisions to be implemented as soon as possible; 
Whereas the requirements which tyres for motor vehicles 
and their trailers must meet in pursuance of national 
laws relate, inter alia, to the tread depth of such tyres, 
even and especially while such tyres are in use; 
Whereas these requirements vary from one Member 
State to another and whereas such differences raise 
serious problems in respect of driver liability where 
vehicles are driven on the territory of other Member 
States, that is to say within the Community; Whereas harmonization of these requirements will fa­
cilitate the free movement of vehicles between Member 
States; 
Whereas such harmonization is necessary and fully 
justified by the aim of guaranteeing road users a greater 
degree of safety; whereas there is an urgent need for the 
requirements concerning tyre tread wear indicators, 
already proposed in 1977 (3), also to be laid down; 
Whereas the narrowly-focused question of the harmon­
ization of the tread depth of tyres is nevertheless in line 
with the aims and activities of the Community Road 
Safety Year 1986, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: 
Article 1 
Member States shall take all necessary steps to ensure 
that throughout their service life on the road, tyres for 
category Mi, Ni, d and 02 vehicles, as defined in 
Annex I to Council Directive 70/156/EEC (*) shall have 
a tread depth of at least 1.6 millimetres over their entire 
tread surface. 
Article 2 
After consulting the Commission Member States shall 
adopt and publish before 31 December 1987 the laws, 
regulations and administrative provisions necessary for 
the implementation of this Directive from 1 June 1988. 
Member States shall inform the Commission of the texts
