ANNEX II  OBSERVATIONS  The Commission finds that the programme presented by the Government of the United Kingdom as a framework for future Community of national financial assistance represents an appropriate basis for promoting the development of facilities at fishing ports and also for the processing and marketing of fishery products.  The Commission points out that the development of facilities at fishing ports, for the processing and marketing of fishery products must be consistent with the probable trend of fishery resources and with the impact and objectives of multiannual guidance programmes for the fishing fleet and aquaculture sectors.  The Commission underlines the necessity to comply with the Community rules on public supply and work contracts in the projects and programmes financed through the Structural Funds and Community financial instruments (1).  Until 30 June 1991, projects for the provision of facilities at fishing ports submitted under Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and outside the framework of the sectorial plan will be examined for the purpose of granting aid under the present programme.
