WITH THOSE EXPRESSLY MENTIONED IN THAT ARTICLE . THE REFERENCE IN ARTICLE 80 TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF AN APPROPRIATE REGIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE WHICH THE TREATY ATTACHES TO THIS FACTOR IN A COMMUNITY CONTEXT . CONSIDERED IN THIS CONTEXT SUCH REQUIREMENTS DO NOT NECESSARILY LEAD TO THE CONFIRMATION OF THE PROPOSED MEASURES BUT OBLIGE THE COMMISSION TO EXERCISE ITS DISCRETIONARY POWERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OBJECTIVES OF THE COMMUNITY . IN APPLYING ARTICLE 80(2 ), THEREFORE, THE COMMISSION MUST RECONCILE THE ESSENTIAL DEMANDS OF THE COMMON MARKET WITH THE PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT .
6 IN THE PRESENT CASE THE AUTHORIZATION IN DISPUTE CONCERNS A NEW TABLE ENTITLED " RATE " OF TITLE I - SERIES C - OF SPECIAL TARIFF NO 201, WHICH WAS INTRODUCED AT THE SAME TIME AS OTHER SPECIAL TARIFFS WERE ABOLISHED AND IS DESIGNED TO COMPENSATE IN PART FOR THE EFFECT OF THEIR ABOLITION . AS THE TARIFFS WHICH WERE ABOLISHED AT THAT TIME HAD ALREADY BEEN THE SUBJECT OF EARLIER AUTHORIZATIONS WHICH THE COMMISSION HAD REFUSED TO EXTEND, IT WAS ENTITLED TO REGARD THE FURTHER TARIFF SUBMITTED FOR EXAMINATION AS AN ADJUSTMENT MEASURE INTENDED TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF THE REDUCTION IN THE AID FOR TRANSPORT RESULTING FROM THEIR ABOLITION .
7 AS THE COMMISSION CONSIDERED A PROGRESSIVE MODIFICATION IN THE TARIFF SITUATION TO BE DESIRABLE, IT WAS ABLE TO AUTHORIZE THE TARIFF IN QUESTION FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF ADAPTATION . SUCH A MEASURE, DESIGNED TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF PREVIOUS DECISIONS, NORMALLY FALLS WITHIN THE POWERS AND DUTIES LAID DOWN BY ARTICLE 80, ALTHOUGH NO CONCLUSIONS ARE NECESSARILY TO BE DRAWN FROM THE MEASURE .
8 THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT ALLEGES THAT THE STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR THE MEASURE IN QUESTION DOES NOT DISCLOSE, WITH EVEN THE NECESSARY MINIMUM OF CLARITY, THE REASONS WHICH LED THE COMMISSION TO LIMIT ITS AUTHORIZATION AS TO TIME AND IT AGAIN PUTS FORWARD THE SUBMISSION OF INFRINGEMENT OF AN ESSENTIAL PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENT . IN ADDITION, IT CLAIMS THAT THE STATEMENT OF REASONS WAS ALSO CONTRADICTORY, AS, ALTHOUGH THE COMMISSION RECOGNIZED THAT THE MEASURES AUTHORIZED SATISFIED THE REQUIREMENTS OF ARTICLE 80(2 ), IT ONLY AUTHORIZED THEM FOR A LIMITED PERIOD .
9 A STATEMENT OF REASONS MUST SHOW CLEARLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY THE GROUNDS ON WHICH THE MEASURE IS BASED . ALTHOUGH THE STATEMENT OF REASONS IN QUESTION SEEMS FOR THE MOST PART TO SET OUT THE REASONS WHICH LED THE COMMISSION TO AUTHORIZE THE TARIFF IN DISPUTE, RATHER THAN TO JUSTIFY THE LIMITED DURATION OF THE AUTHORIZATION, NEVERTHELESS THE WORDING AND, IN PARTICULAR, THE REFERENCE IN THE NOTES TO PREVIOUS DECISIONS OF THE COMMISSION, WERE SUFFICIENT TO INFORM THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT, TO WHOM THESE DECISIONS WERE ADDRESSED, OF THE GROUNDS ON WHICH IT WAS BASED AND TO SHOW IN WHAT LIGHT ITS REQUEST FOR AN AUTHORIZATION HAD BEEN EXAMINED AND CONSIDERED .
10 IN ITS SECOND GROUND OF COMPLAINT THE APPLICANT GOVERNMENT ALLEGES THAT TO FIX SUCH SHORT TIME-LIMITS AS THOSE IN THE PRESENT CASE
