THE PROVISIONS AT ISSUE ARE , IN PARTICULAR , ARTICLE 10 OF REGIONAL LAW NO 47/80 GRANTING AID TO DURUM-WHEAT PRODUCERS , ARTICLES 2 AND 3 OF REGIONAL LAW NO 83/80 GRANTING AID FOR THE DISPOSAL TO COOPERATIVES OF TABLE GRAPES INTENDED FOR VINIFICATION , ARTICLES 8 AND 9 OF THE SAME LAW GRANTING AID FOR TOMATOES INTENDED FOR PROCESSING , ARTICLES 10 AND 11 OF THE LAW GRANTING LOANS ON FAVOURABLE TERMS TO SICILIAN CANNING UNDERTAKINGS , ARTICLE 12 OF THE LAW GRANTING AID TO CITRUS-FRUIT PRODUCERS WHO ARE MEMBERS OF COOPERATIVES AND ARTICLES 15 AND 17 OF THE LAW GRANTING SUBSIDIES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ALMONDS , HAZEL-NUTS AND PISTACHIO NUTS INTENDED FOR DISPOSAL TO COOPERATIVES .
16 IN THAT REGARD THE COMMISSION MAINTAINS THAT THE RELEVANT COMMUNITY REGULATIONS COVER IN A COMPLETE AND COMPREHENSIVE MANNER THE ORGANIZATION OF AGRICULTURAL MARKETS IN THE PRODUCTS REFERRED TO ABOVE AND THE AID APPLICABLE THERETO , WITH THE RESULT THAT THE MEASURES IN QUESTION ARE INCOMPATIBLE WITH THOSE REGULATIONS SINCE THEY ARE CONTRARY TO THE OBJECTIVES PURSUED BY THE COMMUNITY LEGISLATURE AND ARE CAPABLE OF DISTORTING COMPETITION , JEOPARDIZING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COMMUNITY INTERVENTION MEASURES AND INTRODUCING A DISRUPTIVE FACTOR IN THE MARKET TREND .
COMPATIBILITY OF ARTICLE 10 OF REGIONAL LAW NO 47/80 WITH REGULATION NO 2727/75
17 ARTICLE 10 OF REGIONAL LAW NO 47/80 PROVIDES FOR THE RENEWAL AND , IN PART , ALSO THE INCREASE OF AID FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DURUM WHEAT . IN THE COMMISSION ' S VIEW , NO SUCH AID IS PROVIDED FOR BY REGULATION NO 2727/75 OF THE COUNCIL ON THE COMMON ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKET IN CEREALS , WHICH ESTABLISHED A COMPLETE AND COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM DENYING THE MEMBER STATES ANY ADDITIONAL POWER TO INFLUENCE THE FORMATION OF PRICES AT PRODUCTION LEVEL .
18 IT IS CLEAR FROM REGULATION NO 2727/75 , AND IN PARTICULAR FROM ARTICLE 2 THEREOF , THAT THE REGULATION PROVIDES FOR A SYSTEM OF PRICES AND OTHER MEASURES INTENDED TO ESTABLISH A SYSTEM OF UNIFORM PRICES FOR CEREALS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY . ARTICLE 10 PROVIDES FOR THE GRANT ON CERTAIN CONDITIONS OF AID OF A UNIFORM AMOUNT FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DURUM WHEAT . IT FOLLOWS FROM THAT SYSTEM THAT ANY SUPPORT MEASURE MUST BE DECIDED UPON AT COMMUNITY LEVEL IN ORDER TO AVOID THE RISK OF JEOPARDIZING THE FUNCTIONING OF THE SYSTEM BY THE GRANT OF ADDITIONAL AID .
19 THE GRANT OF THE NATIONAL AID IN QUESTION IS THEREFORE CONTRARY TO THE RELEVANT COMMUNITY LEGISLATION AND IS CAPABLE OF DISTORTING THE SYSTEM ESTABLISHED BY REGULATION NO 2727/75 .
20 THE ITALIAN REPUBLIC HAS THEREFORE FAILED TO FULFIL AN OBLIGATION UNDER THE TREATY BY GRANTING AID AT A FIXED RATE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DURUM WHEAT .
COMPATIBILITY OF ARTICLES 2 AND 3 OF REGIONAL LAW NO 83/80 WITH REGULATION NO 337/79
21 ARTICLE 2 OF REGIONAL LAW NO 83/80 PROVIDES FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE SICILIAN REGION FOR THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST
