1 . Article 3 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 729 / 70 provides for the Council to lay
    down the general rules for financing by the EAGGF Guarantee Section . In
    this context , the Council has listed in the Annex to Regulation ( EEC ) No
    1883 / 78 those measures complying with the concept of intervention inten­
    ded . to stabilize the agricultural markets .                  -
2 . Since Regulation ( EEC ) No 1883 / 78 was adopted , its Annex has" twice been
    amended by Regulations ( EEC ) No 1030 / 79 of 24.5.1979 and No 249 / 80 of
    29.1.1980 . Further updating is required in view of the fact that , in the
    meantime , several new measures have been adopted and certain existing mea­
    sures have been either extended or repealed . Since this is the third
    amendment , it is preferable to rewrite completely the list contained in
    the Annex to Regulation ( EEC ) No 1883 / 78 , which is therefore the subject of
-   the attached proposal .
3 . It should be pointed out that the old Annex still applies in the case of
    measures no longer contained in the new one , but for which expenditure is
    still being incurred .                  "
4 . This proposal for a Regulation does not have the effect of creating a new
    category of expenditure .
