                                 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3828 / 85 of 20 December 1985 on a specific
programme for the development of Portuguese agriculture came into force on
1 January 1986 ; since that date it has become clear that application of the
measures provided for in Articles 21 and 22 of the said Regulation would be
facilitated by the amendments proposed in this draft Regulation .
The amendments would involve :
   an increase of ten percentage points in the rate of aid from the EAGGF
   Guidance Section towards projects financed in Portugal under Council
   Regulation ( EEC ) No 355 / 77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to
   improve the conditions under which agricultural and fishery products are
   processed and marketed ( Article 21 ). It is recommended that this increase
                                                                          increa
   should be applied to all projects relating to agricultural products and
   financed in Portugal under the said Regulation ( EEC ) No 355 / 77 ,
   irrespective of the rate of aid from the EAGGF Guidance Section ;
   the rate of aid from the EAGGF Guidance Section towards expenditure on the
                       forestry measures ( Article 22 ).
   implementation of forestrv                                                th
                                                          It is recommended that
   this rate be increased from 50% to 70% with effect from 1 January 1987 .
It is also recommended that a Monitoring Committee be set up ( Article 4a ) to
ensure , within the framework of the partnership between the Commission and
Portugal , that the measures provided for in Regulation ( EEC ) No 3828 / 85 are
duly implemented and adjusted , if necessary , in the light of joint monitoring
and assessment procedures .
These various amendments will have no effect on the estimated cost of the
common measure to the EAGGF .

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing           the    European Economic Community ,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal , and in particular
Articles 253 , 258(2 ) and 263(2 ) thereof and Protocol No 24 annexed thereto ,

Whereas Article 21 of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3828/85 provides that the European
Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund is to grant aid at a uniform maximum
rate of 60% towards projects relating to agricultural products and financed in
Portugal under Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the
conditions under which agricultural and fishery products are processed and

marketed ,     as last amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No 1760 / 87 ;               whereas , if
the purpose of this Article , namely a substantial improvement in processing
and marketing facilities , is to be more effectively achieved , the uniform rate
should be replaced by a flexible rate , so that the rate of aid from the Fund
towards projects financed in Portugal under this scheme may be increased by 10
percentage points ;
Whereas the financial resources available to Portugal are very limited ;
whereas , since the Community considers as a priority the implementation of
forestry measures in Portugal as defined in Article 22 of Regulation ( EEC )
No 3828 / 85 , the rate of Community co-financing should be raised to 70% in the
case of expenditure incurred on implementing such measures , in order to
provide greater encouragement for investments in this sector ;
