Article 16 of Counoil Directive 72/159/EEC of 17 April 1972 on the
modernization of farms , as last amended "by Directive 8l/528/SEC , Article 7
of Council Directive 72/160/EEC of 17 April 1972 concerning measures
to encourage the cessation of farming and the reallocation of utilized
agricultural area for the purposes of structural improvement , and Article 9
of Council Directive 72/l6l/EEC concerning the provision of socio–economic
guidance for, and the acquisition of occupational skills by? persons engaged
in agriculture as last amended by Directive 8l/529/EEG r provide that the
estimated time for carrying out the common measures referred to in these
Directives is ten years. According to Article 13 of Directive 75/268/ESC
of 23 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-
favoured areas , as lapt amended by Directive 80/666/EEC , the estimated
duration of this Directive is linked with that of Directive 72/l59/EECe
This period of ten years , established as the estimated time , expires
for the four Directives on 19 April 1982 .
On 24 June 1980 and 30 June 198l » "the Council of Ministers decided on
fundamental amendments to Directives 75/268/EEC , 72/159/E230 and 72/l6l/EEC»
In accordance with these decisions , the Member States are required to bring these
amendments into force by 31 Deoember 1981 at the latest .
        The    communication of the Commission to the Counoil on the reform
of the common agricultural policy will also undoubtedly necessitate the
introduction of other amendments or provisions whioh are complementary to
those already existing in the agricultural structures policy of the
Community} a period of reflection seems indispensable before such proposals
are made *
In these circumstances , in order to gain experience in the application
of the measures already adopted and . learn lessons from it , as well as
thoroughly to research possible new solutions , it appears essential to extend
the deadline by . which the Council is to decide on any amendments to the
abovementioned Directives .
The Commission believes that extending the. deadline to '31 December 1983 gives
the best guarantee of a well-founded decision.
