                                 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
It is proposed that the Council adopt the attached Regulation setting aid to
hop producers for the 1987 harvest at
        aromatic hops                 330 ECU / hectare
        bitter hops                   370 ECU / hectare
        other hops                    370 ECU / hectare
There are two reasons for retaining the same average level of aid as was set
for the 1986 harvest and drawing together the different groups of varieties :
i)   producers' returns per hectare , which have fallen heavily in recent years ,
     have , because of the low yields obtained , showed no significant
     improvement in 1987 ;
ii ) the substantial difference on average between the returns on aromatic
     varieties (5 441 ECU / ha ) and those on bitter (4 727 ECU / ha ) and other
     varieties (4 856 ECU / ha ) was reduced between 1986 and 1987 on bitter
     varieties returns compared with those of aromatic varieties - by a
     relative increase of 5% .
No impact on small and medium enterprises .
The cost of the proposal to the EAGGF Guarantee Section is estimated at ( 9 )
million ECU .

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
 in particular Article 43 thereof ,
Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1696 / 71 of 26 July 1971 on the
common organization of the market in hops ( 1 ), as last amended by Regulation
 ( EEC ) No 3998 / 87 ( 2 ), and in particular Article 12 ( 7 ) thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliamant ( 3 ),
Whereas Article 12 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1696 / 71 provides that aid may be
granted to hop producers to enable them to achieve a fair income ; whereas the
amount of this aid is fixed per hectare and differs according to varieties ,
taking into account the average return on the areas in full production
compared with the average returns for previous harvests , the current position
of the market and trends in costs ;
Whereas an examination of the results of the 1987 harvest shows the need to
fix aid for certain groups of varieties of hops cultivated in the Community ;
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
