            THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

           Whereas the new statistics available show that the five new German LSnder

           Whereas Ceuta andMelilla qualifies as regions which may receive the maximum

           Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 provides for the maximum level of
            Community aid for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and for Ceuta-Melilla for measures
            aimed at the restructuring, renewal, and modernisation of the fishing
            fleet;
