                               EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The 22 mountainous and Less-favoured prefectures of continental Greece with
which this proposal is concerned account for some 50 % of all the less-
                                                            (1 )
favoured areas within the meaning of Directive 81 / 645 / EEC , that is , one-
third of the national territory .
The main structural features of these areas are as follows :
- more than half the working population is engaged in agriculture .
    Over the period 1961-71 , the population declined by 22 % , as compared
    with a 15.5 % increase elsewhere in Greece ;
- only one home in three is supplied with drinking water ;
- farm roads are totally inadequate ;
- almost 50 % of the land is pasture and'25 % wood land .      Arable land and
    permanent crops account for only 17 % of farmland , as compared with 30 %
    e Isewhere ;
- the average size of farm ( 2.7 ha ) and plot ( 0.45 ha ) is only 60 % of the
    national average and , in many cases , even well below this level ;
- only 5 % of farmers have received any agricultural training , whilst less
    than 1 % have followed a complete course of agricultural training .     In
    the areas not covered by this proposal , 20 % of farmers have received
    agricultural training ;
- the gross agricultural product per holding or per hectare is less than
    30 % of that achieved elsewhere in Greece .

  The situation could be improved by means of a programme of measures to
 meet the main requirements of agricultural development in these areas .
  Such a programme would therefore have to consist of measures relating to :
 - rural infrastructures , and in particular public services such as elec­
     tricity , drinking water , farm roads and local roads ;
 - small-scale irrigation networks using the water supplies available to
     improve the conditions for agricultural production ;
 --- the improvement of pastures and protection against erosion ;
 - the development of cattle , sheep and goat farming ;
 - the improvement of facilities for ag ri cultura I' t rai ni ng by the astabli sh-
     ment of training centres or by the enlargement and renovation of existing
     centres ;                                        %
 - soil and water conservation , afforestation and the improvement of degraded
     forests , including measures to safeguard and maintain the woodland required
     for the protection of agricultural land .
 The proposed programme involves a total cost for the EAGGF Guidance section of
 197 = 9 MECU .  34 MECU of this total will fall in the 1980 / 84 five year allocation .
According to the table given by the Commission with its proposal concerning
the Level of interest rate subsidies ( doc „ COM ( 81 ) 770 final , 11 December 1981 ,
page 7 ), credits are available to finance this amount within the present
allocation .

                               COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )
on the acceleration of agricultural development in certain regions of Greece
  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 the proposal from the Commi ssiond ),
  Having regard to the opinion of'ithe European Parliament ( 2 ),
  Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee ( 3 ),
  Whsreas Article 39(2 ) ( a ) of the Treaty provides that the social structure
  of agriculture and the structural and natural disparities between the ■
  various agricultural regions must be : taken into account in working out the
  common agricultural policy ;
  Whereas , to achieve the aims of the common agricultural policy set out in
  Article 39 (1 ) (a ) and ( b) of the Treaty , specia I measures appropriate to the
  situation in the less-favoured agricultural areas should be taken at
  Community level ;
  Whereas , in certain less-favoured areas of Greece , within the meaning of
  Council Directive 81 / 645 / EEC of 20 July. 1981        concerning the Community
  list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75 / 268 / EEC
  ( Greece ) ( 4 ), there are serious problems of underemployment in agriculture ;
  Whereas , in these areas , the percentage of the working population engaged
  in agriculture is relatively high and agricultural incomes are very low ;

 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the infrastructure in these rural regions is very inadequate ,
particularly in public services such as electricity , drinking water,
farm roads arid local roads , and whereas the provision of new or better
services is 3n important prerequisite for the improvement of agricultural
structures ;
Whereas agricultural production in these regions is seriously hampered
by a particularly poor hydrological balance and iwhereas the available
water can be used to establish small irrigation networks!;
Whereas , in the mountain and hill areas , the improvement of pastures and
protection against erosion are essential prerequisites for the improvement
of agriculture in these regions ;
Whereas relatively few farmers in these regions are capable of implementing
a development plan with a view to attaining the comparable income level
referred to in Article 4(1 ) of Council Directive 72 / 159/ EEC of 17 . 'April 1972
on the modernisation of farms ( 1 ), as last amended by Directive 81 / 528 / EEC ( 2 ) ,
and whereas the development of cattle , sheep and goat farming , together
with the improvement of pastures and irrigation , could help to bring about
an effective and permanent improvement in the economic position of farms ;
Whereas the level of training among the- farming population is particularly
low, whereas the measures to improve the conditions for agricultural
production cannot achieve their full effect unless farmers acquire greater
occupational skill , and whereas , therefore , it is necessary to improve the
infrastructure for agriculture training by establishing training centres
or by enlarging and renovating existing centres ;

Whereas , since some farmland is affected by erosion., soil and water
conservation is a particularly important requirement and whereas
afforestation and the improvement of degraded forests , including measures
to protect and maintain forests , constitute appropriate means of protecting
farmland in these regions ;
Whtreas these objectives should be furthered by action combining these
various elements within the framework of a special programme ;
Whereas it follows from the foregoing that the abovementi oned measures
constitute a common measure within the meaning of Article 6 of Council

common agricultural policy ( 1 ), as last amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No3509 / 80 ( 2 );
