 ---pagebreak---                        EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The supply of agricultural products in Greece is characterised by
very severe structural problems because of the existence in that
country of a very large number of small and inefficiently organised
producers ,  No more than 6 <fo of the value of Greek agricultural
production is marketed in an organised fashion .    Accordingly ,
profit margins accruing to - the vast majority   of farmers are capable
of substantial improvement through better organisation of supply..
The application in Greece of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1360/78 on
producer groups and associations thereof would be of significant
benefit in remedying such structural deficiencies as exist in the
supply area , and which , apart from certain exceptions apply to the
whole of the country .
In accordance with Article 22 of the Aot of Accession , therefore ,
it is necessary to amend Regulation ( EEC ) no 1360/78 in order to
permit its effective application in Greece *
 ---pagebreak--- THE COUNCIL OF qiHE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community , and. in particular Article 43 thereof ,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece , and in particular
Article 22 thereof .
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament
 Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1360 / 78 ( 2 )
  fixes the agricultural products to which that Regulation applies ,
  and        it is necessary to define its area of application in
  Greece ,
  Whereas in Greece the supply of agricultural products is characterised
  by very severe structural problems ; whereas in effect , this supply
  is placed on the market by a very large number of small and insuffi­
  ciently organised farms ; whereas , in particular , according to the
  information available , only some 16% of Greek farms are members of
  organisations which are concerned with the marketing of agricultural
  produce and only about 6 % of the value of agricultural production
  of the country is marketed by such organisations ; whereas , apart
  from certain exceptions , these structural deficiencies of supply relate t
' Greek agriculture as a whole ;      whereas these exceptions , because of
  their limited nature , do not present the situation in Greece from being
  taken into consideration     as a whole .
