Explanatory memorandum
       The Commission sent a proposal for a regulation relating
to Community intervention measures for industrial restructuring
                                                              1
and conversion operations to the Council on 31 October 1978     .
Under the terms of this Regulation the Community must be given ,
the opportunity to grant appropriate financial aids to under­
takings' investment programmes , thus facilitating the structural
changes necessary to overcome the crisis in certain sectors .
       The European Parliament delivered its opinion on this
proposal at the time of its session of 26 April 1979 .   The
Commission closely examined the remarks made in this Opinion
and decided to give effect to the proposed amendment to the     -
second paragraph of Article 1 .                       '
       This amendment aims at introducing a requirement for the
European Parliament 's Opinion to be obtained before the Council
can decide on those sectors to which aids may be granted .
       The Commission takes the view that this amendment must be
extended to include    the Economic and Social Committee in the
consultation process .
       This amendment , introduced into the abovementioned proposal
for a Regulation , also requires an amendment to the two proposals
for Decisions recently sent to the Council2 to enable the ship­
building industry and the textile industries particularly the
man-made fibres industry sectors to benefit from the financial
aids provided for by the Regulation .
