In accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/ 77 on oomoon
measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural produots
are prooessed and marketed , the estimated period of time for realising
this measure was fixed at 5 years from 1 January 1978* As a result ,
the application of the Regulation shall expire , in prinoiple , on
31 December 1982 .
Becauae of the importance of this Regulation in increasing the value
of farm produots and the resulting salutary effeots which it has had
on farm incomes, the extension of its application for a further period
of time after 31 December 1982 is to be envisaged.
The provisionsof the Regulation need to be up-dated , however , particularly
so as to bring them into line with the needs of the ourrent economic
situation. In addition , the possibility of enlarging the scope of the Re­
gulation so as to make it a more positive instrument in furthering the '
development of agriculture , particularly in the Mediterranean regions of
the Community , is being examined by the Commission.
Hhile awaiting the results of this examination it is proposed in the
interests of continuity of the measure to extend ,without amendment , its
period of validity up to 31 December 1983 - the estimated period of tins
of the existing Regulation. During this time more detailed proposals
on necessary amendments to the Regulation whioh take due note of the
orientations suggested above , will be proposed to the Counoil by the
Commission.
The financing of this extension is assured within the framework of the
5-year financial allocation , 1980-84, of the EAGOF , Guidanoe Section,
and is aooounted for in the provisional state of expenditure envisaged
for this period.
