  The less favoured areas of Norhtern Ireland , within the meaning of Direc­
  tive 75 / 276 / EEC , occupy approximately* 40 % of the total land area of the
  region ; in addition the region as a whole is economically less well deve­
  loped than most other areas of the Community .
  Some 14 % of the active population is engaged directly in farming or . in
  industries ancilliary to agriculture ; the corresponding figure in the
  United Kingdom as a whole is 5.6 % .
  The region suffers from many economic and social difficulties due mainly
  to a combination of factors including
  - lack of natural resources ;                                         -
  - remoteness from market centres and sources of raw materials ;
  all of which tend to lessen the possibilities for the development of non­
, agricultural employment .                                     ,           '               '
                        I         '                 «
  The level of unemployment in the less favoured areas of Northern Ireland
  is 22 '/. as against 10.5 % in the region as a whole and 5.6 % in the United
  Kingdom and also in the Community .                                              ,
  In many parts of the region dependence on agriculture is more a reflection
  of the lack of alternative . employment opportunities " rather than of conditions
                                                                                          /
  which are particularly favourable to farming .            By comparison with the remainder
  of the United Kingdom the region is at a significant disadvantage insofar as
  land quality , climatic conditions and farm incomes are concerned .            As a result
  many farmers are unable to implement farm development plans in accordance
  with the provisions of       i recti ve 72 / 159 / EEC . The general economic develop -     -
  ment of the region , however , depends to a very large extent on the accelera­
  tion of agricultural development .
  Agricultural structure in the less favoured areas is very deficient .              Land
  drainage problems restrict        the annual growing season by several months and
  so limits farm production possibilities .            Field drainage , land reclamation
  and pasture improvement are basic prerequisites , therefore , to the stimula­
  tion of agricultural development in the region .            In addition , the improvement
                                                                       – .

of agricultural and local roads , whose current condition is very inade­
quate , is of vital importance in this regard .
Because of the limited production possibilities , in the less favoured
areas of Northern Ireland , beef cattle and sheep production offer one
of the few means of agricultural development there .   Both enterprises
have been declining in recent years , however , and so their revitalisa-
tion will now require special financial inducements to be granted within
the framework of a specific action for farm improvement .   Such financial
inducements to be given in the form of production premiums are additional
to a special   system of aids for farm improvement and are designed to
upgrade the genetic merit of breeding stock .   The programme for the de-'
velopment of agriculture in the less favoured areas of Northern Ireland ,
as presented herewith , thus , comprises three specific measures which
together constitute the framework within which this development shall
take place .  These measures are :
- the improvement of agricultural and local roads ;
- land improvement , including field drainage , land reclamation and
  pasture improvement ;
- the development and orientation of farm production .
Because of the acuteness of the structural problems in this peripheral
region of the Community , allied to the need to stimulate the development
of npn-dairying farm enterprises and to ensure the rapid implementation
of the measures as outlined , a rate of Community subvention of 50 % is
proposed .

          stimulation of Agricultural- development in the
          less favoured areas of Northern Ireland .
THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community , and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ,
Whereas Article 39 ( 2 ) ( a) of the Treaty provides that account should
be taken of the social structure of agriculture and the structural and :
natural disparities between agricultural regions in determining the .
common agricultural policy;
Whereas to achieve the objectives of the common agricultural policy
as set out in Article 39(l ) (a) and (b ) of the Treaty measures
appropriate to the production conditions of the less favoured areas
should be adopted at Community level ;
Whereas in the less favoured areas of Northern Ireland within the
meaning of Directive 75/276/EEC concerning the Community list of less
favoured areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC^^ there is
much underemployment in agriculture ;
Whereas because of a lack of alternative employment opportunities
the percentage of the active population in farming is relatively high ;
Whereas because of the relative poor quality of the land in these areas
allied to adverse climatic conditions , the level of farm incomes is
relatively low ;
( 1)0J N° L 128 19.5.1975 , P. 231
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the continuing development of agriculture is of vital
importance to the general development of the regional economy ;
Whereas agricultural structure is deficient in these areas ;
Whereas the existing state of agricultural and local roads is very
inadequate ; whereas the provision or improvement of such amenities
is an important prerequisite to the development of agricultural
structure ;
Whereas the possibilies for improving agricultural production in these
areas are severely limited by a lack of adequate field drainage ;
whereas the need for other types of land improvement including land
reclamation , pasture improvement and the removal of superfluous fences ,
ditches and walls is of equal importance in this regard ;
Whereas experience to date with the implementation of Council Directive
72/159/EK) on the modernisation of farms^"1"^ shows that relatively few
farmers in these areas , because of their existing low income levels ,
are capable of implementing farm development plans aimed at attaining
the level of comparable income referred to in Article 4 ( l ) of this
Directive :
( 1 ) OJ N° L 96 , 24.4.1972 , P. 1
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas in such circumstances the development of farms through the
initiation of physical improvement programmes is worthy of special
consideration ;
Whereas the physical improvement of , farms is "best undertaken within
the framework of a special action emphasising in particular the
production of beef cattle and sheep , which , because of the limited
production possibilities of the areas , offers one of the few means of
agricultural development ;
Whereas in recent years cattle and sheep production have been declining
and , as a result , a special system of premiums payable on breeding
stock will now be necessary to reverse this trend ;
Whereas because of economic and budgetary constraints the United
Kingdom does not have sufficient means to finance such a programme
and in the circumstances Community financial help will be required ; ■
                                                                     \
Whereas aid from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund
at an estimated cost of 57 million European units of account over a
period of 10 years can help ensure the rational development of agriculture
in the less favoured areas of Northern Ireland ;
Whereas it follows that the foregoing measures constitute a common
measure within the meaning of Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC ) _
N° 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural
policy        as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) n° 2788/72^;
Whereas to facilitate the further implementation of certain proposed
measures , a procedure establishing close cooperation between the Member
States and the Commission should be introduced ; whereas the appropriate
body for ensuring such cooperation i » the Standing Committee on Agricultural
Structure set up under Article 1 , of the Council Decision of 4 December 1962
on the coordination of the common agricultural policy
