1 . General Regulation (EEC ) n°                  of ........ .,on the
financing "by the Guidance Section of the European Agricultural Guidance
and Guarantee Fund of projects falling within programmes for : the develop­
ment of priority agricultural regions provides for the introduction of
a system of regional development incentives to promote the creation
of employment in regions having a substantial surplus of agricultural
workers . If the means of doing this are to be effective ,/ they must be
concentrated on a limited number of agricultural regions for priority
development .
2 . To this end , Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC ) n°
provides that the Council , acting in accordance with the voting
procedure laid down in Article 43 of the Treaty on a proposal from the
Commission , shall determine the list of priority agricultural regions
             '                                                r-
in the light of the following criteria in particular :
- the percentage of the working population engaged in agriculture must
   be higher there than the Community average ;
- the gross per capita domestic product at factor cost must be lower
    there than the Community average ;
- the percentage of the working population engaged in industry must be
    lower there than the Community average .
This Article further provides that the Council , acting in accordance
with the voting procedure laid down in Article 43 of "the Treaty on a
proposal from the Commission , may also designate as priority regions
within the meaning of the Regulation , zones which satisfy the three
criteria set out where there is a substantial surplus of agricultural
workers although aitui-ted in a region not meeting the three criteria ( l ).

3 . The three abovementioned Community averages are based on national
    statistics sent to the Commission by the Member States . In.l971 »
    the Community average of the working population engaged in
    agriculture was 9,8 i°i "the Community average gross per capita
    domestic product at factor cost was 2.420 units of account . and the
    Community average of the worting population engaged in . industry
    was 43,9
4 . Following consultations between the Commission departments and
    the Member States' national "administration's , it has been possible
    to verify regional statistics so as to compare them with the
    Community averages and to take account of additional analytical
    factors for the purpose 'of drawing up the list' bf priority agricul-
    ral regions and zones set out in this Regulation .
5 . A map showing the proposed regions and zones is annexed to this
    explanatory memorandum .
