          Proposal for a Council Regulation laying down , in respect of hops ,
               the amount of aid to producers for the 1986 harvest and
                   special measures for certain regions of production
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Econpmic Community , and
in particular Articles A2 and A3 thereof ,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal ,
Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1696 / 71 of 26 July 1971 on the
common organization of the market in hops ( l ), as last amended by Regulation
( EEC ) No 3800 / 85 ( 2 ), and in particular Article 12(7 ) thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ( 3 ),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ( A ),
Whereas Article 12 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1696 / 71 provides that aid may be
granted to hop producers to enable them to achieve a fair income ; whereas the
amount of this aid is fixed per hectare and differs according to groups of
varieties , taking into account the average return on the areas in full
production compared with the average returns for previous harvests , the
current position of the market and price trends ;
Whereas an examination of the results of the 1986 harvest shows the need to
fix aid for certain groups of varieties of hops cultivated in the Community ;
( 1 ) OJ No L 175 , A. 8 . 1971 , p. 1 .
( 2 ) OJ No L 367 , 31.12.1985 , p. 32 .
( 3 ) OJ No C
(A )
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas , pursuant to Art ides 105 and 299 of the Act of Accession of Spain and
Portugal , aid for hops cultivated in Spain and Portugal will be granted as
from the 1986 harvest ;
Whereas  the Community market in bitter varieties of hops is in disequilibrium
because  it is not these varieties that are in demand ; whereas in certain
regions  production consists mainly of bitter varieties and is declining ;
whereas  measures aimed at changing the production structures in these regions
through conversion to more sought after varieties should therefore be adopted ;
whereas the granting of aid to enable producers to carry out varietal
conversion work seems an appropriate measure ; whereas the aid should be
granted to recognized producer groups in the regions concerned whose members
undertake to carry out the measures in question ; whereas this measure should
be laid down for a specified period ; whereas for the sake of impartiality and
so that the measure will achieve the desired purpose each Member State should
be restricted to the same maximum conversion area ; whereas , in order to
achieve the desired results , it should be laid down that there may not be any
expansion of the areas under hops cultivated by producer groups receiving aid
under this measure ;
Whereas Member States should be allowed to make a limited financial
contribution to varietal conversion plans ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                                      Article 1
 1 . For the 1986 harvest , aid shall be granted to the producers of hops
     cultivated in the Community for the groups of varieties set out in the
     Annex .
 2 . The amount of the aid shall be as set out in the Annex .

      of which undertake to implement before 31 December 1990 a plan for
      conversion to aromatic or super-alpha type varieties . This special aid
      shall be given for a total area of no more than 200 hectares in each
      Member State concrned .
  2.  Member States may make a financial contribution to the conversion plans
      indicated in paragraph 1 . This aid plus the special aid indicated in

  3.  Member States shall notify the Commission of the legislative , regulatory
      and administrative provisions that they intend to adopt in order to apply
      this Regulation .
  6.  Producer groups shall receive the special aid on condition that during the
      period 1988 to 1990 the area under hops cultivated by them does not exceed
      the area cultivated in 1986 .
  5.  Tlans must be incorporated in a programme transmitted by the Member State
      to the Commission . Programmes shall be approved by the produce indicated
      in paragraph 6 on the basis of the economic value of the planned
      conversion .
  6.  Rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted by the
      procedure laid down in Article 20 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1696 / 71 .
                                        Article 3
