THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (2), and in particular Article 13 (4) thereof,
Whereas, by insertion of Article 12a into Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71, introduced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2780/90 (3), another reference was made to the granting of aid to hop producers; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1037/72 of 18 May 1972  laying down detailed rules for granting and financing of aid for hop producers (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1604/91 (5), was amended accordingly; whereas it is necessary to amend Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1350/72 (6), as last amended  by Regulation (EEC) No 2988/90 (7), in order to take account of the new provisions with regard to the granting of aid to hop producers;
Whereas Article 4 (2) of Regulation 1035/72 makes reference to unions of producer groups which implies that these unions may be entitled to receive and to administer the aid to producers; whereas such a procedure does not comply with Article 12 (3) of  Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71; whereas all reference made to unions of producer groups in Regulation (EEC) No 1350/72 should therefore be deleted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Hops,
