COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1153/78  of 30 May 1978  amending Regulation (EEC) No 2517/69 laying down certain measures for reorganizing Community fruit production
THE COUNCIL OF 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 (1),
Whereas under Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2517/69 of 9 December 1969 laying down certain measures for reorganizing Community fruit production (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 794/76 (3), all national aid intended to encourage directly or indirectly the planting or replanting of apple, pear or peach orchards is forbidden;
Whereas it would nevertheless be useful to encourage the conversion of existing orchards to varieties which are better suited to regional production conditions and to changes in demand ; whereas, to that end, it would be appropriate to lift the ban on Member States granting national aid for the replanting of apple, pear and peach orchards,
