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 1984 harvest shows the need to fix aid for certain groups of varieties of hops cultivated in the Community;
Whereas hops cultivated in Greece are eligible for Community aid as from the 1981 harvest; whereas, pursuant to Article 90 of the 1979 Act of Accession, Article 68 of that Act applies for the purposes of calculating the amount of hop sector aid for hops produced in Greece,
