THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 (2), and in particular Article 2 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Whereas Directive 81/645/EEC (4), as last amended by Directive 85/148/EEC (5), specifies the areas in Greece which qualify as less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas the Government of the Hellenic Republic has, pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, communicated to the Commission the names of new areas which are suitable for inclusion in the Community list
of less-favoured farming areas and information on the characteristics of those areas; whereas, moreover, the special aid scheme operating in less-favoured areas will be extended to the new areas;
Whereas, as the communication referred to above shows,
an area is in keeping with the criteria and data set out
in Directive 81/645/EEC, for determining the areas concerned within the meaning of Article 3 (4) of Directive 75/268/EEC; whereas the said area should therefore be added to the Community list of less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) of  Directive 75/268/EEC,
