Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the particular characteristics of the Greek economy, from the point of view both of its state of development and its structures, make exceptional Community financial support necessary, particularly in the social field;
Whereas the Hellenic Republic should be provided with financial support for the construction, adaptation and equipment of vocational training centres, on the one hand, and of centres for the rehabilitation of the mentally ill and mentally handicapped with a view to their vocational rehabilitation, on the other;
Whereas, as regards the vocational training centres, the financial support should be restricted to urban zones of highest population density (Athens and Salonica) in which the European Regional Development Fund cannot assist;
Whereas it is necessary, to ensure a coherent concept and optimal utilization of resources, that the projects to benefit from the Community financial support form part of programmes;
Whereas the construction, adaptation and equipment of vocational training centres, on the one hand, and of centres for the rehabilitation of the mentally ill and mentally handicapped with a view to their vocational rehabilitation, on the other, contribute to the achievement of Community objectives in the social field and the improvement of the conditions for the Hellenic Republic's access to aid from the European Social Fund;
Whereas the Treaty has not provided for the specific powers of action for the adoption of this Regulation,
