Whereas on 9 July 1986 the Belgian Government forwarded an addendum to the programme approved by Commission Decision 81/322/EEC (3) relating to the processing and marketing of flax and on 5 March 1987 submitted supplementary information;
Whereas the aim of the addendum to the programme is to modernize and rationalize harvesting, transport, packaging, processing and marketing facilities for flax so as to increase the competitiveness of the sector and add value to its products; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas the product in question, the structural situation in the regions concerned and the conditions of competition allow the participation of the Fund for the special harvesting equipment for flax, within the terms of Article 5 (2) of the abovementioned Regulation;
Whereas approval cannot be given for shives, which are products not covered by Annex II to the Treaty;
Whereas the addendum contains sufficient information, as required in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, to show that the objectives of Article 1 of the Regulation can be achieved in the flax sector in Belgium; whereas the estimated time required for execution of the addendum does not exceed the limits laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of the Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
