THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,

Whereas the production of linseed is becoming of increasing interest to the Community ; whereas, in order to promote the development of this production, which is subjected to direct competition from linseed imported from third countries duty free, provision should be made for appropriate measures of support;
Whereas to this end the marketing of Community crops must ensure producers a fair income, the level of which may be defined by a guide price ; whereas the difference between this price and the price ascertained for linseed on the world market corresponds to the amount of the subsidy which should be granted in order to achieve the desired objective;
Whereas provision should be made to ensure that expenditure incurred by Member States as a result of the obligations arising out of the application of this Regulation becomes a charge on the Community in accordance with the regulations on the financing of the common agricultural policy,
