Council Regulation (EEC) No 867/90 of 29 March 1990 on improving the processing and marketing conditions for forestry products

COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 867/90
of 29 March 1990
on improving the processing and marketing conditions for forestry products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42, 43 and 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Community efforts to decrease, through the creation and development of alternative forestry activities for farmers, the output of products which are in surplus can produce the desired effects only if they are accompanied by measures to promote certain activities involving the primary processing and the marketing of forestry products;
Whereas the eighth indent of Article 2 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4256/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the EAGGF Guidance Section (4) provides that the contribution by the EAGGF Guidance Section to measures to speed up the adjustment of agricultural structures with a view to the reform of the common agricultural policy may concern measures to improve the marketing and processing of agricultural and forestry products;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 866/90 (5) at present concerns only the improvement of the conditions under which agricultural products are processed and marketed;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1612/89 of 29 May 1989 introducing provisional measures to improve the conditions under which forestry products are processed and marketed (6) provided for the measure introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4256/88, to be temporarily extended to forestry products until adaptation of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 866/90 replaces Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 as from 1 January 1990 and Regulation (EEC) No 1612/89 therefore no longer serves any purpose; whereas it is therefore necessary to extend the measure provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 866/90 to the forestry sector,
