COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 1247/85
of 13 May 1985
amending Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural and fishery products are processed and marketed
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Article 24 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1932/84 (3), provides for a transitional period in order to permit a financial contribution by the Community to projects submitted before 31 December 1984 under programmes due to expire before 31 December 1984 before a new programme or the updating of the programme is approved;
Whereas in view of the large number of programmes which expired on 31 December 1984, the transitional period should be extended until 30 April 1985 so that the projects can be financed in 1985;
Whereas the special circumstances brought about by the expiry of the duration envisaged for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 in 1984 justify making it possible, by way of exception, to carry forward, a second time, the projects submitted for financing in 1984,
