THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), and in particular Articles 4 and 5 (2) thereof,
Whereas the outcome of the meetings held with the Italian authorities on the progress of the multiannual guidance programme as defined by Commission Decision 88/140/EEC (2) have been taken into account;
Whereas the periodic information on the entry into service of new fishing vessels in 1987 and in the first six months of 1988 has not been provided on repeated occasions;
Whereas Italy has forwarded to the Commission a new statistical basis relating to the Italian fishing fleet;
Whereas the process of fleet adjustment which has now been started and the implementation by Italy of measures for the effective control of fishing fleet capacity will require some time;
Whereas the Commission intends to support Italy's efforts to restructure its fleet when the administrative or legislative measures taken show results which confirm that structural change is taken place as planned and leading to the achievement of the objectives set by Decision 88/140/EEC by 31 December 1991 at the latest;
Whereas, to deal with derogations from the principle that Stade aid in the fisheries sector is incompatible with the common market, the Commission has adopted guidelines for the examination of national aid in the fisheries sector (3);
Whereas the Italian authorities have recently adopted a national fisheries plan which rules out the grant of Community, national or regional aid for vessels using trawls;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
