COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1208/87
of 30 April 1987
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 laying down detailed rules for the application of special measures in respect of linseed
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 of 15 March 1976 laying down special measures for linseed (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1071/77 (2), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 (3) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2888/86 (4), provides that growers of seed flax shall submit their crop declarations by 31 December each year; whereas, for reasons of administrative convenience, 15 December would be a more appropriate deadline;
Whereas Article 17 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 provides that producer Member States shall before 31 December each year inform the Commission of the areas of flax harvested; whereas maintaining that deadline would allow insufficient time for producer Member States to assemble the information from growers' crop declarations; whereas Article 17 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 should be amended in consequence;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
