COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1941/81 of 30 June 1981 on an integrated development programme for the less-favoured areas of Belgium
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the general socio-economic situation in the less-favoured agricultural areas of Belgium within the meaning of Directive 75/269/EEC (2) is particularly unfavourable ; whereas improvement of this situation requires that the available funds and measures should be brought together and implemented in an integrated manner;
Whereas the Community has at its disposal sources of action arising from its financing possibilities, notably from the European Social Fund and from the European Regional Development Fund ; whereas it is suitable, taking account of the situation in that region, to supplement these measures by the intervention of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund under a common measure within the meaning of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3), as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3509/80 (4);
Whereas the implementation of this common measure requires the combining, by way of adequate procedures, of the various means available within the context of an integrated development programme;
Whereas this programme is to be prepared by the Kingdom of Belgium;
Whereas there should be a Community financial contribution to certain measures vital for the implementation of the programme with the aim of improving agricultural structures, which are particularly deficient in the area concerned,
