COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2021/98 of 23 September 1998 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 laying down detailed rules concerning the aid for fibre flax and hemp
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70 of 29 June 1970 on the common organisation of the market in flax and hemp (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 2(6) thereof,
Whereas Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1517/98 (4), lays down the procedures for selecting the bodies responsible for carrying out promotional measures in the flax sector, and whereas in view of the importance of studies assessing those measures, those procedures should also apply to the selection of the bodies responsible for those studies;
Whereas experience has shown that certain promotional measures requiring a specialised knowledge of the use of flax fibres and products obtained from them fall within the scope of the activities of trade or inter-branch organisations in the flax sector, and whereas, as a result, such measures should receive Community assistance instead of being financed under the public contracts procedure, where the Commission recognises the usefulness of such measures;
Whereas, as a result, Regulation (EEC) No 1164/89 should be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
