COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2807/88
of 9 September 1988
amending Regulation (EEC) No 771/74 laying down detailed rules for granting aid for flax and hemp
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70 of 29 June 1970 on the common organization of the market in flax and hemp (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3995/87 (2), and in particular Article 2 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70 stipulates that in order to encourage the marketing of flax products, Community measures promoting the use of flax fibres and of products obtained from such fibres may be taken;
Whereas, in the interests of proper management, it is appropriate that schemes to promote the consumption of flax fibres to be approved by the Commission should be executed within a detailed programme to be established after consulting the Member States and, where appropriate, the relevant trade interests; whereas, with this same objective in view, practical execution of the schemes according to procedures appropriate to their specific technical features should be provided for;
Whereas the various proposals submitted under the agreed procedures must be assessed according to criteria allowing of the best possible choice; whereas, to that end, open or restricted invitations to tender appear to be the most appropriate procedure; whereas, however, for schemes which call for an in-depth knowledge of the flax sector, direct agreement with the trade or inter-branch associations in the sector may be considered the most suitable procedure;
Whereas the Member States should be informed of the Commission's choices and of the progress of the schemes selected;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 771/74 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2117/88 (4), should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
