THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1787/84 of 19 June 1984 on the European Regional Development Fund (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3641/85 (2), and in particular Articles 10 to 14 thereof,
Whereas the Italian Government, acting in accordance with Article 5 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2088/85 (3), presented to the Commission on 30 December 1986 an IMP for Sicily with a view to securing part-financing by the Community;
Whereas the Commission, by decision of 12 October 1988, approved the IMP for Sicily pursuant to Article 7 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2088/85;
Whereas the IMP for Sicily includes a series of measures that display the characteristics of a national programme of Community interest (NPCI) within the meaning of Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1787/84; whereas those measures may, therefore, benefit from a contribution from the European Regional Development Fund;
Whereas presentation of the IMP for Sicily may, under the circumstances, be regarded as constituting the submission of an application for financing in respect of the said measures; whereas the date of 30 December 1986 may, therefore, be taken to be the date of submission of the application pursuant to Article 11 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1787/84;
Whereas the NPCI, like the IMP for Sicily, covers the period from 1 January 1988 to 31 December 1992 inclusive;
Whereas, on the basis of the rates of Community contribution laid down in the IMP for Sicily, as approved by the Commission in accordance with the provisions governing the various methods of Community financing, a maximum contribution of ECU 43 965 000 may be granted to the Italian Government for this NPCI;
Whereas the budget commitments relating to the implementation of the NPCI will be effected in annual instalments in accordance with Article 25 of Regulation (EEC) No 1787/84;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 7 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2088/85 and by way of derogation from Article 11 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1787/84, the Advisory Committee set up by the said Article 7 has been consulted and has given a favourable opinion;
Whereas all the other conditions for the granting of a contribution from the European Regional Development Fund are met,
