THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1152/90 fo 27 April 1990 instituting a system of aid in favour of small cotton producers (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2054/92 (2), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 2 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2048/90 of 18 July 1990 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3023/93 (4), lays down certain conditions for the granting of the aid to ensure that the system functions properly; whereas it  has become apparent that the aim sought, namely the granting of aid to producers of cotton who grow cotton on a area of not more than 2,5 hectares, is being circumvented in certain cases by the fictional breakdown of areas in excess of that maximum area  to allow aid applications to be submitted by non-authentic small producers on behalf of the real producers; whereas, in order to avoid this undesirable trend, provision should be made for the aid to be granted only to small producers who produce cotton  on their own account;
