(2) Whereas, in order to relieve the situation of the producers concerned, exceptional provision should be made for the 1999/2000 marketing year allowing amendments to be made to areas declared as set aside;
(3) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Fund Committee,
