THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 (2), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Directive 75/271/EEC of 28 April 1975 concerning the list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (3), as last amended by Commission Decision 87/348/EEC (4), specifies the regions in France which are on the Community list of less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas the French Government has applied, pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, for an adjustment of the boundaries of the less-favoured areas listed in the Annex to Directive 75/271/EEC;
Whereas the transfer of certain areas already listed as areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC to the list of areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3) of that Directive is in accordance with the indices and the values, including the criteria for exceptions, used in Directive 75/271/EEC to define mountain areas;
Whereas the adjustments requested by the French Government pursuant to Article 2 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC do not have the combined effect of increasing the utilized agricultural area of the less-favoured areas as a whole and do not, therefore, affect the maximum figure referred to in that Article;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,
