COMMISSION  DECISION
of 15 December 1986
on the extension of the multiannual guidance programme for 1986 in respect of aquaculture submitted by the Federal Republic of Germany pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2908/83
(Only the German text is authentic)
(87/39/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2908/83 of 4 October 1983 on a common measure for restructuring, modernizing and developing the fishing industry and for developing aquaculture (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas the 1983/85 programme preceded the presentation to the Commission of an expert study of the Community market for trout and carp;
Whereas on 13 January 1986 the German Government forwarded a prolongation of the multiannual guidance programme in respect of aquaculture;
Whereas, in accordance with the first paragraph of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2908/83, the time required for the execution of the programme covers at least the proposed duration of the common measure;
Whereas the programme contains the information referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2908/83;
Whereas a feature of aquaculture in Germany is the very slight development of fish farming in sea waters; whereas almost all fish farming in Germany is carried out in fresh water and mainly involves the rearing of trout and carp;
Whereas the programme proposes chiefly to rationalize and develop trout and carp rearing and, to a lesser extent, to increase freshwater production of other species;
Whereas the Commission cannot approve that part of the programme relating to trout and carp in view of the difficult situation in the Community for these products, except for certain projects to modernize existing installations, particularly those which reduce pollution and mortality rates;
Whereas the programme may, having regard to production potential, the demand for the products concerned and the guidelines of the common fisheries policy, constitute a suitable framework for projects which may qualify for financial support from the Community;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
