COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 619/84
of 5 March 1984
extending the common measure provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1975/82 on the acceleration of agricultural development in certain regions of Greece
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1975/82 (3) applies only to certain less-favoured areas defined in Council Directive 81/645/EEC of 20 July 1981 concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (Greece) (4);
Whereas on 24 March 1983 the Commission forwarded proposals to the Council dealing with, among other subjects, the future development of agricultural structures in Greece;
Whereas, to ensure the effective implementation of Community schemes to improve agricultural structures in Greece which have already been adopted by the Council or will be adopted in future, it is necessary to embark immediately upon a number of projects of infrastructure improvement, irrigation and drainage and forestry improvement;
Whereas, therefore, the corresponding measures provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 1975/82 should be extended to include all rural areas of Greece;
Whereas such an extension is particularly important in the interests of the Community as a whole; whereas the measures concerned therefore constitute a common measure within the meaning of Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3509/80 (6),
