Whereas Council Directive 75/271/EEC of 28 April 1975 concerning the Community list of less-favoured areas within the meaning of Directive 75/271/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 86/655/EEC (4), describes the regions of France included on the Community list of less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC;
