Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 619/71 of 22 March 1971 laying down general rules for granting aid for flax and hemp (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1420/98 (4), and in particular Article 6a thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 619/71 stipulates that, as conditions for the grant of aid for hemp, a contract must be concluded between the grower and primary processor except in certain specific cases, there must be an undertaking to process and the primary processors must be approved;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 619/71 stipulates that transitional measures can be adopted if strictly necessary to facilitate the implementation of the provisions introduced by Regulation (EC) No 1420/98; whereas in view of the time needed to implement the said provisions and to enable operators to adapt to the new system, it will not be possible to apply the conditions referred to in the first and second subparagraphs of Article 3(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 619/71 in the 1998/99 marketing year; whereas, as a result, the one condition that the aid be paid only to the grower should be imposed as a transitional measure for that marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
The first and second subparagraphs of Article 3(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 619/71 shall not apply to the aid scheme for hemp in the 1998/99 marketing year. However, the aid shall be granted only to the grower.

Whereas, during the 1996/97 marketing year, the Greek intervention agency encountered difficulties in setting up an effective storage, control and reception system for the goods; whereas there were consequently delays in the acceptance of offers submitted and the taking over of deliveries; whereas the difficulties encountered during the 1996/97 marketing year justify granting Greece a derogation from the deadline laid down by the abovementioned Article for delivery to the intervention agency;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
Notwithstanding Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1528/96, the effective delivery of paddy rice for taking over by the Greek intervention agency during the 1996/97 marketing year must take place by 30 September 1997.
