COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 83/515/83 of 4 October 1983 concerning certain measures to adjust capacity in the fisheries sector (1), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,
Whereas the United Kingdom intends to introduce a system of financial aids for measures involving temporary or permanent reductions of production capacity; whereas, on 15 November 1983, it communicated the information concerning this scheme required under Article 6 of Directive 83/515/EEC;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 7 of the Directive, the Commission has considered whether, on the basis of their conformity with the Directive and taking account of the other structural measures existing or planned in the fisheries sector, the measures contemplated fulfil the conditions for financial contributions from the Community;
Whereas this Decision does not relate to national aid referred to in Article 12 of the Directive;
Whereas the provisions of this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
The measures which the United Kingdom intends to take to implement a financial aid scheme for measures involving temporary and permanent reductions of production capacity fulfil the conditions for financial contributions from the Community.

COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 1976/85
of 16 July 1985
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 laying down the general rules for the system of aid for cotton
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the 1979 Act of Accession, and in particular paragraph 9 of Protocol 4 on cotton, referred to below as 'the Protocol',
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Protocol provides for the granting of an aid for cotton production, the amount of which is established on the basis of the difference existing between a guide price and the world market price for unginned cotton; whereas for determination of the latter the price of cotton seed is an important factor;
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1462/84 (2), lays down that, in view of the system of import control applicable in Greece until the end of 1983 that was introduced under Article 82 of the 1979 Act of Accession and by derogation from the said first subparagraph of Article 4 (1), until the end of the 1984/85 marketing year account is to be taken for determination of the world market price for cotton seed of prices and quotations recorded on the Greek market;
Whereas the second subparagraph of paragraph 4 of the same Article lays down that by derogation from the first subparagraph of that paragraph until the end of the 1984/85 marketing year offers and quotations recorded on the principal Greek exchanges for the products referred to in the first subparagraph of that paragraph are to be taken into consideration;
Whereas, despite termination of the system of import control applicable in Greece at the end of 1983, offers on the world market for cotton seed and cotton seed oil and prices quoted on the major international exchanges are likely not to become representative for the trend of the Community market in these products during the 1985/86 marketing year;
Whereas, in order to guarantee the correct application of the system of aid for cotton during the marketing year in question, the derogation laid down in the second subparagraph of paragraphs 1 and 4 of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 should be extended for a further marketing year,
In the second subparagraph of Article 4 (1) and in the second subparagraph of Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81, '1984/85' is hereby replaced by '1985/86'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
