COMMISSION DECISION of 7 June 1995 amending Decision  95/32/EC approving the Austrian programme for the implementation of Article 138 of the Act  concerning the conditions of accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the  Kingdom of Sweden (Only the German text is authentic) (95/209/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF  THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the  Kingdom of Sweden, and in particular Article 138 thereof,
Whereas on 8 November 1994 Austria notified the Commission, pursuant to Article 143 of the Act of  Accession, the Austrian programme for the implementation of its Article 138 aids for a number of  products for the period 1995 to 1999 inclusive;
Whereas this programme, as amended by letter dated 16 December 1994, was approved by Commission  Decision 95/32/EC  (1);
Whereas on 7, 19 and 30 March 1995 Austria notified the Commission, pursuant to Article 143 of the  Act of Accession, requests for Commission authorization to amend that programme; whereas these  requests were subject to amendment by letter dated 12 April 1995;
Whereas the first request involves an increase in the rate of aid for milk producers in Steiermark,  Burgenland, Kaernten and Niederoesterreich where milk production is important to the local economy  but difficult; whereas developments in these mountainous regions in the early part of this year  justify that increase in order to fulfil adequately the objective of attenuating the reduction of  support referred to in Article 138 (2) first indent of the Act of Accession; whereas this increase  is in accordance with the provisions of the Act of Accession and in particular those of Article 138  (1) second subparagraph thereof;
Whereas the second request involves products, namely seeds, not included in Decision No 95/32/EC;  whereas that Decision in its Article 3 refers to possible further decisions for products not  covered by it; whereas the request for aid for these products is in accordance with the provisions  of the Act of Accession and in particular Article 138 thereof; whereas the form of the aid on the  basis of area reflects principles of the reformed common agricultural policy and so may be deemed  to be appropriate;
Whereas the third request is for the Commission to amend the designation of potatoes for starch  included in Decision 95/32/EC; whereas this request constitutes a technical correction;
Whereas the fourth request involves products, namely arable crops, some of which are included in  Decision No 95/32/EC under specific designations; whereas these designated crops do not include a  number of arable crops where significant reductions in support have occurred as a result of  application of the common agricultural policy; whereas for most arable crops there is no need to  differentiate the aid rates between the various products and consequently a standard rate of aid  may be determined for such crops; whereas the request for aid for arable crops is in accordance  with the provisions of the Act of Accession, and in particular Article 138 thereof; whereas the aid  remains on an area basis and therefore the form of the aid may be deemed to be appropriate,
The Annex to Decision 95/32/EC is replaced by the Annex to the  present Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Austria.
