Whereas Council Directive 75/272/EEC of 28 April 1975 concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (Ireland) (3), as amended by Commission Decision 77/5/EEC (4), identifies the areas in Ireland included in the Community list of less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas the Government of Ireland has applied under Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC:    - for adjustment of the boundaries of the areas listed in the Annex to Directive 75/272/EEC, as shown in the Annex hereto;
- for inclusion of a further area (the Slieve Felim area), totalling 31 583 ha UAA, in the list of areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) of Directive 75/268/EEC which is contained in the Annex to Directive 75/272/EEC;

Whereas the new area applied for (the Slieve Felim area) does not fully meet the abovementioned criteria ; whereas, nevertheless, its specific disadvantages, especially its steep slopes, unfavourable natural conditions for farming and poor drainage, permit it to be classified as an area within the meaning of Article 3 (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC which may be ranked with less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) of the Directive ; whereas the area in question is only 0 753 % of the total surface area of Ireland and thus less than 2 75 % of it;
Whereas the adjustments applied for by the Irish Government do not have the combined effect of increasing the utilized agricultural area of all the listed areas by more than 1 75 % of the total utilized agricultural area of Ireland;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;  (1) OJ No L 128, 19.5.1975, p. 1. (2) OJ No L 180, 14.7.1980, p. 34. (3) OJ No L 128, 19.5.1975, p. 68. (4) OJ No L 3, 5.1.1977, p. 15.
