Whereas, under Article 25 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 797/85, the Commission has to decide whether the conditions are met for a financial contribution from the Community in the light of the compatibility of the said provisions with the abovementioned Regulation, and bearing in mind the objectives of the latter and the need to ensure that the various measures are properly related;

Whereas the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures,

Article 1
Account being taken of the Order of the Regional Executive of Wallonia of 20 November 1986, the measures taken in Belgium pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 continue to satisfy the conditions governing a Community financial contribution to the common measure provided for in Article 1 of that Regulation.
The Compensatory financial contribution to the additional setting-up premium of the Region of Wallonia may be granted, however, only to the extent that the application of the setting-up premium at national level, as provided for in Article 13 of the Belgian Royal Decree of 3 March 1986, leaves a margin for an additional Community contribution, account being taken of the maximum amount eligible pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/85.
