Whereas Council Directive 75/271/EEC of 28 April 1975 concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (France) (3), as last amended by the Commission Decision 85/599/EEC (4), identifies the areas in France included in the Community list of less-favoured areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC;

Whereas the transfer of certain areas already listed as areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC to the list of the areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3) of the same Directive is in accordance with the indices and the values, including the criteria for exceptions, used in Directive 75/271/EEC to define mountain areas;
Whereas the totality of the adjustments requested by the French Government pursuant to Article 2 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC do not lead to an increase of the utilized agricultural areas of all the listed areas and consequently have no effect on the limit fixed in the said Article;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
