(85/27/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 of 15 February 1977 on common measures to improve the conditions under which agricultural products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1932/84 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas, on 21 December 1983, the United Kingdom Government notified its specific programme for the eggs and poultrymeat sector in England and Wales;
Whereas the said programme concerns:
- as regards poultrymeat: the investments needed to set up a modern, efficient and competitive poultrymeat processing industry,
- as regards eggs and egg products: the investments required, in particular, to rationalize and modernize this sector and to adapt it to Community health protection standards;
whereas the said programme therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;
Whereas approval of the programme will not affect the decisions to be taken under Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 in the matter of the Community financing of projects, especially those involving an increase in capacities for the grading and packaging of eggs or the slaughter of poultry;
Whereas the programme provides enough of the details referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, demonstrating that the objectives of Article 1 of the said Regulation can be achieved in the sectors concerned; whereas the period fixed for the execution of the programme does not exceed that laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of the said Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The specific programme for the eggs and poultrymeat sector in England and Wales, notified by the United Kingdom Government on 21 December 1983 in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, is hereby approved.
