COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3642/85

of 19 December 1985

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Whereas Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1332/84 (4), provides that Member States may grant aid to recognized producers' organizations to encourage their formation and to facilitate their administrative operation;

Whereas Article 36 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 lays down the Community contribution to the aids granted by the Member States in accordance with Article 14; whereas, as a result of a copying error, the reference to Article 14 (1a) of the said Regulation was not amended and Article 14 (3) was not formally cited; whereas, therefore, in order to ensure that the Community share of these aids is paid, Article 36 (2) must be amended retroactively,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
