Whereas on 24 February 1986 the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany forwarded a programme on the reception and storage of cereals, rape and seed legumes in the Land of Bavaria;

Whereas the aim of the programme is to extend, adapt and modernize storage and reception facilities, including the ancillary equipment required for the marketing of cereals, rape and seed legumes in such a way as to ensure that the products concerned are properly preserved and that homogeneous lots are rapidly made up, and to enhance the value of these products and make the sector more competitive; whereas it is therefore a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

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