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 and fish products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1932/84 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany has, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, forwarded the programme on the marketing of cattle submitted by North Rhine Westphalia;

Whereas the said programme is designed primarily to introduce a continuous yield-monitoring system for dairy cattle by setting up a monitoring station in order to improve dairy breeds and increase the yield per cow; whereas it does not, therefore, relate to any of the measures specified in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas, moreover, the programme relates to a single project only; whereas it does not, therefore, meet the objectives laid down in Articles 1 and 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,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
