THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Whereas on 19 August 1986 the Irish Government forwarded an addendum to the programme approved by Commission Decision 80/655/EEC (3) relating to the cereals sector in Ireland;

Whereas the addendum to the programme relates to the modernization and expansion of capacity for the treatment and conditioning of cereal seed, the modernization and expansion of capacity for the storage and treatment of compound feedingstuffs, in order to improve the competitive position of the sector and enhance the value of its products; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas approval of the programme cannot extend to any expansion of production capacity for feedingstuffs;

Whereas the addendum contains sufficient information, as required in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, to show that the objectives of Article 1 of the Regulation can be achieved in respect of the cereals sector in Ireland; whereas the estimated time required for execution of the addendum does not exceed the limits laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of the 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
