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 fishery products are processed and marketed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 560/87 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas on 19 December 1986 the Italian Government forwarded an addendum to the programme approved by Commission Decision 83/602/EEC (3) relating to the marketing of agricultural products;

Whereas the addendum is a satisfactory follow-up to the programme to supplement the specific programmes approved by the Commission relating to the marketing of the various products; whereas it relates in particular to marketing centres, including storage refrigeration, packaging, loading and unloading of products with a view to increasing the commercial role of the agricultural operators and to bringing it into line with market requirements and establishing data-processing networks to improve and rationalize information on goods and transactions relating to such marketing; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the approval of the addendum does not affect the decisions to the taken pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 regarding the Community financing of projects in the sector mentioned, in particular with a view to ascertaining whether the projects are covered by the scope of Article 6 of the Regulation;

Whereas the addendum in question and the specific programmes approved relating to the various products contain 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 the sector concerned; whereas the estimated time required for execution of the programme 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 Sturcture,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

The addendum to the programme relating to the marketing of agricultural products forwarded by the Italian Government on 19 December 1986 pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 355/77 is hereby approved.
