COUNCIL DIRECTIVE

of 27 June 1985

concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (Ireland)

(85/350/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas ( 1 ), as last amended by Directive 82/786/EEC ( 2 ), and in particular Article 2 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ( 3 ),

Whereas Council Directive 75/272/EEC of 28 April 1975 concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (Ireland) ( 4 ), indicates which areas in Ireland are included in the Community list within the meaning of Article 3 (4) of Directive 75/268/EEC;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, the Government of Ireland has requested an extension, via a redefinition, of its less-favoured areas; whereas Directive 75/272/EEC should therefore be replaced by this Directive;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, the Government of Ireland, has informed the Commission that it wishes a number of areas to be included in the Community list of less-favoured farming areas; whereas it has supplied information concerning the characteristics of the areas in question;

Whereas the following criteria of the presence of infertile land, as referred to in Article 3 (4) (a) of Directive 75/268/EEC, were used to define each of the zones in question: percentage of ploughed area less than 7,8 % and a stocking rate of less than one adult bovine livestock unit per forage hectare;

Whereas the concept of economic results of farming appreciably below average, as referred to in Article 3 (4) (b) of Directive 75/268/EEC, was defined in terms of family farm income per male farm worker not exceeding 80 % of the national average;

Whereas low population density, as referred to in Article 3 (4) (c) of Directive 75/268/EEC, was defined as not more than 27 inhabitants per square kilometre (national and Community averages being 49 and 163 inhabitants per square kilometre respectively); whereas the minimum percentage of the total working population engaged in agriculture is 30 %;

Whereas the type and level of the abovementioned criteria used by the Government of Ireland to define the areas communicated to the Commission comply with the characteristics of less-favoured farming areas referred to in Article 3 (4) of Directive 75/268/EEC;

Whereas the areas adjacent to and contiguous with the Western Region should form part of the Western Region within the meaning of this Directive,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

The areas of Ireland listed in the Annex hereto shall be included in the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) of Directive 75/268/EEC.

Article 2

Directive 75/272/EEC is hereby repealed.

Article 3

This Directive is addressed to Ireland.
