THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Whereas Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 lays down the conditions producer groups must fulfil in order to be recognized, whereas it has become evident that several recognized producer groups in the Community have experienced great difficulties in practising common marketing of their members' produce;

Whereas an incentive should be provided to encourage producer groups to market their members' produce in common in order to tive growers a better position in the markt; whereas, for this purpose, the amount of aid 'should be reduced for those producer groups which do not practise common marketing of their members' total production,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
