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 3827/85 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas on 20 December 1985 the Italian Government submitted a programme on the treatment, processing and marketing of olives;

Whereas that programme involves the reorganization of first-stage processing, the modernization and the establishment of a more evenly balanced regional distribution of second-stage processing and the rationalization and modernization of the marketing of olive products, and in particular of olive oil and table olives, with a view to increasing productivity, reducing costs, improving quality and more particularly stepping up the participation of producers in processing and marketing; whereas it therefore constitutes a programme within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77;

Whereas the programme contains a sufficient number of the details referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, showing that the objectives mentioned in Article 1 of the said Regulation may be achieved in the olive sector in Italy; whereas the time limit laid down for the implementation of the programme does not exceed the period laid down in Article 3 (1) (g) of the said Regulation;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Italian programme on the treatment, processing and marketing of olive products, forwarded by the Italian Government on 20 December 1985 in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 355/77, is hereby approved.

Article 2
