Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Hops,
