THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3808/87 (2), and in particular Article 4a thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1983/86 of 24 June 1986 laying down general rules for the system of direct aid for small producers in the cereals sector (3), and in particular Article 4 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2096/86 (4) provides that aid to small producers must be paid at the latest on 31 December following the end of the marketing year in respect of which the aid is granted; whereas certain difficulties of an administrative nature are preventing, in certain cases, the said time limit for the first marketing year of application from being complied with; whereas, in order to meet those difficulties, the time limit for the payment of the aid to small producers for the 1986/87 marketing year should be extended by one month;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
