THE COUNCIL 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 3577/90 (2), and in particular Article 10b (3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),

Whereas the objective of production aid for certain cereals provided for in Article 10b of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 is to encourage the production of buckwheat, canary seed and millet in the Community as an alternative to the production of surplus cereals; whereas the aid must be of an amount which permits that objective to be attained

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
