Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N掳 797/85 (2), and in particular Article 2 (2) thereof.

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),

Whereas the Government of the French Republic has, pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, requested the Commission to extend the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Article 3 (4) of that Directive on the basis of the criteria set out in Directive 75/271/EEC;

Whereas the request concerns the classificaton of 474 421 hectares, of which 237 985 hectares fall under Article 3 (4), and 236 436 hectares under Article 3 (5), of Directive 75/268/EEC;

Whereas the two types of area notified to the Commission meet the conditions of Article 3 (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC; whereas the first concerns less-favoured areas in danger of depopulation, in which the conservation of the countryside is necessary and which are homogeneous from the point of view of natural production conditions, and the second concerns areas suffering specific handicaps and thus they both meet the required characteristics;

Whereas, according to the information supplied by the Member State concerned, these areas have adequate infrastructures,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
