CONTENT : the Council agreed on certain agricultural aspects to implement the measures of Article 299 paragraph 2 of the EC Treaty relating to outermost regions. These specific measures concern certain agricultural products in favour of the French overseas departments, the Azores and Madiera (see CNS/2000/0314) and the Canary Islands (see CNS/2000/0316) as well as amending the organisation of the market in beef and veal (CNS/2000/0317).
