COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2082/93 of 20 July 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of the activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 130e and 153 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93 (4) amends Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (5); whereas Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 should therefore be amended (6);

Whereas the Member States should submit their development plans as soon as possible in order not to delay the implementation of structural assistance from 1 January 1994;

Whereas, in order to simplify and speed up programming procedures, there should be provision for the Commission to adopt simultaneously the Community support frameworks and the forms of assistance submitted largely in the form of a limited number of operational programmes at the same time as development plans; whereas for the same reason there should be provision for the plan and the application for assistance to be presented in a single document and for the Community support framework to be adopted and assistance granted through a single Commission decision;

Whereas, in application of the principle of subsidiarity, and without prejudice to the Commission's powers, particularly its responsibility for the management of the Community's financial resources, implementation of the forms of assistance contained in the Community support frameworks should be primarily the responsability of the Member States at the appropriate territorial level according to the specific needs of each Member State;
