Whereas, in the context of the implementation of the reform of the common agricultural policy and taking account, in particular, of current developments in farming conditions, the measures to improve production, processing and marketing structures should be adjusted to give the Member States greater leeway in choosing the specific conditions for implementing the said Objective;
