Whereas it has also proved to be necessary to make a number of amendments to the format; whereas for reasons of clarity it is appropriate to replace the whole text of Regulation (EEC) No 2823/87 with a new text ; Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Community Transit, () OJ No L 262, 26. 9. 1990, p. 1.
