A support system of producers of certain arable crops: durum wheat (amend. Regul. 1765/92/EEC)

Following the presentation of the Commission’s proposal, which took place at the meeting on 16-17 September 1996, the Council held a debate on general objectives. During this discussion it became apparent that while a large majority of the delegations might accept the principle of introducing maximum guaranteed areas, differences existed as to the volume of MGAs to be held by each producer country in areas of traditional cultivation as well as in areas of non-traditional cultivation. The Council concluded the debate by asking the Special Committee on Agriculture to continue this work so that a ruling could be given on the matter as soon as Parliament’s opinion was known.
