Support system for producers of certain arable corps

OBJECTIVE: making savings within the EAGGF Guarantee Section by adjusting compensatory payments for arable crops in order to tackle the problems in the beef sector. SUBSTANCE: the amendments to Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 proposed by the Commission are aimed at: - reducing aid per hectare (cereals and silage crops; set-aside; oilseeds; non-fibre flax; additional aid for durum wheat); - maintaining compensatory payments for protein plants at their current level; - postponing advances for oilseeds by setting the date from which they may be paid at 16 October; - aligning compensation for set-aside on that for cereals. �
