Agricultural prices 1999/2000: support system for producers of arable crops (amend. regul. 1765/92/EEC)

Prices for agricultural products 1999/2000 - Arable crops (support system): The support system for certain arable crops (cereals, oilseeds, protein plants and linseed) was introduced in 1992 and will be amended under the Agenda 2000 proposals as from 2000/2001. With regard to base areas and ceilings for irrigation for the 1999/2000 marketing year, it is proposed that where the base area is exceeded, compensatory payments be reduced proportionately (one for one). This proposal is in line with the elimination of special set-aside, as proposed in Agenda 2000.�
