Set-aside requirement for the 1996-1997 marketing year (derog. regul. 1765/92/EEC)

OBJECTIVE: To reduce the set-aside requirement (rotational set-aside and any other form of set-aside not based on rotation) to 10% for the 1996/97 marketing year only. COMMUNITY MEASURE: Council Regulation (EC) No 2336/95 derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops as regards the set-aside requirement for the 1996/97 marketing year. SUBSTANCE: The support system for producers of certain arable crops established under Regulation No 1765/92/EEC stipulates that, to benefit from compensatory payments, producers must set aside a percentage of their land according to market developments. On the basis of a forecast for 1995/96, the equilibrium sought between production and internal and external outlets may be maintained through an increase in Community production by returning a certain quantity of fallow land to cultivation. As a result, commencing not later than 15 January 1996, this regulation fixes temporarily (and for the 1996/97 marketing year only) the two rates for set-aside land, namely the rotational set-aside and other forms of set-aside not based on rotation, at 10% compared to 12% for the previous year. ENTRY INTO FORCE: 12 October 1995. The regulation applies to the 1996/97 marketing year only. �
